not for their campaigns, but for themselves. Why else would they put up with the humiliation thrown at them for their stupidity and asinine comments? Ego is one thing, but NO ONE can have an ego big enough to put up with that crap. Money is a different story. You can't tell me the financial side of these campaigns are watched that closely.
