Follow The Pac


A play on the Wolf Pack mentality and the scientitsts who stydy them. If we view the super pac as an entity like wolves, worth studying we need to know:

  • Who are the people behind running and organizing the pac
  • What public knowledge can be used to apply a weight between person X and Candidate X (100 is best friends for ever and 0 is no relationship at all)
  • How can the weights of all the people be used to correlate SuperPacX to Candidate X with a weight of 75.
  • A SuperPac can have multiple weights, one for each candidate we are looking for the relationships between the people in the SuperPac and the Candidate. Theroretically you could associate the SuperPac with anything - a busuness, an industry and calculate the weight based on the people who are in the SuperPac and their relationships.
