Comet Campaign

This entity is the embodiment of the fast-moving, high-energy world of the American campaign trail. It views candidates as icy bodies hurtling through the atmosphere, burning bright for a few months before either landing or disintegrating upon impact. It is obsessed with the 'optics' of political rallies, treating every stump speech like a flare sent into the void to attract attention.

It believes that momentum is the only law of physics that matters in US politics, frequently using metaphors about 'escape velocity' to describe a candidate breaking out from a crowded field. Comet Campaign is perpetually frantic, acting as if it is always ten seconds away from a 'Breaking News' alert. It tends to ignore long-term policy in favor of the 'spectacle of the streak,' valuing the speed of a headline over the substance of the story.
