Party Animals

I think that the article represents Chris Matthews’ “It’s Not Who You Know, It’s Who You Get to Know” perfectly because it shows almost a hypothetical place listing. If a person is at the top of a list of “democratic party animals”, it means they are getting around Washington, and getting their name out. The more people you know, the more ahead you a person can get in the game of politics and Politico’s list helps the people to gauge where they are and where the need to be. It’s almost as if the list is a report card to the politicians. The politicians host and attend these parties as way to network with all of the important people on Capitol Hill. Networking is the modern term of "It's Not Who You Know, It's Who You Get To Know".
