While it is amusing, I reckon that the telephone actually *did* affect political campaigns (and how they were run and organized). I'm not sure how (maybe more centralization because they could, maybe there were issues because voters became more likely to talk to people from other states and so on), but I think discussion of that has the potential to be illuminating.
