Can't anyone play this game?

A few years back, I reads Robert Caro's Master of the Senate. The thing about the book that most stuck with me was the political genius of Richard Russell. While he was a racist old bastard, he knew how to count votes, and he knew not to showboat in order to get votes. We could use his skills (if not his worst attitudes) right now.
