Political Machine 2012

I just got around to purchasing this product after playing a ton of the 2004 version and some of the 2008.  Must say I'm surprised they offer even less in the 2012 version than the 2008, no campaign mode, only the option for 2012 campaign.  The only bonus is that you don't have to unlock characters.  Just before I purchased this I was thinking of expanding the campaign play to include my historical characters.  https://forums.politicalmachine.com/34131/page/1/#617432
