Welcome to Washington, D.C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWashington Post reporter Nate Hallberg is assigned to profile high-powered political consultant Jonathan Drees and uncovers the startling reality that American politics has been controlled by vampires for more than 200 years.

They already have. And they want more than your vote!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collusion of politicians and vampires has a rich and largely untold history.
