In case you're curious about the mysterious rise of South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg in the Democrat presidential polls recently, Politico has revealed it was not so much because of grassroots support but much more due to an incredibly intensive campaign for media attention.  The person behind this media hype campaign appears to be one Lis Smith, a well-connected and hyperactive Democrat operative with a lot of political experience. 

So if you think that Buttigieg's recent poll surge is due to his political positions, you are probably wrong. Politico writer David Freedlander revealed on Monday how the media was willingly manipulated to pay attention to Buttigieg's campaign in "‘I Want Him on Everything’: Meet the Woman Behind the Buttigieg Media Frenzy." The subtitle explains a bit further: "How hard-charging New York operative Lis Smith helped turn an obscure Indiana mayor into a national name."
