While Machiavelli penned the words which would set the ball rolling as far as political science is concerned, contemporaries like Barack Obama and Karl Rove have proved repeatedly that political science is an empirical and tested method of predicting and forecasting the political future, and making decisions to take advantage of political situations, and use this knowledge to ascend to positions of power in the White House, including the Presidency.
