I think you're underestimating the power of rebranding a product. It -does- work, and with the way our elections are arranged, you only have to sell it once to see a return on your investment...keep that in mind. To use the most dramatic example, sure, it'd be nice to buy a government cheap, but whatever you end up spending, and however long it takes, you're likely to recoup that and see profits regardless. Think of the Tea Party as a low ball offer (a budget class branding effort) that failed. Also, keep in mind, that any damage incurred by the branding effort on either the party you're up against, or the party you're floating, isn't your problem (but can very easily be to your benefit in either case).
A quick and dirty example, if I wanted to buy or lease land, I could actually contact a 3rd party (or a group of them) to lowball the owner first, then i wait a little bit for them to get into each other about value, before I offer my own bid (cutting out the middlemen while allowing them to haggle the price for me in advance).
