How does the metaphor “Inside Baseball” apply to politics?

The phrase inside baseball refers to a detail-oriented approach to the minutiae of a subject, which in turn requires such a specific knowledge about what is being discussed that the nuances are not understood or appreciated by outsiders.

Politics is not unlike making sausage– you don’t need to know how to make it as it is a pretty unpleasant process, let someone else make it for you and you get to enjoy the result!
