Broadcaster-PoliticalBuys page: add marker for logged in users to show approved versus unapproved politicalbuys #69

Logged in users should have both View and Edit links. Non-logged in should only have View link

Confused by this as I would think users should only see approved listings unless they're on their dashboard page and can see the ones they've contributed that haven't been approved.

I think the idea here is that logged in users can see forms that are in need of data entry--even if they haven't submitted them. In general, we're gonna have a much greater need for people to data enter forms that have been submitted than we do for people to submit forms; that is, we're gonna start out with 15,000 files that need data entry--and add hundreds a day.

As long as we have some sorta 'edit' button that we can apply to some of the forms we can fine tune the logistics of who sees what and where as we go.

Then maybe it should live on a page like this: /states/CA/ ? I added a edit button to pages like this: /political-files/64614823-5cc9-4918-b30b-02e9ae23b5e7/

If the user is logged in, they should see all political buys, both approved and unapproved (whether they uploaded it or not for the reason @jsfenfen listed). I was also thinking they should also see edit buttons wherever the buys are listed. So on a page like /political-files/broadcaster/KSL-TV/ the list of buys for that station would have both view and edit links. But perhaps that is overkill? I think having edit buttons on all unapproved politicalbuys could encourage users to complete those...
