You may want to look at moving the determination of "selectedSegmentID"
into a subquery in the from clause. It looks like you could join with a
subquery that joins CampaignSegment and CampaignSegment_Affiliate which
provides all of their columns plus the selectedSegmentID and then
reference that in the select clause and other joins.
