campaign strategy

PEOPLE; Volunteers on the street and in the phone banks in an election year for each 8-hour shift equal in value to $1000 (Yes, you read that right) in campaign donations by the rich old white men. If you LAY DOWN and TAKE IT because of the Supreme Court ruling yesterday, you have conceded the...

I don't care about stupid things Romney may have done in his youth. I'm a little bothered by the dog on the car roof thing, but I don't consider it a presidential disqualifier. I want to hear about his plan for running the country. So far I have heard a lot of complaints about the job Obama...

This guy's worse than a SCOTUS Judge answering questions in a confirmation hearing. Romney avoided answering any and all specific policy questions in an entire interview on Face the Nation. Face the Nation: Why is Mitt Romney afraid of the media? This comment cracked me up:

The newest premium; iPhone cases. http://store.barackobama.com/iphone.html?utm_source=mobile&utm_medium=sms&utm_campaign=20120223_iphone_cases I look forward to Romney's tone-deaf attempt to match Obama strategy.

So Palin wants to run for President. But she says she will only do interviews with Fox News and right wing radio. Do you think she can actually be successful with this strategy? Is it possible to have a campaign that actually goes anywhere while not going on any of the mainstream news outlets...

http://dailycaller.com/2010/09/25/democratic-house-members-highlight-their-vote-against-tarp-despite-not-being-in-congress-when-it-passed/ So now we have democrats running against TARP. We have them running against the health care bill (in fact, out of 279 democrats who voted for ObamaCare...

Nobody seems to be disputing that Arizona Republicans have found a winning strategy to create division among Democratic voting ranks - fill Green Party positions! And thus kicks off what promises to be a promiseful election season here in the backwoods of Arizona. Election season works a bit...

I singled out Sean, as he has already put lots of effort into trying to derail Obama and get McCain in. The conservative talk show hosts and pundits need to talk about how things were quite good under Bush up until 2 years ago(and consider that it was pretty good considering all the money being...

There are reports that McCain is thinking about withdrawing resources from Colorado if there is a chance the GOP can win without it. Someone should cue the Queen Classic "Another One Bites The Dust" about now.

Errrrrr.... I understand that political campaigns try to spin things in their favor even when the points in question are against them but... come on.... http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/10/13/america/NA-POL-US-Elections.php They are down a "couple" of points? The economy has hurt them...

Obama / Biden have a (new?) web site called.... http://www.johnmccainrecord.com ... which does a pretty good job of answering questions about McCain. So far, with on line contributions and fact checking sites it seems that Obama is way out in front of McCain with the Internet. I feel McCain...

I've heard it said early on this is Obama's race to lose. Considering the circumstances (economy, war) American's will vote for a change. The early poll numbers supported that premise. McCain tried to rock the boat by picking Palin and it worked for a couple weeks. As things started to...

I did some research on this topic earlier in the year and posted it to my blog. For our foreign forum members, Home Field Advantage is a term commonly used in sports to reflect the fact that in most sporting events the home team wins more often than the visitor. In American (NFL) Football, for...

This meme seems to be getting a little play today. Richard Nixon, who appeared on more presidential tickets (at the top or the bottom) than anybody except FDR, famously observed that the secret to winning the presidency was to secure your party's nomination, and then run to the center as fast...

Just like typical spam... Came from Eastern Europe. Addressed me by the wrong given name. Not all spelled correctly. He's gonna make a lot of friends that way!
