Poll question: Would you rather work for a can't miss winner campaign or a tougher one? |
|
Edited on Tue Apr-18-06 02:07 PM by undisclosedlocation
I've literally never worked on a winning campaign, so in my case my thinking (such as it is) is conditioned by worrying about somehow hoodooing somebody who might otherwise have a chance. I admit that this is totally insane, but there you are. I might really work for a no-chance liberal Dem candidate in incredibly conservative Lexington County SC. The sane arguments for doing so would be that the mis- mal- and nonadministration has done such a criminally reckless job that lifelong Republicans, especially actual fiscal conservatives, would have to be willing at least to think about a change. Anyway, whaddyathink?

1. If you mean volunteer, it doesn't matter to me. |
|
If you mean salaried employee with a career track, I'd rather go for a tough, nearly impossible campaign.

2. You sound a little like the "TARGETED RACE" crowd. They do not want to run |
|
anybody here in TX. Because Democrats don't run the Rethug get away without anyone calling them on their lies. We have to fight them everywhere. Ask Dr. Dean.

3. No I don't. I just said I was going to work for the guy with no chance |
|
I agree with you totally and in fact have considered running myself just to have a name with a D by it in one of my local races.

I'm working (as a volunteer) on www.stoverforcongress.us we are getting no help from national party. They say we need at least 600,000 to 1 million dollars. john "shimbush" shimkus already has 1 million or more. He's on the energy committee which can be very lucrative. I think we might have a chance because of bushes problems. We need help.........
