How to Raise Poll Numbers in NH

The first TV ad should not be run. It is going to cost us votes.

How do you know this? Did you talk to all of the undecided people that received one?

No, but that's how this works. People's attention spans are small. If they get a 15 page document in the mail, they will not read it.

I did put in my suggestion. No, I won't claim to know better than they do because I have no experience running a campaign. I don't see how this makes me a neo-con. And no, I won't sit here and say that they're the reason we've lost when we haven't lost! There's still a month to go and we've been on the upswing. There's a lot to be positive about. It's good that people are giving suggestions to the campaign. I did the same!

Sorry - definitely did not mean to imply that YOU are a neocon. That would be a pretty nasty thing to do.

And I am positive and I do think we can still win. I just know how important ORGANIZATION and COMMUNICATION is to our success.

Just b/c you don't have experience "running a campaign" does not mean you can't identify obvious problems with this campaign. I just don't like this blind "trust the national campaign - they know what is best" mentality.

Remember that the Bushies sold the Iraq war with one simple tactic...repetition.

In the very short amount of time left, repetition of the ads is the smartest move. I know it's all old hat to most of us, but the ads aren't there for our education or review. They're being seen for the first time by many, many NH residents.

Call, mail, move there and hit the streets, donate for the blimp to show up, buy print ads, e-ads, billboards, etc., etc., but don't waste time trying to tell HQ what to do.

It's a slippery slope for the campaign to directly respond to any instruction from the grassroots and vice versa. We do our thing, they do theirs.

I'm just sayin'...

Why won't the campaign get with the program?

All the points mentioned in the first post are completely valid in my opinion.... i hope the people in charge take notice and make some changes... time is running out.

Wouldn't it be great if the Iowa chairman proceeded to the national campaign the minute the caucuses are over? The guy is sharp and a real professional! No one's gonna listen to me, so would those in the know please pass on the suggestion.
