How to win voters over to your side no matter where you are running

here are people will vote for you no matter what. They don’t care what your positions are on any issue, nor do they care about your ability to perform, the content of your latest speech or how effective your campaign is. While campaign professionals like to refer to this group as “committed supports,” they are more commonly referred to in layman’s terms as “your parents.”

By contrast, some people will never vote for you no matter what you do and in spite of your positions on vital issues or your qualifications. Some would cynically say that those are called “in-laws”, but in truth, they’re just your opponent’s parents. All other voters are up for grabs.

Sleeper issues –

Hope this helps candidates in districts that are traditionally hard to win. Ideas and issues are great motivators if delivered properly.

Hmmm I am not sure my parents would vote for me if I ran as anything other than democrat. I think they would simply disown me and vote dem.

I think someone should make a bumper sticker that says:

"My Dad(or mother) died recently, the Democrats are sure going to miss him/her."

Are you kidding? They’re CHICAGO democrats, death is no obstacle to letting their vote count!
