What’s your take on political campaign strategies? Part 1 of 2
Only in America! For better or worse, American political campaigns for President start ramping up two years before the election takes place. Now you’d think that if one year were spent seeking the most qualified candidates to be found in the entire country, another year would be more than sufficient for the candidates to sort out and implement their political campaign strategies.
However, that’s not how it works. Beginning two years prior to the actual voting date, well-heeled people already prominent in political circles begin by announcing their candidacy. Following the announcement, rounds of fund-raising parties are held to build up the coffers of the candidates, who essentially nominated themselves. Independents and unknown people, while potentially superbly qualified, don’t stand a chance. Why? No one will give them money. “Who’s he?”
Political campaign strategies seem to first rely on name and face recognition. This seems to fly in the face of our basic American values. When we apply for a job, the employer generally doesn’t know or recognize us. The employer is looking for the best qualified person for the position, not a household name. So why doesn’t this fairness and diligence extend to the highest office in America?
