Winning Your Political Campaign
To ensure victory in your political campaign, the first thing you must do is ensure that you’ll get 50-percent-plus-one of the vote total in your election. Ask your mother if she will vote for you. It might not be a good idea to ask your spouse.
In one famous case, a candidate got only one vote: his own. His wife was quoted in the newspaper as saying she didn’t think he had a good chance so she didn’t vote for him. The newspaper gleefully reported this under a headline that read “One man, one vote!” Politics is a tough business.
When you get your mother’s assurance that she will vote for you in your campaign, then start thinking about the number, the other 50 percent. This number is the focus of your campaign.
Just thinking about running for office can be intimidating. When you review past election statistics and realize that your only really need to win the votes of about ten percent of your city’s population, though, you’ll have a much better perspective on what you need to do. The number of votes you need to win a campaign is an attainable goal no matter what race you are running in.
Very early on in your campaign, you’ll have to pick your target number. You have to target an exact number of how many votes you will have to get in order to win. You determine that number by looking at the results in past elections and by analyzing board of elections statistics.
