thinking trying unpredictable
I think it's because I'm unpredictable. I view every situation, every race, and every candidate differently I try not to rely on something that worked before.
running
If you're running because you want a job that's prestigious or because you have this vague knowledge that you're better than everybody else, you're easier to beat.
running moving guy
You've got to attract interest in your candidate. The problem when you're running far behind is that you've got to move through those positive phases very quickly. Then, you have to draw attention to the other guy. You've got to create interest in why you differ from him and you've got to create a desire to remove him.

Just because someone thinks he is being attacked by the media doesn't mean he is. Many times the media actually is being fair, and they're attacking for good reason.
political mind trying
In the Rather/Bush incident, it was totally unfair. CBS was trying him and convicting him and trying to execute him on national television. They had made up their minds. CBS made the fatal error of trying to become the political opposition to George Bush. And, when they did that, they put themselves in an arena where they can get knocked on their fanny.
successful kind being-successful
To be successful, you've got to get the kind of torque that's created by a push and a pull.
running people advertising
If you're running far behind in the polls and you decide to use comparative advertising, you have to be able to explain to the people why the incumbent shouldn't have then ob.
