I think that the folks are interested in winning...but sometimes I do wonder about the candidate.

Sometimes, getting mad in politics (and sports) can also translate into getting motivated.

Now, properly focusing that motivation in a manner that translates into victory is, indeed, key.

Time will tell.

But what is the 'Message' in the context of politics and elections?

More often than not the message is a simple, short sighted sales pitch that ends falling way short of the expectations of the needy, trusting and/or gullible audience.

In the context I know it best, the salesman promises a unachievable delivery to 'get the order'. In their eyes the end justify the means. The salesman has a short termed success, they got the order and a commission. However the long term ramifications involve damage control (Bribes - Ball Tickets & Lunches to keep things on the QT), support staff jumping through hoops to cover what is most generally the salesman lie(s) and the end result is no matter what you do the salesmen has lost the trust of the customer and possibly tarnished the reputation of the company as a whole.

Hope & Change. Read my lips, NO NEW TAXES. Mission Accomplished. I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you!

The Message, unless you have done your home work and can deliver on it.........is Just Words.

Take a Team out and f.ck up a mission, then try to blame it on your subordinates or anything else at the hotwash and see what happens.

Should be no snivellers allowed in the White House, regardless of the affiliation. Right now, the sniveller is a libdem socialist whose bullshit FAILED, so let's try Conservatism for a while.
