Reply #86: I don't understand. [View All]

I have never criticized the voters for anything. Did you think they did something wrong? I always tell school boards that if you are going to ask people to increase their taxes so you can have money: "You need to sell your bond issue to the voters just as any common salesman would sell whatever product he is pushing". People do not easily part with their money unless they are a sucker. If you are running for an elected office you need to sell people on the idea that you are the best candidate for the job if you want that job, and you have to do it with the conditions given. I didn't think Davis tried very hard as he was relying on the press to do the "Politics of Personal Destruction" thing for him. Democrats need to learn not to rely on their friends in the media. Every Democrat needs to take charge of his own campaign or find a very competent person to do it. Relying on others in the hope that they will get you elected doesn't always work.
