Reply #16: The simple answer....second place [View All]

You get little press coverage for second place...particularly if it's as much as 15% behind. The only way you do is if you manage to parlay it into a comeback a la Bill Clinton.

Like I've mentioned elsewhere...practicality is not a strong suit for Dennis' campaign.

I love the idea of a Dept. of Peace, I love the idea of free college, I love the idea of cutting 1/4 out of the defense budget.

However, DK can not do that alone...he has to have congress approve it. I really would like to here his plan that makes at least some of this practical...what incremental steps will he take? Who does he have on his side to push this? Where's the proof he can pull the press along with him.

Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan were both masterful with the press...from opposite sides of the spectrum. If you get their attention and the public's attention and cater some to them as people, they have no choice but to follow.
