Door-to-door Campaign: Why it works

I like elections. It's so... violent and healthy.

So election time is here again, and our esteemed candidates are at it once more in giving their best speeches yet. But God hopes they don't turn up an Obama or hell will break loose in PLP.

So what do we got? College level candidates and University level candidates.

So far, the college level candidates have made their appearance in my class just this morning, and most of them are... now how would I say this without insult... funny. In the BS Math, they got two parties: Vote Straight and Vote Curly.

Yeah... Like I said.

And even their promises sound a bit off, like when they promise to give out t-shirts, jackets, and bags with the BS Math logo. But somehow I get their drift... (which I will tell why in the near future)

Oh, yes... door-to-door campaign. I does work, you know? You get to see up close all the candidates and corner them with your questions. It's an inescapable method, really.

The problem is, if either the classroom audience or the candidates find themselves not ready, then, the whole exercise is a big failure.

For the candidate, it's a big loss, since for each classroom, there will definitely be a cluster that will either follow him or ridicule him. When the candidate is not quick, he might end up stumped on a question and be booed out of existence.

And it's worse for the classroom audience because it is an opportunity to test the candidate if he is worthy or not. So,if they remain lethargic and the candidate is enthusiastic, it's still a loss.

So, guys, be aware of what's happening. It's your only chance.
