The Insurgent Political Campaign

The Public Tell Us What They Believe

See The Political Dogfight to add to your list of Easy, Poll-based Campaign Issues that appeal across party lines in your District. I'll publish and updated full list at Dogfight later today or tomorrow. I will announce that here.

The Audio cast on Practical Politics, which doesn't get any easier when the Public gives you solid data that is exactly in-line with Democratic Party beliefs, will be up later today.

Political Listening....to Other Democrats

Cross-posted from The Political Dogfight is the audio version, with more detail, of a post about Political Listening and it's importance to every campaign.

This is a key skill for everyone.

Another Easy Issue to add to the List

From Political Wire:

Question of the Day

Q. What has contributed the most to declining approval of Congress in recent public opinion polls?

A. According to the National Journal's Congressional Insiders Poll, the answer depends on your party affiliation. Republicans blame "partisan bickering," while Democrats say the "failure to address the everyday concerns of average Americans."

Pretty easy to add to the list of Campaign Issues in the previous broadcast or in the written list at The Political Dogfight and appeal to everyone's interests!

Data Based Campaign Themes for '06

Every Campaign needs a series of themes that become the base of the Campaign and The Candidate. Based on polling data this podcast/blogcast offers several data based themes that can be used in any campaign.

Finding Your Money Donors Quickly

Any Campaign, Insurgent or otherwise, needs to have cash to run the Machine. Remember what Big Daddy Jesse Unruh said in California, "Money is the Mothers Milk of Politics." Big Daddy knew what he was talking about.

Remember we are trying to run a Campaign Machine that has been designed prior to the race so we don't have to build it on the fly. That's doing it the hard way! So this work has to done now.

So after some practical application on my part, here's another segment on: "Finding Your Political Donors Quickly and Building Your Database"

Open Seat in Orange County, Ca...an opportunity?

Rep. Christopher Cox, (R) of the Cal 48th Congressional has been nominated to head the SEC commission. His passage by the Senate is a lock. And I mean LOCK. (Want to know the truth? He's actually qualified.)

But this means an Open Seat Special Election in Orange County. The registration numbers in the District are overwhelmingly Republican yet most of the population could easily be described as 'socially moderate'.
Interesting. It's the topic of todays Podcast/BlogCast:

"An Open Seat in Orange County, CA. What does it present to us?"

Server Download problem and taking a break

There was a HUGE server download problem, as you know, with these audio files.

I have switched to my own servers. Problem Solved!

For our audio audience:
Server Issues and Taking a Break (1 min)

To compound the matter, my health is acting up a little ( I've had two heart attacks in the last two years and never missed a stroke during the campaign) and I have to just get away for awhile. More details at The Political Dogfight but suffice to say I'm unplugged for at least a week if not two.

See you soon. I'll be back within a week or two.

Santorum Calls for The Tyranny of The Majority and Compares Us to Hitler!

Senator Rick Santorum today so disgraced himself and The Senate floor that here is a special Podcast/blogcast on The Tyranny of the Majority (10 mins) that we face if we don't fight back effectively. Yes, this is where this headed in my opinion. It's an attack on The Constitution.

Please listen.

Campaign Messaging and a Little Strategy

Here's the podcast/blogcast I've had such trouble creating to express some thoughts on Campaign Communication, also known as Messaging.

This has been really difficult. So I hope it's useful. It is longer than I like but I couldn't find away to make it shorter without cutting substance and my own thoughts. Hope you enjoy.
