IMHO, it’s not enough to elect Thompson. What’s needed is something on the order of another ‘Contract With America’. A public laundry list of commitments on key platform issues that conservative candidates in the House and Senate can get elected on and hopefully implement. I can remember feeling disappointed when the ‘94 Congress seemingly reneged on their commitment of support for term limits.
It’s got to be an easily recognizable campaign, with all candidates uttering the same slogan. Something like: “Hi, I’m Joe Schlabotnick, candidate for Congress, and I want to get ahead with Fred!” Same music, like the little notes you hear in ads for Pentium computer chips. Same little logo in the corner of the screen. Something that’s instantly recognizable no matter what candidate is running. It’d be like taking the McDonald’s approach to coordinated campaign ads.
Make that “Move Ahead With Fred!”
The tag music could be the last five notes of the song “Whip It” by Devo.
