This is something I dont understand. When you say “energy” and “personality”, “no fire in the belly”, what exactly do you mean? Should Fred scream everytime he talks (worked well for Dean). Perhaps Fred should not hold his hand over his heart when the pledge is recited? Fred is a steady, calm and witty personality. I prefer those over a screaming lying lunitic or a youngster with ZERO experience (your comparison to osama obama).
“If Fred is the nominee and Obama is the Rats’ nominee the youth vs age and energy vs tired contrast will be overwhelming.”......Again, don’t get your “tired” contrast. Would you feel better if Fred got his eyes “done”? Would that do it for you? sheesh!
As I said in #48...
Now how can we (Fred) begin to turn the common perception around?
How about finding a young energetic celebrity, perhaps a singer, to endorse him and tour with him?
How about having an young, inspiring kick-off speaker to introduce him at each stop?
To these I will add...
How about making some campaign commercials that show the energy of some of the campaign stops with music, excited people, flag waving chldren? The low key, fireside chat with Fred commercias are good to show his serious side. What is needed now is ENERGY!
How about a popular celebrity endorsement and public introduction? The celebrity draws the crowd and Fred wows them with his vision for America.
How about music, music, music. Heart throbing, foot stomping, hand clapping music?
Does any one have any ideas about how to add energy to the campaign?
