Stopping at Plymouth? Sounds like an I-93 Partway-North Tour. At least he makes it two-thirds of the way. Further, I believe, than any of the female Democrat candidates!
This low-impact series of events are a poor use of 2 days of the candidate's limited and precious time. More wasted opportunity. The best candidate has the worst campaign organization. Do the math.
Careful - your mediocrity is showing!
I have to agree here with IrregardlessNH (that's a funny name, BTW). The media coverage of this 2-day visit will undoubtedly be low-impact. It's a shame, since I can't remember the last time Congressman Kucinich even visited NH (was it early June?). What's the problem with his campaign organization? All the other candidates get pretty good coverage, especially when they visit. Kucinich seems to have pretty good positions on many issues, but he really needs better exposure. I'd have to put responsibility for this failure at the feet of whoever's running his campaign here.
irregardlessnh is a mole working for another campaign.
I didn't think lies & name-calling were hallmarks of the Kucinich campaign, Mr. Chris Collier. I just stumbled across your post and thought I'd make some truthful observations. I don't work for any campaign; why would you make accusations like that are so obviously based on ignorance? Please name the campaign that I work for.
You know what I think? I think my original observations were pretty right on, and you don't want to admit the truth. So much for changing the tone of our political dialogue. At the end of the day, you (communications/media) guys are all the same whichever campaign you work for - it's all about "spin". Shame on you.
I'm not Chris Collier, irregardlessnh. Collier seems willing (unlike you) to use his real name.
You don't work for any campaign? What about that office of yours?
There you go: Blame the media and tell your supporters that they're the victims of media bias. What's the word I'm looking for to describe that? Leadership - that's it! As long as you act like victims & losers, you'll always be treated that way. So long as the Kucinich campaign keeps feeling sorry for itself and blaming others for poor media coverage, they'll continue to walllow at 1%. It is a primary responsibility of the campaign organization to garner media attention, especially BTW the responsibility of the "communications/media director". It's easy to make excuses for mediocrity and failure; it's apparently difficult to take professional responsibilty for results. Look in the mirror for answers. If you and your colleagues were competent, your candidate would see a bump in his poll numbers after a well-run 2-day campaign swing. I guess all I was saying from the start is that Kucinich's schedule next week looks weak, and unlikely to have any significant effect on his current standing in NH. You think it's a strong and effective use of his time? I hope you're right. But compare it to the events & schedules of his opponents. What's your unbiased professional opinion?
Hello Mr. (or Ms.) Anonymous. That's a French name, isn't it? Or is it Greek?
"Collier seems willing (unlike you) to use his real name."
I guess your first name is "Hypocrites", right? Just so I have this correct: Because you think I work in an "office", therefore I work for a candidate?
The closest I come to political campaigns is I really enjoy going to political events of all kinds (from both parties). I love the retail process we enjoy here in NH. So I follow campaigns with great interest as a hobby. But I haven't decided if and when to actively support any campaign.
It's interesting, for example, to observe the dichotomies of the current campaigns. Look at the differences between, say Congressman Kucinich & Senator Obama. Then compare their campaign organizations. The Congressman has a lot of good positions on issues, yet he can't get the word out. The Senator doesn't really have much of substance to say about anything, yet compare his support among voters. Kucinich could use more of what Obama's got. Why doesn't he have it? Well, when you put together campaign swings like the one upcoming for Kucinich, what do you expect? I went to a "small" Obama "town-hall meeting" a month ago - there had to be 1000+ people there. Why doesn't Kucinich draw those kind of crowds? The answer is obvious - mediocre campaign organization.
Honestly, I do think it'd be fun to join up with one or another campaigns soon. Maybe I will after the summer.
irregardlessnh - if you're so concerned, why haven't you volunteered with the NH Kucinich campaign?
irregardlessnh may be right! If only the NH Kucinich team had chosen a catchy name...well, things would be different, wouldn't they? The media would be crawling all over the candidate.
There's nothing quite like the stench of sour grapes that have turned into grapes of wrath.
A pity you were passed over for national leadership, Nathaniel...oops, I mean irregardless.
OK, you're right. I retract everything I said in this thread. The upcoming campaign schedule is the best! I can already feel the electricity in the air. Another home-run for Team Dennis!
