When running for political office, rule #1 is “Know Thy Constituents”. In Red state Texas, where Denton County is, Republicans always garner between 55% and 60% of the vote, simply because they are the Republican candidate. Those who cast votes do so as a protest vote aimed at the other party rather than as an affirmation of one’s “expertise” to seek a particular office.
All this being said, what has this candidate done to hurt her efforts with her choice of signs? Hint: In the spirit of Sesame Street, what pronoun of the top three here doesn’t go with the other two?
TeaParty mentalities, being as narrowly focused as they are, may get more transfixed on the name of the candidate rather than the fact that she is the declared “Republican” in this race. The name “Michelle” is too close to their sworn enemy, President Obama and the candidate’s surname reminds them of a culture TeaPartiers most despise, n’est pas?
And using only blue with no red? What was she thinking?
