Poll question: Does the candidate's campaign = the candidate? |
|
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 01:58 PM by andym
A lot of people appear to feel that the candidate's campaign is essentially the candidate. Let's see how widely this belief is held.

2. The candidate has to rely on others to step up, when called upon |
|
They are by any means responsible for the tone and direction, but not responsible for every nuance and when the campaign staff fails so goes the candidates campaign.
Case in point I am a supporter of Mr Obama and happen to believe his direction and his team have been preforming well, but in the case of Ms Clinton I believe she is a better candidate than her campaign staff has served her, some of that is due to direction but most is due to the staff failing her.
She deserved a much better campaign then she has received.

4. No. Obama's running a tight campaign. He, on the other hand, is a chucklehead. |

If your a racist, do you have any idea the pedigree of that word or are you too illiterate to know what you use as speech.

Just because someone is too ignorant to know a word like spic, kike or nigger are derogatory hate speech doesn't mean they should continue to use it and I would hope people would educate themselves enough to know better than to perpetuate a lack of such knowledge when presented.

5. In what sense are you asking? |
|
Are you asking if the candidate is responsible for everything that his/her staff says and does? Are you asking if the public and professional style of a campaign indicates how a candidate would govern? Or are you asking if a campaign is a test of leadership?
I don't think that any of those questions could be answered with a simple yes or no.

7. The wording is kinda strong but I still voted yes. It is theirs, no doubt about it. |
|
If a candidate can't take responsibility for the people who are helping them get elected how can they take responsibility for the people in their administration?

12. Yes, the candidate is responsible for their campaign |
|
Occasional mishaps will occur because that's just life, but over the long run, the way the campaign operates definitely reflects the candidate. I don't see how anybody can say otherwise.
