Ten things losing candidates say
Stu Rothenberg lists ten things losing US candidates say – which apply somewhat here also:
- “I’m running a grass-roots campaign.”
- “The only poll that matters is the poll on Election Day.”
- “I’m the next [insert big name politician here].”
- “I’m not going to run any negative ads.”
- “I’m not going to accept PAC money.”
- “My son is running my campaign.”
- “Money doesn’t win elections, ideas do.”
- “I’m going to win this race the same way I did when I got elected to the state House.”
- “People know me.”
- “My district is different.”
