The new rules of politics - by Karl Rove
- wumi 19y agodoes anybody else find it odd he doesn't refer to "George W. Bush" as President Bush?
- bayareaguy 19y agoHis new rules: - The big bounce is gone. - Television ads don't matter as much as they used to. - Technology allows a candidate to raise money quickly and inexpensively. - Debates are a great way to come on late and make up for a lack of resources and endorsements. His old rules: - Appealing to one part of the party isn't enough. - Adapt or die. - Bad exit polls shape coverage. - Win early somewhere or run darned close. - Joining the race a lot later than everyone else doesn't work. - Money still cannot substitute for likability or message or broad appeal. - Ideas still matter. Some of these seem remarkably similar to startup company tips we've seen here many times.
