  • Political Promotional Products: An Effective Use Of Campaign Dollars - According to a recent article by Jim Kuhnhenn, presidential candidates are planning to spend more than ever before on advertising. For instance, Kuhnhenn says Barack Obama has spent more than “$2.7 million in ad spending in Iowa alone, according to data compiled by other presidential campaigns.” He added that most of the candidates’ advertising dollars will be spent on television and radio ads, especially in Iowa and New Hampshire.
  • Achieve Political Success Through A Promotional Product Political Campaign - All political candidates may not agree on political, societal or economic issues, but it is safe to infer political candidates agree that a successful political campaign builds public support and success. Political campaigns, similar to marketing campaigns, must use effective and useful slogans in order to grasp a typically uninterested audience. In order to do so, political candidates need to get up and work for support.
  • Technology and Politics; The Internet's Influence on Politics - Can, and will, the next generation of politicians exploit the communication mediums available to them? Will the new communication mediums have the power to influence public opinion? Will politicians be the victims of technology, or will they use it to their benefit? Will one party benefit from the use of the technology more than another? All reasonable questions, considering the role technology plays in today's society. The staggering distribution numbers, through channels like iTunes, YouTube, or podcasting websites, indicate that technology could play a critical role in the upcoming elections. Technology could be the deciding factor in the 2008 US Presidential race, and while distribution has never before been as accessible as it is to today's politicians and political candidates, politicians have far less control over the news and media than their counterparts in previous years.
  • Burgers, Fries And Ignorant Politics: Does Democracy Need An Overhaul? - America has become a confusing place for many people who are trying to decipher through the mess of politics that is inherent in a huge country that touts democracy.
  • Poking Gentle Fun With Clever Political T-Shirts - Sometimes it seems like we're a nation split in two. There is a red half and a blue half, each feeling very strongly that they right and the other side is wrong. Before elections, candidates' signs litter our highways, streets and yards. Our mailboxes are stuffed with pamphlets, and negative campaign commercials and infomercials take over our TVs. Everyone has an opinion, but, truth be told, it often looks like we're a nation of sheep, blindly following a party or a candidate, and unable to think for ourselves.
  • Talking Politics With Teens - It can be challenging to discuss politics across generations without someone melting down (usually you) or tuning out (usually them), but it's not impossible. Here are six traits of adults with the power to engage teens and inspire them to activism. Be teachable.
  • Peanuts Aren’t Really Peanuts – "A" Doesn’t Equal "A" - I am holding a can of peanuts in my hand and reading the label. The front of the can says it contains Roasted Peanuts. I turn the can around and read the ingredients. The main ingredient is Peanuts. I believe we can assume that this is a can of peanuts. But wait a minute, there is another category that says Allergy Information: And guess what it says. Contains Peanuts. Is this ridiculous or what?
  • Technology and Politics - Americans have always had a say in their government, at least in theory. Since the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783, the United States of America has been the "land of opportunity," where even a lowly log-splitter, exercising sufficient brains and dedication, can raise himself to the highest executive office. The U.S. Constitution safeguards the right to vote for every citizen over eighteen years of age, with few exceptions, ensuring a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
  • The Mind And The Heart In America's Political Campaigns - We have, in this country, a tradition of leadership that aims to appeal both to the intelligence of the 'common man', and also to the heart within each person that assesses character and that decides upon voting behavior. For most people, such decisions are not just based on the ideas and issues that candidates present, but also on the integrity, depth, and commitment that a candidate brings to these ideas and issues.

  • The Palin Power Factor - The Sarah Palin frenzy goes on ...... We had another dose at the VP debate of what this governor is all about. She has the good looks, charisma, spunk, intelligience, self confidence, and charm all wrapped into one lovely package. Donny Deutsch of the Big Idea, puts it even better. She has the marketability of a good product.
  • Generation Engage: Raising Kids Who Change The World - By the time the next President is in the third year of his or her term, my teenagers will be eligible for the draft. Believe me, we're watching the candidates closely when it comes to their views on war - and arguing about them. If your family's anything like ours, you're probably discussing issues around the dinner table during this election year. Parents have a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime chance to inspire our kids to consider the habit of activism, even if they can't vote this time around.
  • Terrorism: A New Perspective - I've been wondering lately about the word "terrorism" and its various definitions. It is certainly an appropriate inquiry considering today's world environment. What does it mean and how is the word applied? Is terrorism always for a political purpose? Is it always one group against the establishment or can there be other applications as well? Can there be personal terrorism? Can it be one person against another or a small group against one person and then not for a particular political gain but for some psychotic need to control? Generally speaking, the word terrorism is used to describe the unlawful or harmful acts committed or threatened against someone for a political or ideological gain.
  • 18 In ’08 Gets My Vote - On October 1, I had the privilege to come to Rutgers to see a screening of 18 in '08, a documentary produced by David Burstein, a Haverford College freshman. The documentary's purpose: to get out the youth (18 to 24 year-old) vote and tell politicians how to make it happen. Burstein and friends interviewed over 60 elected and former office-holders: Congressmen, Senators, Governors, mayors, state legislations and Presidential candidates, as well as activists, campus leaders, journalists and political consultants — but thankfully, only one celebrity — Richard Dreyfuss.
  • What is CLTV? - I have heard all the hype from the media about how bad the mortgage market is doing. And, of course I have also heard each of our Presidential Candidates run down the economy over and over again, not caring that it is their hype that is pulling it down.
  • Managing the Recruiter - You're a manager and don't have the time to do the all of the recruiting for your open position, so you rely on other people to help you in your talent search. Whether you depend on your Human Resources Department or outside recruiters to find the right candidates, it's important to know what you can expect from them. Note: Most companies use external recruiters for hard to fill positions. The cost is high but worth it in a tight talent marketplace. Time is so important and you want the right candidates to show up at your office for interviews, so set clear expectations. ==>What Can You Expect from the Recruiter? A recruiter can do all or part of the recruiting process.
  • More About Mike Huckabee - For anyone who is into politics, there are bound to be one or two political figures that stand out. That does not necessarily mean that they are the best. But we all know who they are, what they stand for, and we like whatever it is that they are representing. Therefore, we show our support in our own little ways. Mike Huckabee is one such example. Who is Mike Huckabee?
  • Gossip In Politics May Deceive You - Before people start to think that I am waging some sort of vendetta against the great Iain Dale, please be assured that I am not! I really like Iain's blog (and comment there far too regularly) and I have more than an ounce of respect for him as a commentator, but I think he is occasionally not quite spot on. I am talking about his criticism of DK/the Libertarian party's policy to abolish income tax. Personally, this wouldn't be my first policy were I to be elected PM but I don't see any reason why a political party shouldn't have it as a policy. A political party is surely free to set its own policies and be judged on them.
  • The Career in Politics - Why do candidates for Congress spend millions of dollars for an office that pays $169,200.00? Between 2004 and 2006, members of Congress' net worth increased an average of 84% - book advances, speaking engagements, stock and land deals, privileged mortgages, etc. The United States is no longer the representative democracy our founders conceived because of a glaring flaw in our Constitution: it allows individuals to make a career of public office.
  • Minneapolis Computer Rentals Market Gearing Up For a Digital RNC - Those heading to Minneapolis-St. Paul to participate in or report on the gathering of the G.O.P.
  • The Obama and Oprah Selling Machine - Who is on your sales team? Often, success in the field is far from an individual effort. There is frequently an inside customer service group, service coordinators, a product expediter, a dependable shipping department and quality vendor technical support operating behind the scenes ensuring that the customer's experience is a good one. The salesperson is the facilitator of these collective efforts and the representative of their company when dealing with customers. This past weekend, the rapidly changing political landscape was introduced to the live version of a new phenomenon. Although Hollywood-types have often backed political candidates and causes, the world has been holding their breath in anticipation of the impact of Oprah's endorsement of Barack Obama.
  • Government by Auction - In the later half of the 1800s, as more and more money gathered in fewer and fewer pockets, bribery became an accepted political practice and the Free-Marketplace of Ideas became the Convenience-Store of Accumulation. Seats in the federal senate formed the pinnacle of this political aggregation. Those interested in national legislation toured the country buying senatorships for like-minded statesmen. Local legislative candidates, after pledging to support the “correct” senatorial aspirant, received financing for the graft, ballot-stuffing and intimidation essential to the successful late 1800's campaign. Americans tired of this government by auction. From 1872 to 1913, there were two-hundred-thirty-nine (239) formal calls “for direct election of the Senate, including 220 state party platforms and 19 national party platforms.” In 1892, California voters endorsed direct election by a vote of fourteen (14) to (1); Nevada voters weighed in a year later, approving the idea eight (8) to one (1);
  • Viewing American Politics From The Perspective Of Martians - I'm being silly, but indulge me here as I veer off into the realm of fantasy. Not *that* kind of fantasy, but the world from a Martian’s perspective. Say we're explorers from Mars sent to Washington D.C., in human form, in the year 2007. What would be our conclusions about American politics were we to come down fresh, understanding very little of the political system?
  • A good citizen - A good citizen is one who knows his rights and duties as a citizen. He asserts and performs his duties with equal zest. He right in fact imply his duities. In all democracies an individual enjoys political as well as civic rights. Political right consists of right to vote, right to freedom of expression and faith, right to movement etc. Civic rights are of as vital importance as the political right. This enables an individual to live in a civilized manner. A good citizen defends his political and civic rights very zealously. The state helps him in that through law and justice.
  • How Do I Know If I Am a Candidate For a Debt Relief Program? - While specific debt relief companies have their own requirements for candidates, there are a number of fields that individuals can examine in order to determine whether or not they will likely be good candidates for such programs. To begin with, most companies require their applicants to be at least ten thousand dollars in debt, and they must also possess a deep desire to become free of debt. Many individuals who are in the military cannot be aided by such programs because debt negotiation and debt consolidation may jeopardize the individuals who need security clearance. Individuals who are employed by the federal government need to be carefully screened in order to determine whether or not they are choice candidates for such a program.
  • Political Correctness And Brand Media - I think that political correctness goes out the window when trying to brand. To have sizzle as a brand you have to regardless of the rules of the day understand the importance of being distinctive. You may have to forget about the standards and ask what people implicitly look for when reading advertisements. Sure they want your mission statement and bio information. What attracts the public is often times the irrelevant.
  • Why Use A Headhunter? - Why use a headhunter? Headhunters are used for varied reasons, including and most especially for people looking for middle management and executive positions within their chosen industry.
  • Chinese Politics, influences of the past, feeling of "déjà vu" - The actual debate concerning the political system in China raises many inquiries, remarks, critics, and observations... To what extent does communism benefit the People's Republic? Is there a democracy model that could be applied to China? What would be its long-term impact on China? On the World? Before discussing these subjects and arguing on details, we should try to have better insights on China's political model true origins. Another interesting point worth addressing is the fact that despite criticisms, most countries are actually keen on developing partnerships and other opportunities on its soil, under its rules. After the collapse of East European and Soviet communism in 1989, the people in China began losing their confidence in communism.
  • Recruiting - Asking the Right Questions - Someone has weeded through hundreds of resumes to come up with a short list of candidates that potentially meet the requirements of the position. Now it's time to interview the candidates. The interviewing process entails several internal and external components, yet there is one aspect of interviewing that is very important...asking the right questions of the candidates. Most managers wing this part of the interviewing process. They depend on their gut to assess the candidate's appropriateness for the position. Their questions don't delve deeply into the candidate's ability. In this competitive talent landscape, you can't go by your gut.
  • Vote For My Parent! Why The Candidates' Kids Mattered In Election 2008 - This election, First Kid wannabes have been in the public eye like never before.

Cate Edwards hit the trail diligently even though she was a busy second year Harvard Law student.
  • Republicans Vs Democrats - Currently in the United States there are two main political parties, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. While not every person ascribes to every belief of their stated political party, generally, the beliefs held are as follows: REPUBLICAN PARTY Republicans prefer a small federal government, only performing those functions that are specifically stated in the Constitution. They believe the federal government should provide for the defense of the country, mint the money and raise the military. They place the freedom and rights of the individual over that of the majority. They believe that taxes should be for the benefit of local government and are opposed to high taxes. Republicans preserve peace by strengthening defense. The strength of the nation's economy is in free enterprise and individual and national prosperity. The role of the individual and the family is placed before that of government.

  • Political Games - America is gearing up to pick a new and hopefully improved President of The United States. The stakes are high and yet is anyone really asking the right questions? The media seems to be more concerned with sound bites or slips of the tongue or even a fashion statement to define the right person for the job.

We all are seeking peace and harmony world wide, a good education for our children and health care that will meet all of our growing needs.
  • 3 Tips for Hiring the Right People—and 2 Traps To Avoid - One of the most costly mistakes for small business owners is making a bad hiring decision. Losing the money spent on recruiting, the time to interview the candidates, and the time and cost spent on employee training are a few of the major profit-squeezers that result from hiring mistakes.

Generally they may or may not work for an agency, but most of them have many clients and act as a third party representative.

  • The Need For A New Ethic In America Presidential Campaigns - America's love for a display of might and power, of triumph over the adversary, and of a 'winning strategy', is not only evident in her foreign policy and conduct of war, but also in her presidential campaigns. Here, aggression, while disapproved of by many at one level, is also admired by others, and seems almost to be a necessity of political life – one that applies to political rivals at home as well as to adversaries abroad. Within presidential campaigns and American political life in general, aggression appears to be a not-so-hidden American value, as one seeks to remain 'on-top' by removing someone else to 'the bottom'.
