Helping Tom Reilly Fundraise

Tactic #1: Reilly Needs Some Campaign Magic

Most politicians get a little campaign magic in the form of some good luck. For example, an Attorney General could try to take advantage of a major state project that turns into a total nightmare that just drops on the voters’ heads. However, Tom Reilly is proactive. He doesn’t wait for tons of things to drop on people’s heads.

If Reilly wants some campaign magic, all he needs to do is say Allakazaam.

Tactic #2: Ban the Yankees

Nothing gets me more upset than the fact that the Red Sox are 2 games back. I want a Governor who can do something about it! Though it wouldn’t seem to be a Governor’s job to regulate sports, it’s not as if it would be the first time. Between US Senate hearings on baseball in DC and states building expensive sport statiums all around the country, many voters probably think it’s a Governor’s duty to get involved.

Quite simply, the Red Sox need to win more games than the Yankees. While Tom Reilly has no jurisdiction over New York as Attorney General and would have no power over New York if elected Governor, he could at least make a law that says the Yankees lose whenever they come to town. Furthermore, Reilly doesn’t have to wait till he’s elected to do something about it! If he tried all the Yankees for playing baseball in Fenway – which could be against the law with Reilly’s support – the Yankees would be doomed! Plus, Reilly could become the next Red Sox mascot – who needs the Green Monster when you have Reilly?

Tactic #3: Improve Speech Skills

People don’t like boring politicians – after all, how else would Bush have won? In order to convince voters that Reilly has great charisma and communication prowess, he should practice oratory skills from some of history’s best speakers – the JFKs, FDRs and even the greatest American ever – Sunny Ronald Sunshine Brightness Reagan.

Although, maybe Reilly doesn’t need it. I mean, it’s not as if voters would ever think he could be boring at all!

Tactic #4: Give Out Something Really Cool & Do Something Really Different

Lots of politicians give out buttons – boring. Furthermore, lots of campaigns repeat the same boring messages like “vote for me.” Voters want something different. I think I just may have an idea.

There’s even more reasons for Tom to don a Deval button. Not only would people never expect to see Reilly wear a Deval button, but maybe even one or two people would find it sort of honorable and vote for him – kinda like that stupid movie no one watched. Let’s face it, Reilly needs every vote he can get.

Furthermore, it would confuse lots of voters into playing this logic game: “He’s wearing a Deval button, so he must be voting for Deval. Unless, maybe he wants us to think that so we’ll vote for him? Or, maybe, he wants us to think that he wants us to know that and vote for the other guy? Or maybe…” I submit that anyone who thinks along those lines will probably come to the conclusion that Reilly should win – thus making it a very effective campaign strategy.
