Carter Campaign “Strategy” #6

Honesty is the Best Policy

After nearly two weeks of suspense, Candidate Carter’s campaign web site was finally launched. Riddled with typographical and grammatical errors, “www.bobcarterdistrict5.com” provides a telltale testament of Candidate Carter’s credibility.

Mobilize the Internet

Candidate Carter campaign signs began sprouting up along Chisago county roadsides on 9/8/08 bearing the brief message, "Bob Carter Commissioner" followed by "www.bobcarterdistrict5.com."
Lured by the expectation of lofty campaign promises and endless personal accolades, a quick glimpse at the web site revealed all. A simple, three-line message read, "Vote For Bob Carter for Chisago County District 5 Commissioner. We are working hard to bring you an informative and complete website. Check back soon."

Mass Marketing

“Dump the Good Old Boys. Elect Bob Carter” was the message printed in bold, half inch letters on a private publication of the “South County Epitaph” recently distributed in the Rush City area. Why its author Jonathan Glassel, a District 3 Chisago County Commissioner candidate, would team up with District 5 candidate, Bob Carter, is unclear. What is clear is that Glassel suffered a major defeat in the District 3 primary election on 9/9/08 and will not appear on the general election ballot in November. Not only did Glassel finish last in a field of six District 3 primary candidates, he garnered only 5% of the vote (77 of 1496). Apparently Candidate Carter hitched his wagon to a falling star.
