In order to make changes to a campaign of my candidate running for the office of the attorney general to move forward. The campaign would engage in positive and cordial campaign strategy, the use of media, and social media. Voters tend to support candidates with positive campaign strategy because of the experience of positive emotions. Naturally, people relate more with people with positive attitude than those with negative attitude. People would watch a campaign advert that is about the need of the community than a campaign advert that is about disrespecting the opponent. In order to achieve this the campaign should engage the public on policy issues facing the community and treat the opponent with respect and honesty.
According to inquiriesjoural.com “a positive campaign is a campaign in which a candidate focuses primarily on relevant issues, their own views, their own experiences, and their own virtues, without attacking their opponent in an attempt to gain votes. It should be noted that, in contrast to positive campaigns, a negative campaign is one where a candidate uses attack ads and rhetoric to deliberately frame his opponent as foolish, inexperienced, irresponsible, disconnected, or evil as a means of presenting him or herself as a more desirable alternative

The criticism should be about the information collected not the candidate. The candidate should focus on issue that reflect the audience priorities. In the text book, political campaign and communication states that “voters’ responses to any campaign ad can be tempered by cynicism; after all, the candidates are unlikely to say anything bad about themselves or good about their opponent” (Powell and Larry, 2013 pg. 77). Thus, when the candidate ad engage in positive campaign strategy voter are more likely to listen to the ad because it is about their
For instance, this ad has the word “help” in it, and since many people in our society like to help people this ad would be quite persuasive.

The second biggest change in politics was the way candidates campaigned. Document D shows a democratic party ballot in 1828, which demonstrates the way state candidates from the governor to the coroner associated themselves with Andrew Jackson, and incredibly popular candidate, in the hope of winning their ...
It is very common among the United States’ political sphere to rely heavily on T.V. commercials during election season; this is after all the most effective way to spread a message to millions of voters in order to gain their support. The presidential election of 2008 was not the exception; candidates and interest groups spent 2.6 billion dollars on advertising that year from which 2 billion were used exclusively for broadcast television (Seelye 2008.) Although the effectiveness of these advertisements is relatively small compared to the money spent on them (Liasson 2012), it is important for American voters to think critically about the information and arguments presented by these ads. An analysis of the rhetoric in four of the political campaign commercials of the 2008 presidential election reveals the different informal fallacies utilized to gain support for one of the candidates or misguide the public about the opposing candidate.
Using Negative or Attack Ads involves saying bad things about your opponent. It's basically making voters scared about their future if the other candidate wins. The ad that was posted by former president George Bush was to influence voters to vote for him instead of his opponent. He put out an ad saying that his opponent was against our defense system and that worried our nation. This greatly limited his opponents chances of getting
The Article 'The Permanent Campaign'; takes a look at the way the American political system has evolved over the years. When George Washington was president he did not campaign any before he was put in office. When he was in office he only made a few public appearances and when he did he didn't speak a word. During Washington's era political campaigning was considered undignified.
A good advertisement always can leave a deep impression to the audience. It associates with the rhetorical skill to represent the meaning of advertisement. An advertisement I want to discuss is about domestic violence topic. (this advertisement from Amnesty International). It is a public service advertising. The purpose is hope three types of audiences can pay more attention to domestic violence and makes an effective use of pathos by appealing the sympathy of the audience. This is the most impressive ad I have ever seen.
After reading “The Betrayal of History”, I realized that a lot of things that I was taught as a kid about the history of the U.S. was manipulated. This article talked in earnest about how the history of this great country has been reduced, exaggerated and transformed to suit certain interest groups. It amazes me that the publishing companies are only interested in making money rather than print true historical happenings
Have you seen any of the recent campaign advertisements that have been published by the 2016 presidential candidates? Presidential candidates are known for campaigning through different media outlets, such as television advertisements, social media, and their party rallies. In these advertisements, the candidates bash their opponents and try to show you why you should vote for them, and why you should not vote for their opponent. Hillary Clinton’s advertisements have really stood out to me and have been able to grab my attention. Particularly the “Role Models” video, which displays young children watching Donald Trump make discriminatory and offensive comments on the television screen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign advertisement effectively gets
of a political campaign, to hit hardest at those who are in power or running
“Negative advertising gets the supporters committed and excited” (Bike 1). What Bike is trying to say is that negative advertisement gets people excited and wanting to look into that specific person. This essay is going to be about how negative advertisement should be allowed. People should have the right to pledge whatever they want to pledge in. “ A ban on negative political advertising would open the political world up to those who don’t want to be expose themselves to media bullies” (Admin 2). I believe that if people are scared to expose themselves then they must have something to hide. Even though negative things said about those candidates are not true, I believe that negative political advertisement should be allowed because negative advertisement makes people want to look more into that specific candidate and we are emotionally attached to negativity.
Running an election campaign is very strenuous and time consuming. In many ways it is a balancing act. One must deal with maintaining public visibility, appealing to the voters, developing a platform, kissing disgusting babies, and meeting as many people as possible. However, one of the most important and difficult parts of the job is raising money. Money is necessary for all parts of the campaign, and without it, a campaign can grind to a halt. In this paper I will attempt to explain how a candidate gets the money to campaign.
As we inform each other over the agendas of each candidate, we must explore which is committed to making this country into a better place, not only satisfy your own selfish reasons, which is considered a social responsibility. There so much that comes into factor, like what are the candidate’s thoughts, in the foreign policy, economic growth, health policy, etc. and it’s true that in politics, not everyone is going be pleased but we should try our best for our vote to be good cause and that could implement change many diverse laws we have today. Presidential elections should not be only big issue we have in the U.S, but local government elections play such big outcome in how everything is being in your state, like voting for the Governor that appeals to more to your ideals or that can fix the issues the state have been suffering through. Slowly I’ve started to see people involving themselves with more local government changes which is great, if we can change the power of state for the good then there’s high chances we will do for the whole country and for that to become a fact is for everyone to vote, stay informed with all issues and standings that each candidate wants to bring to the table, and be courteous of others and how your life and others can be affect by just a single
vote. When we vote it shows politicians that we take an active part in deciding who will be elected. When that happens
