Title: Running for office...
Post by: Mr. Kennedy on May 14, 2001, 02:45:02 AM
I need some help.  I signed up to run for treasurer, and I have a tough opponent.  I soooo badly want to be treasurer next year, could you guys think up some lines that would sway votes my way.  Or perhaps, if you have any tips post them here.

"If you make me treasurer I promise I won\'t take all the money and goto the bahamas to live like a king" j/k

"Responsibility is the key to being a treasurer, and those of you who know me, know that I am the best, most responsible person for the job.

Is this for like, student council or something?  What I\'ve learned in these elections is it isn\'t who is better, it\'s simply who has the most name recognition.  Don\'t laugh, but people at my old school used to win elections just by giving out candy and gum and stuff between the buildings.  When it came time to vote, you didnt\' know who three of the peep were, but you remembered the guy for his gum...  Make sure that everyone who votes in the election knows your name at the least, if you can\'t make it synonymous with "responsibility" or something in time, it\'s more important to just be well known.

I was going to be president of my school...but I forgot to turn in this stupid sheet with my Counselor and Admin\'s sig on it. I was SOOO pissed. But I was still prez. of Stu Co.

Fact is Billy - if you arent popular with at least one group of people, good luck.

billy, you gotta be popular, but you need to come up with a slogan or an object so everyone remembers you. Like "voting for Billy is good, he\'ll give you wood" and then take a bunch of sticks to school and give them to the freshman. Those little chatterboxes are the key to winning. Trust me, I\'ve done this before.

Oh f*ck, when I saw this I almost fell off the chair! :laughing:

"Vote for Billy G. if you want a trustworthy, responsible, treasurer, who will give you lots and lots of wood."

:laughing:

Wait wait, I just thought of one. How about:

"Vote for me, and I\'ll let you see my peepee!"

Well?

How about...

"I am billly....hear me roar"

hehehe

nah, you gotta get well known (i\'ve done this whole deal before), and on top of that you need BAD PUNS to get you that position, like

"Vote for me, I will treasure the position"

hehe, it\'s so bad it\'ll get you votes
how about

"I will dance for votes"

something witty... that\'s where it is. Witty slogans, but when it comes speech time, get down to business and be serious. A combination of serious and funny is JUST what people will vote for.
