As a forum of enlightened discussion of election campaigns is not where you are... sorry. For the rest we are using skills handout #1 and are bored...
Candidates answer every question with a question or a condescending agreement in some aspect of the person or position. It's what they do. Polls just bring out the very very best in the witty skill of opposite. If your candidate is up... they say they have to run like they are behind... if they are slipping in support they say they are regaining momentum... if they are way behind they say Polls are highly subjective snapshots of MRU students on free beer day...
The joke is called opposite but in this context it is more like Pole dancing. I will take the results of an imaginary Poll I dreamed up to demonstrate Pole Dancing and the Set-up is determined by the position they are in at the time of my fantasy...
Set up Ric4Mayor you are comfortably ahead, had an article in the Globe and Mail comparing you to other rugged fiscal renegades and you supported your local police department. Is the race over?
Punchline:Opposite... It's never over until we have let all potential voters know the consequences of supporting others...
Set up Barb4Mayor you are behind in the Polls, had to fire your Campaign Manager and gave up the chance to be a star attraction at the CTV 50th Anniversary. Can you recover?
Punchline:Opposite Recover? This is my 1st campaign and I expected to be 30 points behind just to get the tempo. I might have scared some people because it it the 1st time someone in recent Calgary politics a manager has been fired for cause.
Set up Nenshi4Mayor you are still trailing badly despite highly publicized coverage, superior social network connection and an uncanny resemblance to the guy on Big Bang Theory. Is there any hope?
Punchline:Opposite I would not be in the race if I didn't think I could maybe get lucky due to a technical glitch in the mainframe and SR 4300 election program software.
Set-Up Bob4Mayor the tunnel seems to be taking all of your campaign efforts... resources... and credibility. Do you know no one cares?
Punchline We all care... care so deeply it is the issue that will resonate this election with any voter who has ever waited in traffic... if you are waiting in traffic... frustrated and a little road ragey... think Bob4Mayor
The rest were doing so well... the opposite seems redundant...
