First time politicians are often naive to the winning or losing ways of those political “experts” who make big promises and take big money. Too often unsuspecting candidates, who only want to serve the public, are preyed upon by the same hacks who for year after year overcharge ambitious pols and overestimate their own abilities.
The worst are those political predators who fight over the new blood.
Some of the “experts” have an uncanny knack for knowing just what to do and when to do it. Others have no sense of plain sight, much less a sixth sense.
There are others who offer “value packages” which include nothing more than a cheap website, a handful of rack cards, and a hundred signs for the low price of $2000+, which in reality, should have cost, oh about $1000 or less.
Then there are those losing candidates who now sell their political wisdom at exorbitant rates. They try to get their clients elected using the same failed techniques they used when they lost. But hey, it wasn’t their strategy and it surely wasn’t them…. It was the stupid voters!
So, who is good? Who knows how to win?
According to the Yellow Sheet, it is “Sean Noble and his team at DC-London. Noble won all three of his candidates in contested races this past primary. Paul Ulan and Primary Consultants came in second with two wins out of three races, while Constantine Querard’s 6-for-11 performance put him in third.”
