Sabb Elections 2009: Best of the Rest

So far I’ve only focused my full campaign analysis on the four presidential candidates. Of course, it’s important to remember that there are more positions that that, and in the other campaigns, there are some really good selling points.

I’m not necessarily backing these people (again and again, I tell you I’m neutral.)

A few picks, in no particular order:

“Dan the Man”: A great all around campaign, a little bit low key, meaning that I haven’t seen him running around the parade. The greatness of this campaign is in its strategy. “We deserve to see our exam papers.” He’s focused on one issue; it’s clear, it’s simple, and the fact that its is so focused means his message is direct and uncluttered. Very good.

“Pick Rick”: The best slogan in my opinion. “Pick Rick. He Cares” is all I’d need the Welfare person to do. Dressing up as Superman all day gets some points, too.

Captain Scarlett: Goes around dressed as Captain Scarlett. Easy to spot as well. Will the international and younger students get the reference?

Santa for Sport: Going for re-election and even using the same posters. There’s an old saying in politics that there are only four sentences that reall matter. One of them is “Let us finish the job.” Points for consistency, and using brand recognition techniques.
