(115) Meg for Mayor: Low-Budget Political Strategy

In my Other Life That I Never Mention in this Blog, I spend my days working for a certain do-gooder cause. Much of the job is centered around motivating the apathetic public and Decision Makers to give a damn. It's an uphill struggle, and my profession sometimes seems like a bunch of people working as amateur publicists who all have degrees in other things (e.g., civil engineering).

Unfortunately we're much too professional to pull the kind of crazy stunts Meg employs for cheap publicity. It sure is tempting sometimes.

Candidates for local elective office, especially those without the support of R or D, must find DIY publicity a lonely road to walk down.
