AMMAN, JORDAN What a lagging candidate needs is a wild campaign stunt, says the consultant from Washington, so how about this: Round up some chickens. Let them loose in front of the political headquarters of Iraqs former prime minister, Ayad Allawi. Make sure the media know about it.
The message: Allawis a chicken for shunning a televised debate with the consultants candidate, Iraqs deputy prime minister, Saleh Mutlaq, in Wednesdays parliamentary election. We will call him a coward, declares Sam Patten, the puckish adviser to Mutlaq. Both Mutlaq and Allawi are among the hopefuls trying to dislodge eight-year incumbent Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
