Need Campaign Advice to combat Repuke dirty tricks
A Democratic candidate in my area is running for office. He is very intelligent and very capable.
The repuke candidate is not a good match on qualifications but her campaign has a lot of cash. They are running one of those KKKarl Rove Polls to insinuate the dem is not qualified.
So they call the home of a democrat and they say...

"Hello, which candidate will you be voting for...D or R.

If you answer D then they say...

"Who do you think would be more qualified for the race...the person with X experience or Y experience..."...all done to insinuate the Dem is not qualified which is wrong.
...
When I told them I thought this was a Karl Rove inspired poll the woman got pissed at me and hung up....how quaint.

I called Dem headquarters and we are coming up with a strategy because other people are complaining about this poll as well.

I want him to fight it. I want to pull the same dirty trick on the repuke....The only reason that candidate is even being considered is because her spouse is a high ranking repuke fundraiser...

2. How about this?

Put up signs like "Vote for XXXXX. He won't annoy you with telemarketing calls".

on edit: Maybe more like "If you want to be annoyed by telemarketing calls, vote for YYYYYY(repub). If you want good govt, vote for XXXXX(dem)."
