[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]should focus on their accomplishments, expertise, ideas and experiences. [/b]If you’re running for office you’re in a totally different financial & social position than the people you’re pandering to. My hometown is a place that is considered almost universally “symbol” of a certain way of life and political moment. I split my time between there and here now due to family obligations. It gets a very disproportionate amount of media attention relative to its size, and every president visits it. And you know what? It swings politically because residents of places like that & similar find the pandering humiliating, annoying and cringeworthy. [/quote] Actually from quotes from various places in Iowa it seems like they come to rely on the attention. Though agreed the pandering - “I’m [i]from[/i] Florida, but I’m not [i]from[/i]-from Florida” - is embarrassing. [/quote]
