Campaign Strategy Check: Dianne Feinstein & Hillary Clinton In LIVE Strategy Warfare Battle With Radio Reporter

ZD Campaign Strategy Check:
From San Fran Chronicle

[My comments in brackets]

Dick Helton, senior political reporter for Los Angeles-based KNX radio, asked Clinton whether she was concerned about the marital troubles of another key backer, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

"Dick Helton, this is Dianne Feinstein. I'm surprised at you for that question! My goodness,'' the senior California senator fumed, "Hillary's running for president. She doesn't need to get into this!'"

[OOPS...you may have avoided answering the question, but the people won't be upset with the reporter for aksing, they will associate the negative attribute in their mind to the person who didn't feel their response would have put the reporter in his place.

It's a manipulation/diversionary tactic using "criticism" to go on the attack when the discussion isn't going your way. The advesary switches it to something personally wrong with your behavior, as in, "I'm surprised at you for that question! My goodness, Hillary's running for president. She doesn't need to get into this!"

Meanwhile, the only way you can truly neutralize the question is to say something like, "No, I am not concerned about that issue as it relates to his work, on the job. Of course it isn't an easy process for Antonio to go through, but the mayor has tremendous energy, as an executive -- and a great team that he has assembled around him, and that's why we are working together.]


Helton answered that "with all due respect,'' the issue was significant to many voters.

"I echo my friend Dianne's comments,'' Clinton said.

Clinton then expressed her support for the mayor of the country's second-largest city who is serving as one of her four national campaign co-chairs. [Does Clinton only have FOUR campain co-chairs? I thought it was a laundry list. That SF Mayor Newsome will most likey be added to, any minute.]

Clinton said, "... I will continue to welcome his support.'' [How does someone not welcome support? Is there a chance she would come out and publicly "denounce" support? That would be hilarious. "Good evening America, I would just like everyone to know that I no longer welcome Antonio's support, and please vote for Barack Obama."]

...Feinstein said, adding Clinton will "reverse the politicization of the justice department, and nominate mainstream Supreme Court justices.'' [Reverse the politicization??? How about "eliminate" the policicization? I don't want "ANY" politicization, on either side (and if you are "reversing" you are "sides").]

In California, which will hold its early presidential primary on Feb. 5, Clinton also has the official support of Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez of Los Angeles. [I HOPE SHE HAS HIS SUPPORT, HE IS ONE OF THE MYRIAD OF CAMPAIGN CO-CHAIRS!!! I HOPE HE DOESN'T SUPPORT OBAMA??? HOW COME THE SF CHRONICle doesn't mention his position in her campaign?]

Clinton, in the next month, is also expected to announce the official endorsement of another key mayor, San Francisco's Gavin Newsome. [Look for laundry list to include one more co-chair.]

So these are some of the traps and pitfall you can avoid when implement Robbin's NAC, Bandler/Grindler's NLP, Ericksonian "Pattern" practictioning and Ries & Trout "Strategy" into your propoganda spin! It's fun and can prevent you from losing your election because you are installing negative embedded commands into the minds of your current supporters and a preventing yourself from picking up undecided future supporters.

STRATEGY...FOCUS...MORE EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATION YOUR MESSAGE THROUGH CONGRUENT WORDING/LINGUISTICS (AND TONALITY IN HILLARY'S CASE)!!!
