In Your Face Campaigning
Filed Under Barack Obama, Election 2008
Get ready for a new form of political campaign this fall — a street-level, in-your-face confrontation from neighbors and others who want to convert the non-believers.
Barack Obama: I want you to argue with them and get into their face.
Sounds appealing, doesn’t it?
Says Barack Obama: ”I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face.”
Arguments and face-to-face confrontations — I’m not sure that is the key to winning over new supporters. Maybe a softer approach will do wonders for getting people involved and convincing them to change their positions? We’ve had too many years of people yelling, bumper stickers filled with hate and other examples of our baser side on display in an attempt to win over converts.
What we need in politics is less in-your-face bitter partisan battles and more common sense from both sides. What about a little more love? How about a hug, instead of an argument?
I’m willing to listen to most anyone’s viewpoint and might even be persuaded, as long as you are not going to yell and get into my face.

Chris,
Barack is starting to sound like a hard-line Baptist, and in my book that’s a bad thing.
Door to door, in your face, my way or the highway, fundamentalist and all that matters is winning.
Hey Barack … time to put your efforts on hold till January. You’ll have the chance to take badger and cajole and back-stab then. I wouldn’t recommend wasting any more of your supporters’ money on this campaign.

Hi Steve,
Do you think Barack isn’t able to win, that’s why you’re suggesting that he put his efforts on hold until Jan. Or, do you think he’ll turn off voters if he uses a style of campaigning that reminds people of fundamentalist religions?
Chris, I have been trying to get a hold of you and every contact that I have for you is out of date. Can you send me a email? I’m good at QRZ.
Thanks,
