Political Heat Wave in Arizona

Ben Quayle on the Campaign Trail
Political Heat Wave

Political Heat Wave
            Campaign strategies are essential to running a successful campaign, how you interact with voters and portray yourself and your opponents can make or break your campaign. And even more important is how you get the voters to see you. Whether they align with you based on the issues, your personal character and how you make them view your opponents and their party.

Recently during a political ad, Ben Quayle called President Obama “the worst president ever.” And also stated that Washington need someone who would “knock the hell” out the place. These comments raise eyebrows in the Republican Party, especially those who don’t really agree with the Tea Party Movement and don’t really know how the victories for some tea party candidates will affect the Republican Party nationwide. Attacking the President will always draw controversy no matter what side you are on. You can check out Ben Quayle and his response to his statements at AZCentral. But even given this Quayle is still ahead in the polls. But by attack the President, the face of the Democratic Party, he sends a message that we can’t allow the Democrats any more leeway because they are making things worse, we can’t give them anymore power in Washington and make. He is challenging his opponent and his voting record. Quayle knows Hulburd’s alignment with Barack Obama in a majority Republican district will be hazardous to Hulburd campaign.

Jon Hulbard on the other hand is using a debate over debates method to challenge Ben Quayle. A debate over debates is what happens when an underdog in a political race challenges the front-runner to a series of debates. The front runner doesn't immediately respond to the request because, what's the point? The candidate is already in the lead so why risk a messup? And Hulburd is milking Quayle's silence for all it's worth, asking why he doesn’t want to debate? What does he have to hide? Since congressional Democrats are in danger of being swept out of office nationwide due lost faith in the Obama Administration and Democrats as a whole Hulbard will need all the tricks he can muster to stay alive in this race

  1. While Quayle is certainly going out on a limb in order to appeal to the right, I think he may be a little too over the top. Hurlburd is clearly the better candidate, and Quayle needs to start taking things more seriously if he actually expects to have a chance in this election.
