All Quiet on the Elections Front

Well, we are about to reach the end of week two of campaigning and things are certainly starting to calm down. If this were national or state politics, at this point I would be breaking down polling data about who leads and by what percent. But here in the land of student government campaigns, we don't have the luxury of polling data. Candidates are left to guess how well their campaigns are going and what they need to do to improve. It is very difficult to determine any of this because you are usually surrounded by your own supporters and friends who will always tell you that, "you are doing great and there is no way you could lose!" Luckily for the candidates, they have their friends here at nisgelections.com to help them out a bit.

You are making great strides in meeting with groups. Make sure in the upcoming week to increase your campus presence. Also, utilize your website more. The V-Logs were a good idea and people like that kind of stuff, so make sure to expand on that!. You will win the campaign on the grassroots level, keep talking to people and don't do a lot of sleeping.

Reed-Simonson

The additions to your platform have really been good for you. It certainly took your platform up a notch on the rating scale. Make sure in the upcoming week to increase your campus presence. Haven't seen any buttons, posters, shirts on campus. Do you have any? Make sure people know about you! Also your performance in the debate will make or break it for you! You will have to tread carefully in the debate as well. Do you attack the other candidates for weak spots on their platforms or do you simply highlight the strength of your own? Glad I don't have to make that call!

Spencer and Ian

Your promotion is going well. I heard from one person that "they seem to be everywhere." But, you are lagging behind the other campaigns in meeting with student groups and this could really hurt you. Those involved in student organizations are generally the voting population for NISG elections. Why? Generally because NISG controls their money. Perform well in the debate and it will help you. Perform poorly, and it won't be the end of the world, simply because people know you.

Best of Luck to all the candidates!
