Can anyone give me a few examples of opinion leaders that were involved with the presidential campaign?

I have never kept up with the news and I don't know much about the whole campaign thing. I dont understand what an opinion leader is. I have looked it up online but there arent many examples that explain it in depth. I have a question for school that says to identify some of the opinion leaders in the presidential campaign last year. Do you think they are effective in swaying voters on way or another? Any info will be helpful! Thanks!Can anyone give me a few examples of opinion leaders that were involved with the presidential campaign?
The most popular influential people within their respective parties. Also the talking heads who provide the opinion polls.Can anyone give me a few examples of opinion leaders that were involved with the presidential campaign?
Check out Nancy Grace.


The lady has an opinion on everything.


Like, if she saw someone flip their hair the wrong way she could probably give a 2 hour sermon on how to do it right.


She's annoying.


I'm sure she put more than her 2 cents in on the election.


As for an opinion leader.. I'm not sure what that is so maybe this helps maybe it doesn't.


Just saying, Nancy Grace.

If Palin is willing to mislead people during her campaign what is she capable of if she ends up as president?

It is the most discouraging thing to watch a potential leader spout out half truths on a mission to destroy the other candidate. I am beginning to feel embarrassed about my country and very apathetic about our future. Don't these politions have any integrity at all?If Palin is willing to mislead people during her campaign what is she capable of if she ends up as president?
What is even more appalling are those who support this type of politician. She is despicable.If Palin is willing to mislead people during her campaign what is she capable of if she ends up as president?
You should be asking Obama about his integrity(more like lack there of), all of the half truths and exaggerations he's made about his ';accomplishments'; throughout his political career. He likes to brag about how he was a community organizer in Chicago before becoming elected to the State Senate, but neither Obama himself or any of his supporters can give one example of something that he accomplished while a community organizer. If there is a liar in this campaign, its not Governor Palin.
mislead?

Hey, you sound like me, all cynical and distrustful. Welcome to the club! It's growing by leaps and bounds each and every day.





Sorry to say, but just about every politician is purposefully misleading. This includes Obama, Biden, McCain, and Palin. They will say whatever has to be said to be elected, and, once in office, sell themselves to the lobbyists and political action committees--whoever shovels the most cash their way. The voters are either neglected or thrown the occasional crumbs. That is, until the next election. Then, it's misinformation time again. Yee-haw!
Are you kidding, that's how she has gotten where she is. That's how this intellectually shallow but personality wise calculating piece of joke always will be. Just read this letter written by one of her home town acquaintances and you will see what I am talking about.


The sad thing for her is, because she is so shallow and small minded, she assumes that every one in the U.S is the same way as she.








Buttercup,


you just convinced me that you have no life and is a pathetic piece of joke, too.





You look at other female governors - Janet Napolotano(AZ), Jodi Rell(CT), Katheleen Sebelius( Kansas), you see true leadership, political intelligence and vision, and most of all, sense of dignity and decency. And you look at this woman Sarah Palin, and you know that we need a BIG CHANGE.
I hate them both and don't trust neither candidate! I've had so much sunshine shoved up my @ss that I'm starting to look like a star! Republicans care only for the rich and Democrats care only for special interests! Why can't we get a candidate who really cares for the elderly and children and workers and people who are trying to run a legitimate business! One who cares about the environment and shows it and is realistic! One who won't expect to strike it rich in the white house! One who can take care of foreign affairs and not make americans look like nit-wits! Please don't tell me you belong to a party! If you do then I'll think your an @ss too! That goes for all party's!

Wow....talk about misleadings. Watch Fox channel now and you'll see the truth about Obama's misleadings. Why won't he reveal his


birth certificate? Perhaps he wasn't really born in Hawaii, which


would deem him ineligible to run for President of the U.S. (I think


there will be a lawsuit making him reveal it). If that's a lie, let him


show the certificate putting it to rest. Learn about his association


with ';Acorn';. You'll be hearing more and more about this too.


Columbia and Harvard Universities will not release his school


information. Makes you wonder why? If he was an upright and


outstanding student, they'd be happy to have you know it, I bet.
What about Obama? I mean seriously EVERY person running for ANY position in the goverment misleads people in some light or ARE not able to uphold what they hoped to do.





Not everything is dilberate.





Personally I would like Obama to define exactly what he means by America needs CHANGE. What change is he referring too? Not this crap of lowering taxes and so forth. I mean come on what person running to be presdient hasn't said that?





NOT to mention there is no proof he was even born in the US which makes him not elligable to run for office but then you have all his supporters who say wow he is black, isn't he so handsome and so wonderful he wants change.
I feel sorry for her. McCain dumped his wife to marry a rich woman. Now he is piggybacking on another woman and she only says what he tells her to while he hides behind her. He is just a successful pimp and she is being pimped by him. It's lurid and dirty and she'll have no reputation left after he dumps her when this is over. It's just sad.
Spin has become an integral part of political campaigning.


It is only a minority of voters who recognize that there is a disconnect if they previously support the speaker. It only matters when they are called out on it and have to retract before the election, in some significant situation.





With the VP candidates debate over, she is almost home free.
Well, Palin already thinks that the Constitution gives her wide powers as VP, just like Cheney.





Nobody else thinks that's the case, but she's bound to start causing problems right away.





You're just getting rid of 2 loose cannons now - I don't see why you want to elect another one.
The same thing that every President has done for at least 50 years now.





The system is done, lies are par for the course. They will remain so until the system is reset--which means we either have a Revolution or Jesus or Mohammed (whichever you believe) comes back, whichever comes first.
Obama has been spouting for a long time, he is the one who began the negative campaigning. It is time for the tables to be turned.





It would be nice to know what half truths you are talking about though. I enjoy researching.
Well said. The bubba vote is easily swayed. I'm not sure WHY either they are the scariest ppl in the world and YOU NEVER WOULD WANT THEM TO WATCH YOUR BACK or THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH OF THE SAME DNA IS THEIR POOL.
You see it, I see it, but pablum brained nazis just don't get it. We should move to Canada and let America have their Sarah....





Not.
She is capable of doing anything but hopefully she will never end up as President.
She'll just lie like Bush did, she is already ignoring subpeonas like Bush did
I didn't even think people were paying her any attention. It's sad if people are listening to her.
YOU KNOW, a man will tell a woman ANYTHING to get her into bed.... and then once he's gotten what he wants, he's gone.


kind of the same thing here.
Another Cheney where we have bullet proof evidence of WMD in Iraq.
It gives me nightmares!
the Apocalypse
Oh don't worry, it's ';God's Plan';.





If McBush is elected we are going to be worse off than we are now.
She is a proven liar. We don't need anymore liars in our government.






she caught Biden in a lie like nine times during the debate.
What misleading statements has she made?
They're all like that.
she would be VP but i see what you are getting at

How to write a persuasive piece on why someone should vote for obama, im doing a campaign for college student?

This is worth 300 points and i need too persuade my classmates too vote for obamaHow to write a persuasive piece on why someone should vote for obama, im doing a campaign for college student?
On the most important national security question since the Cold War, Obama is the only candidate who opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning. This judgment was not about speeches, it was about whether or not the United States of America would go to war in Iraq . Because we did, we took our eye off al Qaeda; we have lost thousands of lives and spent hundreds of billions of dollars; our military is overstretched; and our security and standing have been set back. That is why Obama will end the war in Iraq , focus on finishing the job in Afghanistan , renew American diplomacy and rebuild our military, and keep our sacred trust to care for those who serve.





Obama will fight for the middle class as President. He will pass universal health care by the end of his first term, saving the typical family up to $2500 a year. He鈥檚 the only candidate to propose a middle-class tax cut that will provide relief to 95% of working Americans 鈥?$1,000 per working family. He鈥檒l also eliminate income taxes for any senior making less than $50,000.





Obama has a job creation agenda that will create millions of new jobs and do it in a way that鈥檚 fiscally responsible. Obama will stop giving tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas and start giving them to companies that create jobs here at home. He鈥檚 proposed a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank that will invest $60 billion over ten years, and generate nearly two million new jobs 鈥?many of them in the construction industry that鈥檚 been hard hit by the housing crisis we鈥檙e facing. Obama will also put $150 billion over ten years into establishing a green energy sector that will create up to five million new jobs 鈥?and those are jobs that pay well and can鈥檛 be outsourced.





Obama has been fighting for working families for over two decades. As a community organizer, he helped provide job training for the jobless after the local steel plants closed; as a state Senator, he helped put $100 million in tax breaks into the pockets of working families and brought Democrats and Republicans together to expand health care for 150,000 children and parents. And that鈥檚 how you can trust that he鈥檒l fight for the middle class as President.How to write a persuasive piece on why someone should vote for obama, im doing a campaign for college student?
My focus would be on how an Obama Presidency would force America to have an overdue conversation about race in this country, and that the world would definitely look at us differently if we didn't have another 60-something rich white person running things.
drink the kool-aid





pull the lever





pay your taxes
That would be a hard project to do, especially now that his true self has come to light. Good Luck with that.
why dont you read up on him, jeeessshhhhhh.


this is whats wrong withe people that are voting for him, most know nothing about him.


so why dont you do your own homework so you know who the man is.
You have a really hard job. i guess,If i had that assignment. I would go with a fictional writing or lie a lot. You have nothing reliable and true to use. Go with fiction.
Go to his website. Its beautiful and well written.

  • Obumma is destroying USA's economy by asking for campaign cash multiple times! Is Obumma a patriot or pinhead?

    Scandal! Have you noticed how he asks for campaign donations over %26amp; over %26amp; over again? He's trying to make Americans poor. Obumma's trying to destroy the very foundations of the great country of USA by every means. Finally all his tricks are catching up with him %26amp; voters are getting wiser.Obumma is destroying USA's economy by asking for campaign cash multiple times! Is Obumma a patriot or pinhead?
    What a silly question this is. You honestly cannot be serious. Last I checked isn't McCain trying to get money for his campaign too? What the heck is the difference? Your candidate and the rep. party is and has made a lot of us poor. Gimme a break!Obumma is destroying USA's economy by asking for campaign cash multiple times! Is Obumma a patriot or pinhead?
    Patriot is an insult and by calling him a pinhead, you are being too kind. The man is nothing more than a flip-flop you buy at Walmart and that is being generous
    I can't say without a doubt he's a 100 percent pinhead because there are some views he has that are debatable and without question, however I wouldn't go so far to label him a patriot either. 50-50...
    You're an idiot. Donations are voluntary - meaning that you send him money because you wanted to, not because he wants to bankrupt you.
    WOW so you are saying MOST of America is FOR Obama





    they would have to be in order for him to ruin the economy like that-LOL
    What are you talking about? Donations are voluntary expenditures.
    Well, this one's easy--he's a pinhead
    So does every other candidate. What planet do you live on? And no, it doesn't damage the economy.
    how old are you ? 12 or 13 ?

    What kind of campaign would it take to make you want to buy a Halmark greeting card?

    I make all of my greeting cards at CropMom at http://www.cropmom.com because I like to use my own photos in greeting cards, add my own text and use CropMom's graphics. Then I buy the print-quality JPEG file of my card and print it at home or have it printed at Snapfish or Shutterfly. So unless Hallmark buys CropMom, no campaign is going to make me want to buy a Hallmark greeting card.What kind of campaign would it take to make you want to buy a Halmark greeting card?
    personally i buy cards for reasons : birthdays, christmas, etc, and not because an advert or a campaign tells me to. I dont care where i get the card from,

    Do you think that we can compare the Clinton campaign in Texas to the battle of The Alamo?

    Yes. It can also be compared to the Battle at Waterloo right before Napoleon's defeat.Do you think that we can compare the Clinton campaign in Texas to the battle of The Alamo?
    More like the Texas Chainsaw massacre.....!Do you think that we can compare the Clinton campaign in Texas to the battle of The Alamo?
    Yes you ca. Hillary is defending the Alamo from the Obama hoards bent on taking over Texas and the United States.
    No, but it would be interesting if someone brought a gun to their battle.
    Maybe she should make her final campaign stop on March 4 within sight of the Alamo
    No... the Texans lost at the Alamo and they regrouped at San Jacinto. Hillary has lost more delegates than she can recoup... the Alamo was not a miracle, it was a massacre.





    If she is likening her Texas campaign to the Alamo then she should read a history book... unless she is saying that she is on Mexico's side (and I doubt she meant that).
    yes,


    thats a very good analogy
    Yes, because once again, the mexicans will defeat her.
    If you mean the part where they all die then yes.





    I prefer to think of it more like....a bunch of cute little butterflies picking their ambassador of love...and then this big McCain bird comes along and rips their wings off and makes them eat their own excrement. A sign perhaps of what I have in mind in our wonderful American future!

    Why is it OK for Hillary to play the race card and gender card throughout her campaign?

    Why doesn't she get raked over the coals like Obama gets raked over them even when he is not the orator of the statements?Why is it OK for Hillary to play the race card and gender card throughout her campaign?
    This race/gender card thing has gotten old. We republicans are just going to our ';ACE'; and play the Hero Card, it trumps all others.Why is it OK for Hillary to play the race card and gender card throughout her campaign?
    Hillary knows if she can just get into office she can do the job much better than what McCain will do to the working people %26amp; she is grabbing for everything she can hoping something works. I think Obama is not as fearful as Hillary %26amp; lets alot of stuff just slide. I saw something that showed the picture of the day he was not putting his hand over his heart %26amp; it told what was really going on %26amp; the National Anthem was playing they weren't saying the pledge %26amp; their are many pictures of him with his hand over his heart. So people are going to bully him cause he ignores them. He understand energy. The more we put energy in something the better whether it is good or bad comments he knows it is all good for his changes.
    She totally is.. Barak cant even say the word black because people will immediately accuse him of pulling the race card. The media is doing so also by constantly bringing up the black vote like in his NC victory. I guess if Hillary wins in Virginia that is because of the white vote?
    C'mon Chi... In fairness to Hillary, she has been raked over the coals many times before Super Tuesday on many issues including race. I don't know why you even bother posting questions on her when you and I both know that she is not going to win the nomination. Obama is already in GE mode now.
    I have to tell you. If I hear ';misogyny'; one more time Im going to go mental.





    What dont Hillary supporters get about the fact that some people strongly disagree with her politics? It has nothing to do with her gender. Crying wolf like that is only making it worse for the next female candidate. Why dont they get that?
    She knows she is just another status quo politician and has nothing else, but the same old same old to offer, so she resorts to these tactics. She'll do less smearing though as it's becoming obvious that she's only shooting herself in the foot if she remains in a dirty game.
    She has not said what Obama has said about his allegiance.What race card has she played that Obama hasn't already played.
    Because she'll hit you with her purse.
