DISCUSSION: DOES BOCCIERI NEED TO TAKE A PAGE OUT OF THE McCAIN/PALIN PLAYBOOK?


The STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT (The Report) publishes the following two photos of the Boccieri family (from the latest Boccieri campaign literature) with one significant difference.

What is the difference?

The addition of "photo taken in Alliance, STARK COUNTY, Ohio" assuming that their Alliance home is the location of the photo. And, if this photoi is not, it should not have been published. Boccieri strategists need to insist that all family photos used in the campaign me taken at the Boccieri Alliance home.

As everyone knows, the Schuring campaign (in its early phase) made a super big deal about the issue of whether or not the Boccieri's actually lived in Stark County.

A corollary that Boccieri might borrow from in the claim of the McCain/Palin campaign that McCain & Palin that they are mavericks.

There is some question as to whether or not this duo is "really" a maverick combo. And the campaign must sense that the voting public is skeptical of its claim. So, the strategy?

Repeat ad nauseum the mere assertion that McCain/Palin are mavericks.

Mere assertion does work.

Not that The Report questions where the Boccieri campaign lives. But there are supporters of the Schuring campaign that continue to raise this issue.

Wouldn't it be an effective application the McCain/Palin strategy to the residency issue to slip-in where the Boccieri's live in all photos, articles, et cetera that pertain to the Boccieri family?
