Political Science 10

whether or not to make a run in the 2024 election. Based on the readings and our lectures, what strategy would you recommend? You should assume that your candidate's goal is to win the election (which entails winning both the party's nomination AND the general election), so you should keep this in mind as you devise your strategy.

Some questions your paper should address include:

1. What issues should your candidate prioritize and what positions should he or she take

on them?

2. Are there any groups the candidate should focus on mobilizing and getting to turn out

on Election Day?

3. What sort of advertising strategy would you recommend (i.e., positive or negative?

issue-oriented or personality-oriented) and why?

4. What will be your candidate’s strategy for media coverage?

5. What sorts of challenges might your candidate face and how would you suggest he or

she respond to them?

Your paper should be approximately three to four pages, typed and double-spaced, with size 12, Times New Roman font and 1 inch margins. You are not expected to do outside research.

Instead, your grade will be based on the extent to which you demonstrate that you have read and understood the readings and lecture material and that you have put some independent thought into developing a strategy and platform for your candidate. However, you still need to cite sources when appropriate. References and citations should be consistent with the American Political Science Association (APSA) Manual of Style
