Crawford – Money, tactics will be heating up Mississippi politics

Money, tactics will be heating up Mississippi politics

Primary elections are only nine weeks away. Time for state politics to heat up.

For political junkies, candidates’ tactics will be all the rage. Yes, “tactics” not “strategies.” You see, there are four foundational strategies to successful politics that candidates follow:

1. Get ’em to like you.

2. Get ’em to want you.

3. Get ’em to not want the other guy.

4. Get ’em to vote for you.
