AGENDA SETTING ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL
You have been selected to help a candidate in a high stakes political campaign. Your objective is to help your candidate win election to one of the most influential and highest profile elected offices in the country, the office of the President.
To accomplish this objective the Campaign Manager will be working closely with the campaign's Communication Department. Together, you are a talented group and bring many areas of expertise to the table. Your team already knows that political campaigns, particularly presidential campaigns, play a significant role in shaping the public discourse. Your goal is to shape this discourse to your candidates advantage. This will require that you carefully analyze domestic and foreign policy issues and select two that will become the centerpiece of your candidate's campaign. Ultimately, you want to muster public support for your candidate's agenda in the hopes of winning election to the office of President.
A political campaign may be compared to a boxing match. There are many contenders, and numerous rounds provide the contenders an opportunity to prove themselves. Punches are thrown and things can get ugly. Ultimately, one is left standing, one contender becomes champion, one candidate wins the office.
