Suppose Candidate Kane is a Democrat and he lives in a predominantly Democratic district. Not many people in the district know who he is and they aren’t generally highly educated on the issues. Which campaign strategy should he use?
  1. A party-centered strategy
  2. An issue-oriented strategy
  3. A candidate-oriented strategy
  4. A benchmark strategy
  5. A heavy-spending strategy
Explanation
Answer: A - Candidate Kane already has the party advantage, so he should use a party-centered strategy. He should make it obvious in all of his campaign literature, posters, etc. that he is a Democrat. He should let the party do all the work to get out the vote. Assuming there aren’t any other Democrats in the race that is all he probably needs to win.
