I really have a hard time seeing Omaha Steve actually doing the WORK to get elected.
Have no money? Start going door to door. I would have started last summer and hit ever house in the district by now. Talking to people does a lot for a campaign.
But his history of disability scams has me thinking that he sees a campaign as an easy street, where the reporters and votes come to you.
BUT. WE. CAN. HELP!
Steve, if you are reading this, you have an incumbant to deal with. likely one well liked and financed.
This is all new to you, so here's a bit of advice...
1) Hit the streets. Door to door. Its now your weekend hobby. from now till the election.
2) You KNOW that we will reveal your embrace of socialism. Do some damage control, nueter the attacks and come out to the paper and just say that you are a socialist, that private business is evil, and you don't want their money.
3) Get the local occupy people to give you an audience. If you get them on your side, you can win voters hearts by blocking major streets during rush hour, denoucing the police, and burning flags.
---think of all the free publicity! You. Will. WIN!
4) Invoke race: You know this wins votes. A little white guilt always helps.
A) Demand a corporate income tax to pay the indian's rent for taking their land.
B) Denounce the local Lion's and Elks clubs as racist engines of hate and secret KKK recruiting centers.
C) Demand the local golf course have a dollar day so minorities can play in an all-white sanctuary. Demand free lessons
5) Note which local businesses the city will be taking over to protect the public. I suggest all fast food and all banks. The city must nationalize them, and put Occupiers in charge (hey who couldn't trust a college grad at the helm?).
6) give notice to the city's one percent they their days are numbered and a warm jail cell awaits them. Name the ones you will send the cops after. After all, you will be on the city council...you can order the cops around with a mere phone call.
7) If the Occupy people won't help you, Block the streets yourself. You are a one man occupation!
Call the media and let them film you standing in from of a delivery truck. Stick it too the man! This has worked so well for the OWS. Go ahead. Poop on the steps of City Hall. Camp in a park, even if its all by yourself!
8) go for the fag vote. dress in drag. March on city hall, shouting I'm queer, I'm here and I won't go away!
9) announce that you are bearing Cindy Sheehan's love child.
10) When you do get to give a speech wear a tie, and in the middle, shout, "Stop it Frank! I know you are stalking me!" If a reporter asked you who is Frank, grab him by the collar and accuse, "Are you Frank? I know you are! Stop questioning me you CIA spook!"
Ok there are 10 of my suggestions. I'll be back with more. Feel free to add a few of your own...
