Reply #7: Imagine you're running a campaign

[baldguy]

Your candidate has just traveled for two hour to get to an event where you're expecting 800-1200 people. Its set to take an hour, with your candidate speaking for 30-45 min, then have 20-25 min for questions & answers. With the limited time, you'd want the questions to hit the 3-4 major issues for your candidate with 2-3 for other issues.

Its reasonable to assume that in such a large group that several people will want to ask the some of the same questions, so the person selected by the campaign to ask the question should be able to do it clearly & quickly.

After an hour though, the whole road show has to be packed up & ready to move to the next event.



All campaign managers MANAGE the campaign. It shouldn't surprise anyone that they succeed sometimes.
