1) Negative Campaigning - twisting facts to make the other guy look bad. GOTV - Motivating people to get off their asses and go vote. Incumbent - If a democrat, the guy in the seat that must be defended at all cost. If a republican, the idiot that has to go.
2) It's the war stupid!
3) Pizza and soda of course. Protein and caffiene is all you need.
