Political Campaigning (Thursday, April 27, 4th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh had brought coffee and pizza for the class. The walls were decorated with campaign posters for the three candidates and a phone in the corner was rigged to ring every two minutes.

Add it to the huge, practically sentient pile of papers on Josh's desk and it looked very much like a campaign office.

"Okay, guys," he said, smiling. "Today you get to show me if I've managed to teach you anything at all about campaigning." He sat down in his chair. "Grab some pizza and coffee and demonstrate how your guy is going to be the Senator from Montana come November."

There are charts, there are graphs, and there are photos, and photoshopped images. Some of them of Montgomery Burns. With rap stars. And Chris LeDoux. And llamas.

"Jake's up first. But frankly, we think our candidate is a lock."

Re: Morrison group

In spite of not working with Liz and Logan anymore, Angel had still done two campaigns for his part of the Morrison presentation.

One covered the way he would do it if he was in charge, complete with strategic use of negative campaigning, use of fear, and subtle attacks on the other candidates.

The other he'd done, without being asked, for Rory. It was a campaign that stuck only with the positive.

Angel didn't really think the second one would work, but he wanted to do it for Rory anyway.

Elizabeth's all set to do the presentation, with or without Logan. Her laptop's hooked up to a projector and the Power-Point is ready to run once she's handed out a brief summary of the presentation and the stickers with "Vote Tester!" on them.

Commenting on presentations

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Or eating pizza or spazzing out about your potential grades. Josh is good with all of it.

Oooh, coffee and pizza. Elizabeth chose to concentrate on the food and not grades.

After class--say goodbye to Josh

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"It has been an absolute pleasure teaching all of you," Josh said. "Good luck in whatever it is you're doing--either this summer or out in the real world for you seniors. And if you ever think that a call from a former senior staffer from the White House might get you out of a jam--pick up that phone and call me, all right?"

Re: After class--say goodbye to Josh

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Yep, there Angel was. Hanging out after class again. In hindsight the appearance of a crush on Josh should not have come so out of left field.

Alanna also hovered after class. Faithful had curled up for a nap in her bag by then.

Re: After class--say goodbye to Josh

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker waited 'til after Alanna was gone, then said, "Hey, Professor Lyman. Thanks for a great class. You've convinced me I would end up dead in politics. Possibly literally, from the stress and ulcer issues."
