    I offer the following services for candidates and prospective candidates running for public office, educational institutions, media outlets, political think tanks, and political organizations:

    My BA degree is in Political Science, and can be viewed here.

    I can easily see the strengths and the weaknesses of any political candidate with whom I am familiar.  I also know how to fairly and effectively use a candidate’s own weaknesses against them.  Here are two examples from the 2008 election:

    Hillary Clinton’s main message mistake was her claiming to be ready on day one and to take that 3:00 AM phone call while Barack Obama was not able to.  The problem with this line of attack is that it is a subjective opinion which different people can interpret differently.  Those who saw a lack of experience in Obama would more than likely agree with Hillary while those who were upset with Hillary’s 2002 Iraq war vote and who liked Obama’s speeches on the issues would more than likely think that Obama’s judgment was better than Hillary’s.

    What Hillary’s main message should have been was to directly quote Obama’s inconsistencies, his gaffes, and his broken promises by bringing up the specific issues that I mentioned in this post in her campaign ads and in the primary debates:

    ANALYSIS: The tough BUT fair questions I have NOT heard Barack Obama answer yet!

    It is much easier to prove a point in your message by directly quoting any inconsistencies, gaffes, and broken promises that your opponent is truly guilty of and then pressuring that person to give a reasonable answer for what they publicly said (when more than likely there is no reasonable answer) as opposed to making subjective claims about yourself and your opponent which will always be open to various interpretations.

    Here is the post of my objective, detailed, and credibly documented analysis of the 2008 Presidential election explaining why John McCain lost and what he could have done to run a better campaign:

    ANALYSIS: Why John McCain lost the 2008 election and how he may have done better

    People in middle America who mainly decide close elections would have listened much closer to John McCain running ads quoting Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden all saying that Obama was not ready to be President yet within the last few months to try and define Obama as not being an acceptable alternative to McCain as opposed to the McCain campaign using ridiculous bumper sticker slogans like “socialism” and “palling around with terrorists” when people were hurting economically and when they were very angry with President Bush.

    I am also a serious media critic and an honest broker of information who can easily see through any kind of spin.  I always call things how I really see them objectively and right down the middle regardless of who it is on either side just like how an honest referee or umpire would do:

    Keith Olbermann and many others in the media CANNOT complain about Obama now!

    Along with being able to see what is wrong in the media, I can also see what is right with the media.  I can explain why a journalist is truly credible and show when they are objectively reporting the news as opposed to when they are reporting their own personal and partisan opinions about the news:

    Recent examples of my research, analysis, and rapid response work that I have done for a serious campaign are available upon request.

    So if you are looking for serious political analysis, political research, rapid response, opposition research, objective media criticism, writing, blogging, or any other political services, then please feel free to contact me and I will be glad to talk with you.

    Sincerely,

    Mitch Dworkin, M.Ed.
