A political campaign can be an exhilarating experience. A lot will happen between now and Election Day, and with some foresight and planning, you can be prepared for all the twists and turns, and in many cases, control the situation.

This guide is designed to help you anticipate what will happen and be better prepared. While the current political landscape is an important factor in any campaign, in many cases, the most crucial element - the difference between winning and losing - is what happens inside the campaign.

Although every campaign is unique, some basic principles can be applied to any election campaign. Our guide will help you apply these basic principles to your campaign.

The basics of any election campaign are deceptively simple. All campaigns must repeatedly communicate a persuasive message to the voting public.

This is "the golden rule" of politics. A political campaign is a communication process - find the right message, target that message to the right group of voters, and repeat that message again and again.

Unfortunately, the planning process is much more complex than following one rule. There is much more that goes into the process.
