Getting Political Support

The text below is for the first part of this podcast.

Helen: Okay, your schedule today is very busy. First, you’re meeting with a group of constituents concerned about the environment. Then, you’re speaking to a group of factory workers. At noon, you’ll be having lunch with a group of high-power donors. 

Mikhail: When I signed on as a candidate, I had no idea I’d have to pander to every group out there to gain their support.

Helen: Don’t think of it as pandering. Think of it as rallying the troops. People in this state need a leader and you’re their great white hope.
