How To Win the Presidency

Forget about Hilary,health care issues, her revised plan, raising taxes, lowering taxes(right?), Hispanic vote, thirteen foot ladders,candidates, republicans, democrats, elephant, donkey, snake, pig, mmmmmmm bacon.....liberal,progressive, conservative, socialist, Buddhist, Presbyterian, Mormon, reformist, Whig, I don't care what they are or who they represent, they are all after the same thing, your attention. They want to be the topic of conversation at neighborhood block parties in suburbia across the nation. The place of "business" is the number one place for politics to be discussed, and put into action, you know who you are, don't play dumb.
They want people to like them, convince the would be voter that they would be fun to hang with, you just need to get to know me and ultimately wants you to get out on election day and vote for them.......and get other people out voting too.
If they want to win then they need to create a portion of their platform that it's so mass appeal that if you don't get out to vote or "forget" to vote for this guy your neighbors will hate you and your father will call you a "lazy procrastinating ditch digger", again. The platform that would guarantee a 4 year gig running the country with an option for another term and a severance for life would be one based on "Summer Fridays" all year long. During the biggest stop on the stump or during a debate suggest a bill about "officially extending the weekends", how about a whole new, never done before, early release program, it can be called the "Thanksgiving Wed Program"(refereed to by the acronym, "TWP", for the remainder of this rant, not to be confused with "WMD"). The "TWP"would be designed to work both with leading corporations and business leaders in the US to Darren Weinstein, the owner of Bagelmasters in Shrewsbury, NJ, from the Fortune 500 to "coffee station Fanny" in the 7-11 by my house to make every Wed of the year "Thanksgiving Wed". People are let go from their job at 1pm every Wed! "1/2 a hump day" initiative. The voter support for any program like this would skyrocket! Volunteers coming out of the woodwork, "soft money" , wink, wink, nod, nod, would pour in, not that there is anything wrong with that. I don't care how they pay for your marketing and their election, if someone, anyone, can get someone else to "back" their "business plan", then more power to them, the more money you "raise", the more you spend! Who cares? If your successful in the end, it doesn't matter, ask Mayor Bloomberg.
If people with money, who, by the way, are successful for a reason, want to donate to a politician that they support then who cares. The donor, or angel investor, is investing in a person, a franchise, that he or she feels can make a difference with issue(s) they feel are perhaps flawed or outdated. Finally, someone living up to "put your money where your mouth is". The "TWP" would win the election, hands down, guaranteed.
So what if the pundit is laughed right off the stage when they propose this. An announcement like this would create a flurry, maybe blizzard, of press? That every late night show host would comment on it, Fox , Rush, O'Rielly, Imus,oops, sorry, even Randy Rhodes-Manzo on Air America would pick this up, why not, this idea is going to the Onion and the Nation, I'm sure they would run it.
My point is it doesn't matter if it's accepted as a serious platform or not, if it is,then great, let them run with it, let the other candidates take a position on it. If the people running for office can communicate to the general public, the working "Joe" or "Jo", that they know about " the man keeping them down" and they understand and give a shit. Politicians want to increase family values, what better way then to have the family together for dinner at least one night during the work week. Incentivize businesses that adapt the "TWP" with a cool tax break that is a sliding scale, the level of net rev would determine percent of tax benefit. Happier workers are more productive so over the long run a company would be more successful, with an impressive employee retention rate, increased profits and a greater tax benefit. This is a winner all around, Obama, The District Attorney from "Law and Order"or whomever gets elected based on this portion of their agenda, Americans are happier in the workplace, they get more time to do the things that they want to do and businesses thrive. I have to imagine that unemployment would be impacted positively. The potential for positive outcome on this issue is endless. I understand that I am a bit Utopian in my thought process, but what the hell, throw it out there Ron Burgandy and do with it what you like!
