The election campaign which began on an early August holiday weekend is finally reaching its rocky summit this Monday – so, what additional boons have there been?

  • More opportunity for practicing those barbequing and slight of hand skills at public events
  • Adds an even greater sense of relief that such additional expenses are funded, no problem, by the public
  • More frequent flier points for candidates, staff, and media
  • The hot outdoor air competing in August and early September reverts control to the hot air from speeches 
  • Policy themes can be floated in warm weather, then given extra layers as the weather gets colder 
  • Starting in summer audiences are more anticipating large scale fictional entertainment with special effects
  • More occasions to show off multi-season wardrobes
  • Since media ads started months before, it was only a matter of making the deal official 
  • Advance planning skills evolving to changing priority planning skills are put to the test 
  • Nothing adds more to the foreground of a warm or lingering sunset than the imploring hues of candidate signs
