Congressman Live! at The Hidden Leaf!!

High it's your favorite irreverent candidate for public office THE SPIRIT OF VIRGINIA! Wolf Alexander. 

This is how you write a campaing press release like a professional in 1948.

That was the best political campaign before #DonaldCHUMP won in 2016.

But for pure spirit Harry Truman kicked royal ass All By Himself. 

As I am going to do.

This is the opposite of a 1948 Whistle-Stop Campaign press release.

It's hard for me to make this legal much less suck up to puritan morals like those generations were good at. 

DON'T be LIKE that PLEASE.

1948 Press Release (seriously)

"It's October 31, nineteen forty-eight. Halloween night here for the National Broadcasting Company.

Harry Truman, the candidate Will Rogers would call Give'm Hell Harry, has less than a week to go to convince the American public that he isn't a lucky accident of history."

IT'S STILL NOT A PRESS RELEASE. It was however accurate.

Press release. From President Truman's chief advisor Clark Clifford AS I WOULD HAVE WRITTEN IT IF I WERE HE and wanted my boss to win which is a hard situation to have BECAUSE WHO THE FUCK WANTS A BOSS but that's getting off topic. Here I go. Harry Truman's campaign Press Release for October 31, 1948.

"President Truman wishes everyone a happy Halloween. Here at the White House the President and Mrs. Truman are hosting trick-or-treaters although most of them are not voting age.

[If Mr. Dewey wins] "the ghosts could win" was the President's remark. Ms. Truman greeted her father with a small scare as she was leaving dressed up for her party.

A statement from the President:

"In a few days many of you will cast a ballot. I have made my case to you during these months of debate with Mr. Dewey. I have spoken to you over the airwaves and to a lot of you from the caboose of my train. I hope you understand the difference in his version of straight talk and mine. 

You know what I'm for. You don't need to be reminded.

If I may take a moment of your time to say in the close of this campaign, that I want your vote. I want it for you, and not for me, and not for the special interests. When I leave office, whether next year or in four more years, Bess and I will go home to a quiet life in Missouri. This is my last opportunity to do the people's work. I must have your vote!

Abroad and at home, America's place is first, and it will always be first as long I as I am President."
