Intro 2300

With the Presidential Election just around the corner, politics are consuming the news. Candidates are constantly bashing each other, and using everything and anything they can to gain political leverage against their opponent. We see this bashing in interviews, debates, and commercials. Lately, I have been watching the commercials which have been launched by a variety of interest groups and "527" groups. Because I am majoring in public relations I am constantly thinking about the pr aspect in relation to the presidential elections. On the news we do not see the candidates public relations representatives trying to combat the negative press, but I know that they representatives are hard at work. I personally have no idea how they have not had a nervous break down or a heart attack. They are working for a "business" which survives and progresses through combating and attacking the opposition. They must spend hours and hours researching, writing scripts and speeches, and deciphering through tons and tons of media garbage. Without pr representatives, presidential candidates would never survive!
