#1 The opponents of these politicians can have a slam dunk if they shell out a few bucks and have their own town hall meetings. All have have to do is keep the audience from physically assaulting each other, and let it turn into a rant-fest.

The trick is not to speak first, but to let the audience speak first, to let them "get some of the stink out of their britches".

Even import a few good rabble rousers, who can give good speeches in the audience, to inspire everyone. And if someone lashes out at the candidate, they can just smile and say they haven't been elected yet, so turn your wrath on the incumbent. If elected, however, I'll give you (all) what you want.

#2 Yes, nothing relaxes the defenses of a skeptic than an off-color nickname.

Something our resident liberal-hawk might want to keep in mind.
