Uhm, basically

An ex-campaign explains why I should stick to D&D:

As someone who has worked in political campaigns, this is the worst piece of political advice I have ever read. Ideally, you will be ahead by as large a margin as possible. You will destroy your opponent early, and they will remained destroyed. In what world doe you want to stay behind until 2 weeks to go? No politician wants to do anything but win, and win by as big a margin as possible. Before 2000, most elections were big wins for the presidency.

I'd agree with all of that except "before 2000." I'd also add that this was never going to be a blowout against McCain. But yeah, he's right otherwise.
