Ron Filipkowski's take on the Platner situation

[calimary]

11. Make damn sure we KNOW our people, especially our potential candidates.

Consider it kind of a political hipster’s homework assignment.

Heaven knows if we’re talking ‘32 (I’m assuming this means 2032), we have TIME. RIGHT NOW. LOTS of it! To start evaluating them. Call it the “Get to Know Your Candidates” project (or game).
- Who’s for real?
- Who sounds/seems too good to be true?
- Who has what possible/potential problems?
- Who has what possible/potential assets?
- Who has the most credible and/or well-known friends/coworkers/colleagues willing to speak for them?
- Who’s bringing in the most money - and from whom?
- Who’s got the most longterm friends and allies, not just a bunch of newbies?

And so forth. You’ve probably got additional questions. Now’s the time. Seems to me. It’s NEVER too early.
