All this post campaign talk about politics and elections brings to mind this basic truth. Politics are steeped in taking advantage of every angle you can manufacture.
Incumbents are usually in an advantageous position when it comes to politicking and campaigns.
Here is a simple, and we might add periodic example. This week, qualifying begins for the Pensacola City Council elections, which will be held in May. A report that, naturally, details how every action undertaken by city government is positive. Timing is everything and the timing here gives the incumbents free advertising right before the campaign. Comes now the Port of Pensacola.
