Campaigning in Maternity Wards
I will be campaigning in maternity wards in hospitals in the New York and Philadelphia metropolitan areas the next two weekends. The reason why I am choosing maternity wards is twofold: To better understand the needs of parents for the 2012 election and to plant seeds in newborns for the 2028 election. It is the latter that compels me to spend the next two weekends at maternity wards.
Election Day 2028 will fall on November 7. In order to be eligible to vote for the 2028 election, the voter must be born by November 7, 2010. This is only a few weeks away. Any campaigning in maternity wards after November 7 will be geared towards the 2032 elections (for the newborns).
My biggest fear in campaigning in maternity wards (especially to the newborns) is that I might be doing this in vain. If I serve two terms between now and 2028, they will not have an opportunity to vote for me. Unlike Michael Bloomberg, I do not have a City Council that can overturn term limits. I can’t even ask Congress to do it. If I run for a third term, it would require overturning the Twentieth Amendment of the Constitution. I only want to be president for eight years at the most. After serving as President, I can have a long and lucrative career as an ex-president.
I will be in full campaign mode the next two weekends as I kiss hands and shake babies. I will be a candidate for the mainstream candidates to reckon with.

This is a great idea. I can’t think of any other candidate who is targeting the newborns. One other thing to think of, if a kid likes something chances are their parents do too. I say stick with those toddlers to get their parent’s vote.
That is part of the next step. The goal is to treat election centers like toy stores with kids screaming, “I want that one!” with me being the that one.
