It Ain't Easy Bein Green

[Tom Lehman]

Dear Chuck,

You have to know how to work a room.  For example, an unknown, unendorsed candidate
has to go around and introduce himself to all the delegates and as many others as
he can.  I recently saw a guy named Louie do a really good job in this type of a
situation.  Louie had to have introduced himself to at least 500 people, "Hello I'm
Louie ____ , I'm running for____, here is my business card.  Business cards are
inexpensive and people will hold on to them.  Be sure and use a union printer.
After Louie had introduced himself to everyone, he was invited to say a few words.
Thats what he did, somthing like, nice meeting all of you and I'll do a good job
for you if I'm elected.

Sincerely,
Tom
