Ideally you can make them laugh, make them cry, and give them hope.

It seems a bit much to ask for a high school SO president candidate -- and to do it in 60 seconds, but that's the formula.

My experience may be different 'cuz I was one cynical SOB, but if you can make them give a shit that might just be enough.

That would be great if they gave a shit about things that might affect their school experience, but I'm not sure they do. Did you see the film The Trotsky. That's a brilliant film about how much high school kids don't give a shit.

I think they generally vote for someone funny and amusing or sexy and popular. My guess is all he really has to do is be funny and they'd vote for him. nowaypablo
