Campaign Assessment and Candidate Outreach Project

Can good politics be winning politics? Can candidates who insist upon taking the "high road" get elected? If so, how do they do it and how can other candidates learn from their practical real-life experiences? The campaign assessment and candidate outreach project addresses these and related questions.
