I suspect, even as I write this, there will be some who poo-poo what I put in this post. Never-the-less, I talked with a few NextStagers (I know, it's Sunday. I really honestly don't work on Sundays. I don't consider this work, though) and we all agreed that we should post it, so here goes. On 8 July '07, in How Politicians Want You to Think - Who's Saying It Best, Finale, I posted the following comment: "Right now Governor Romney's leading the field. ... Right now, he's in the lead as far as who can best be heard.
This statement was made on the basis of NextStage's tools analyzing of Governor Romney's messaging style -- his ability to get his campaign message into the hearts and minds of the greatest number of people. The tool most used to make this prediction is NextStage's TargetTrack tool.
For those who don't know, Governor Romney won the Ames, Iowa straw poll last night. IE, he got his campaign message into the greatest number of hearts and minds of all those who took part in the poll.
NextStage routinely does analysis of how well the politicans are getting their messages across. Our tools correctly predicted the outcomes of the 2004 Primaries and Presidential Election months ahead of others. Call us. We're happy to talk about it.
Please contact NextStage for information regarding presentations and trainings on this and other topics.
