Although Amy Showalter is some type of political expert, she could be wrong about her political action list.
She offers these ideas for how political action groups can build a powerful pack of followers
Find the right people (cohesive, connected, converted) rather than the "best" people for an effective underdog persuasive pack.
Be or find a pack leader who is interested in the team winning, not in personal victory. Your pack leader must promote task cohesion. Find and engage the connected.
Do a pre-test with your team members by giving them a small task or favor to ask of someone. See if they do the task.
Find connected pack members who have credibility in the community and/or among those you want to influence.
Make sure your converts have freely made the decision to convert. Converting to save their skin isn't convincing.
Give your converts visibility. Can they serve as spokespersons?
Well, all these points of views are fine but, Showalter is not outside in the rain , cold or at night .
