I need help with a mock election for school - what is the best way to win votes and get my candidate nominated

Ok - so in my Honors Government class we are holding a mock primary election - where we have to create candidates and make them out to be the best person for the job. My guy is called Collin King ( black,young,served in marines, former ambassador to italy, and georgia senator) - the problem is that there are only four of the six original candidates and I am one of them...now, California and New York have already been taken and not by my guy. Also, Louisianna is probably already taken same as Virginia....so, I need to bust my but in Ohio, texas, pa, north carolina, and etc. - so, are there any ideas that i can get myself some votes here ladies and gents? I already have Oprah endorsing my campaign, and I am going to have Senator Casey represent for PA ( someone already to Rendel)...so any other states I am missing or ideas for pushing my campaign in the right direction???

1. Not enough info. Who's deciding who wins what states? Other students? What are they basing their votes on?
2. Use the words "change" and "hope" in every sentence. Offer kool-aid . Promise the change and throw in the hope for free.. My name is Jon and I'm here to say I bring you change and hope today we want to change and change is good I'd change the racists if I could! I'd change the mood and bring in hope I'd change the class and ring in dope I'd change the moon and make it blue I'd change the stars just for you. Vote for me and all my change Voting takes just half a brain Vote for me no matter what Cause "change" and "hope" is all I've got!!!!
3. Get involved in a sex scandal and then publically apologize to the voters (rub some onion in your eyes for real tears) and tell them you are a changed man. Once they see you are just another fallible human being you will be a shoe in.
4. If you want your candidate to win, use the time-tested system...have him lie!
5. call them super delegates and pay them
6. Bill Richardson from New Mexico. Corzine from NJ. Pass out some Kool aid and some change(pennies) and some hope.
7. Well, first you need to learn how to cry, lie and stomp your feet.
8. democrat, republican etc... this is necessary to know what info. to relay in each of these states that appeals to those voters. Oprah endorsement may be ok for the northern states, but for the southern states you need a more "homegrown" type someone who would appeal to the southern population. You need to appeal to the issues in those particular states. ex: NJ, address pollution. TX, address the effects of illegal immigrants on the texan economy. etc.. MO, the right of religion is a big one. If all else fails, make promises you have no intention of keeping, after admiting you previously had numerous affairs and a time where you experimented with drugs. lol
