    Tommys Losses: Sore Campaigns Do Not Pay

    WHEN the smoke of political battle cleared, re-election-bound Michael Ramahas had 6,376 votes more than Rep. Tomas Osmena, in a surprising upsetpainted on odds most people thought were largely on the challengers favor,analysts say.

    The final count showed 217,448 for Rama and 211,072 for Osmena, as thoughhistory repeated itself before Cebu: little David killed Goliath again! What wentwrong for Tommy? What turned out right for Rama?

    The campaign has had three stages build-up, consolidation, and momentum

    and obviously Tomas Osmena and his BOPK party should have found

    themselves deficient and wanting in these aspects, say analysts from private-ran Tools & Strategy, a local politico-economic think-tank.

    The Rama campaign plan was simple: it was meant to draw sharp comparisonand/or distinction between two protagonists, in various political hues, socio-economic colours, and impact to individuals and organizations, Mayor Ramasays. The BOPK, on the other hand, from start to finish, was bent on demolitionjobs to discredit Rama, painting him as indecisive, unfocused, lacking in vision,

    and at a certain point, gay. It was powered by one mans anger and hatred.

    Tommy had lost more than half of the formidable coalition of 726 organizations he had built when he first ran for mayor inJanuary 1988, analysts say. Against Mayor Ramas bottom-to-top structure, which was backstopped by strong allies informer Rep. Antonio Cuenco, former mayor Alvin Garcia, 46 barrio captains, 414 barrio councilmen, and a host of formercity councilmen, he has little strength to count on when he began campaigning in May 2012. Suspicions of infiltration andloyalty questions within the ranks repeatedly stalled his organizing pace. The BOPK has been decimated by defections,intrigue, bickering, disunity, and brain drain in the last 24 years.

    While Rama was able to organize and empower 64 parallel organizations built around friendships he has forged with citygovernment department heads and CEOs of home-grown companies during the consolidation stage around January2013, Tommy increasingly relied on 34 allies among barrio captains, 51 newly formed voter fronts and/or alliances with

    urban-poor sector groups, and money to move volunteers led by untrained, inefficient leaders, says lawyer Jan Ponce,one of Ramas consultants.

    Team Rama had thousands of volunteers who served without pay or allowance. Tommy and his party also hadthousands, all hired hands, ready for work because he had money to pay, Ponce adds.

    By the time Rama acquired momentum during most days of April 2013, the BOPK caught itself on the defensive on many

    fronts, drawing heavy fire on seven decisive issues integrity, experience, competence, charisma, health, performance,

    and platform all directed on Tommy for which altogether the party eventually failed to respond well, say analysts from the

    Campaigns & Image Group. Leaks on the BOPK-commissioned political tracking poll and voter preference surveyconducted by students of the University of San Carlos and some of its professors, in which Osmena and the BOPK werelackluster and faring less than expected, have had created the strong public perception that Rama has finally gained theupper hand.

    Twelve days into May 13, during which concluding campaigns by Team Rama zeroed in on Tommys character, attitudetoward people (peers and subordinates), performance as legislator and past mayor, and platform, the BOPK insteadviciously counterattacked with negative campaigning, raising the specter of Ramas alleged ties with drug lords, Ramasfailed marriage, and Ramas psychiatry record, that boomeranged altogether and hurt Tommy even more, analysts say.

    Despite massive election spending for some last-ditch attempt to wrest the initiative, the endgame turned tables in Ramasfavour. Tommy lost 447 votes in Guadalupe, where up to 31,756 of its 32, 411voters turned up to cast their ballots andwhere he is a registered voter. Worse, in his own precinct, he lost to Rama 27 against one. Rama lost only in 29 of the 80barrios and 547,681 electors that made up the citys political landscape.

    Strategic and Tactical Review

    RATIONALETo lay the ground work for 2013 mayoralty campaign

    SITUATION ANALYSISGetting MLR re-elected needs a STRONG LIFT from a set of valid issues close to the hearts and minds ofthe populaceaspirations and dreams to which voters can directly identify themselves to.

    Through COMMUNITY ORGANIZING and CONSULTATIVE APPROACH on an indirect, sublime, yet high-impact ISSUE INTERCEPTION, we can create and develop a new Social, Politico-Economic, and EcologyDevelopment (SPEED) framework with the direct participation of communities. SPEED will serve as the

    master plan of city development, endorsed and supported by men and women in the urban poor, youth,industrial, services, agriculture, and faith-based sections of the local economy.

    The grass-root voters dreams and aspirations become Ramas own. They will find in Rama a clear reasonto cast their vote for. They become stakeholders, instead of being kibitzers and fence-sitters. Their questfor solutions to their social and politico-economic needs form part of the Rama political agenda.

    SPEED will serve as the sounding board or an instrumentality for re-echoing our key messages. This holdsthe key to a high-impact, less costly campaign. The how-tos are shown here under.

    Reasons for ActionVoter perception tracking data from the US Embassy shows that MLR holds an edge against TRO in termsof incumbency (17.20 percentage points), charisma (6.45 p.p.), and character (3.87 p.p.).

    These combined advantage of 0.2752, when weighed against an average voter turnout of 85 percent andelector base of 522,476, shows a glimpse of the MLR potential in 143,785 votes. This project is meant tocapitalize on the factors fueling these existing perceptions, as illustrated below.

    10

  • 7/30/2019 Exit Report_Project Moon Raker

    11/36

    As illustrated below, voter preference tracking data from the UK Embassy shows TROs strength inpopularity (18.44 percentage points), financial preparations (12.46 p.p.) and experience (6.91p.p).

    If weighed against a voter turnout of 85 percent and 522,476 electors, this combination of factors pinpointwhere Tommys building blocks for support at 197,548 heads will be and where we should be usingresources to undermine certain initiatives.

    Homestretch may run from 1.5% to as high as 4%, weighed against actual voter turnout on the day ofballoting. This translates to a winning range of 5,750 votes (baseline) to 15,335.

    PART VII Action PlanThis project will be implemented by Chief Strategist Leonardo Chiu and ABC.

    The following models (as shown below) govern both functional organizational coordination at the policy,strategy and tactical levels of the campaign.

    Entire plan takes into account the formulation of initiatives in community organizing, PR/media relations,

    community relations, coalition building, and radio-based propaganda programs.On the ground level, PROJECT MOON RAKER is operationally under the control and supervision of the ChiefStrategist, who reports directly to Mike Rama. The coordination flow between Media Relations, under theCampaign Manager, should be clear at this point (as was shown in the diagram).

    Cost-efficiency AssumptionsSince built-in city government resources and strategic assets are already in place, there will be asignificant reduction in out-of-pocket expenses.Campaign goal: 225, 350 men and women

    Spending from March 2012 to May 15, 2013: P5.87 per voter

    IX Areas of ConsiderationAverage voter turnout in last three elections has been 78%For May 2013, AVT of 407,531 is a close call.Not the best-case scenario yetUncommitted votes: 86,316 or 21.18%

    A swing vote as large as thisa wide gapis crucial to both sides

    The best-defensive-case scenarios for TRO:Line P500 for each of targeted 40,000 voters among urban poor and young voters, and spend P20 millionon Election DayGiving money to keep 40,000 of Ramas supporters at home for P25 millionHe did that once; he will do it again

    Ramas best-offensive-case scenario:Raise voter turnout at the 88% threshold (459,778)Line up 52,247 more votes at no expense in Mikes favorDiminish TRO initiatives in the Services, Youth, and Agriculture sectorsForce TRO into costly defensive propaganda actions, stretching his financial rope to maximum limitsWork out special conversions in traditionally gray areas of the political economy (W4, U1, and YMW5)Disrupt vote-buying

    X Expected Results Advantage #1: MLR is guided by an issue-based framework, which runs parallel to mainstream

    campaign messaging

    Advantage #2: By winning hearts and minds, Mike will be able to get win even if TRO spends P50

    million on Election Day.

    Advantage #3: Rama creates and sustains the impression that he values other peoples ideas andinputs more than his own, thereby raising his acceptability and viability as a candidate.

    Interpolated data from US/UK political sections (2012): Country Sheet for www.cia.gov, CIA World Fact Book (2012): AverageVoter Turnout at 78%;

    Inner-core, Election-day Scenarios Voter turnout between 71% and 80% Losses from cross-candidate diffusion among councilor-candidates may hit 5% and may favor

    OSMENA ticket (11/5)

    OSMENA may attack central positioning anchored on LABELLA and four other candidates in the RAMAticket via large-scale cash infusion, thereby ensuring that MARGOT VARGAS OSMENA (MVO) gets thetop slot in the South District;

    TRO/MVO spending in South District may take some 4.53% to 5% off Ramas support lineup,affecting BATUHAN

    TRO spending in North District may affect MLR a little, if the elder Del Mar runs. If not, diffusion by

    3% stands likely. Homestretch may run from 1.5% to as high as 4%, weighed against actual voter turnout on the day

    of balloting. This translates to a winning range of 5,750 votes (baseline) to 15,335.

    Adding 15,335 to the 201,392 homestretch potential of Rama may establish the winning point at216,727 in both South and North districts.
