So I am running for school president.

Here is the deal:

I am running against the most popular girl in all of the school. Only 7th and 8th grade students vote. We're in 8th grade and have the top 2 averages. I think that most of the 8th grade will vote for her. However, half of the 7th grade will vote for me, and half for her. So she will probably win. Should I run for President and take a risk or should I just go with secretary and ensure an office position?

And if I run for president, how should I get the 7/8th grade votes?
 
Find someone you can trust to be a campaign manager. Then run a campaign on "change" and "hope" and maybe people will sheepishly follow you. Basically, mock Obama's campaign. Also, campaign that you'll be there for the students because she'll be in high school in a year. Good Luck!
 
You need an inspirational speech. Campaign for groups. For example: you might want to sit at different places at lunch and become more appealing. It also depends are you a boy or a girl. You must also consider the fact that you are quite sure that if you run for secretary you will win.
 
You should run, it would be a really great project for you, you'll learn a lot. The best way to get votes is to get the kids to like you. For example pass out cards with your name and a slogan Obama had "Change" you can come up with something catchy. With the cards you pass out attach a lolly pop or some kind of candy. People will pay attention if they are getting something out of the discussion, even if it is only candy.

Next come up with some great signs, use Microsoft outlook to create some posters and place them all over your school campus.
this should help you get noticed

Now come up with an agenda
pick three things that you want to see changed at your school.

For example
Free Ice Cream for perfect attendance
Better field trips for the 7th and 8th grade classes
Having more School dances or better school dances
Getting vending machines, or better more healthy ones.
that kind of thing. If the students think you will help them, or make their school lives better then they are more likely to vote for you regardless of how popular you are.


If things get really bad for you, you can always start a rumor about the popular girl (KIDDING)
 
find something bad about her thatll change their minds. something they wouldnt want in a president.. like SHE SUPPORTED OBAMA... maybe that.
