Congresswoman María Corina Machado has apparently entered the opposition’s primary fight.
Her campaign slogan? ¡Viene María!
I’m in no position to judge whether or not that slogan is going to work. It’s either brilliant or disastrous. Either way, it’s catchy, and it gets people talking.
Machado has a few things going for her, namely:
a) She’s the only female in the group, and a smart, good-looking one at that;
b) She’s the only one in the group who can seriously claim to have never been a part of a political party, either old or new; and
c) She is adored by a segment of the opposition’s base that has been feeling a bit neglected the past few months.
Say what you will, but many successful campaigns have started off with a lot less than that.
I also hear that she’s hired a slick publicity team, and has incorporated a promising young politician into her inner circle.
She’s a long-shot, and she appears to be a polarizing figure, but she should not be underestimated.
The slogan, against the background graphic/colour of a sun, is brilliant. I give her points on that alone. Lo del resto, pues ya veremos.

You’re right about the red: inclusive of chavistas. I hadn’t thought of that. Maybe the orange accent represents a little flame, the spark under the ni-ni’s (or god forbid, “fosforito”). .
So Mary’s coming forward, out of the shadows, followed by a lemon-yellow sun that alludes to holiness, while also representing astringency (She’s gonna clean things up!).
Did these thoughts form part of the subliminal message? Perhaps one or two. In the meantime, it’s fun to analyze!

Not only that, but Maria definitely appeals to a more humble target,like “Maria la de la bodega” or “Maria la que limpia en el 9”, etc. This could definitely help her de-emphasize her “burguesita” background: I am not crazy about the colours or the lettering, but I admit that the premise by itself is a trenchant move (in contrast to being the main candidate from AD from day 1, like the people below me have suggested) .

Machado justifica la decisión de la oposición de no concurrir a la elección, aunque subraya que Súmate no llama a la abstención. Dice que el proceso electoral venezolano adolece de muchas irregularidades. Como el resto de los opositores, critica el sistema informático de registro de voto, que permite saber a quién eligió el votante. “La gente tiene miedo a votar ante la posibilidad de que el sistema no sea secreto. Hubo empleados públicos que fueron intimidados o castigados por el gobierno”, afirma. Cuando se le recuerda que el gobierno aceptó ante los veedores internacionales retirar el sistema, Machado replica: “Es el proceso total el que está viciado. No sólo las máquinas. Ninguno de los veedores aceptaría este sistema en sus países, pero pretenden que lo hagamos aquí”.

Absolutely! But to me the level of restrain that one is able to execute vis-a-vis political opportunity is a great indicator/precursor of character/ credibility.

I met Lopez in Harvard couples of years ago when VP came to Boston, and the guy appeared so insincere…it was sad…handsome sure, but he had an aura of “politiquero” that I don’t will ever jibe well with “el pueblo”. :) Maria Corina looks like a sifrina…sure, but as a woman I feel that las ciases populares would be more inclined to listen to what she has to say…she is also attractive and assertive. Her interventions in the National Assembly have stood out to me as well.
LikeLike
“Capriles seems a bit too anxious and he’s biting way more than he can chew.”… Can you substantiate this a little more please?
Right now Capriles is less of a public figure than Machado because either a) Her publicity team is better/ His is nonexistant and she has recently done more controversial things, like the count the days thing, b) Her speaking skills are better than Capriles.
Either way, Capriles has recently had so little public exposure if compared to Machado that I think it is unfair for you to call him anxious and too ambitious under Machado’s light. That being said, maybe in the private Capriles is different from what he portrays himself on TV….
I personally find them both appealing, but I think we can all agree that Machado can sometimes come across as too anxious to be the focus of attention (e.g. telling the camera man to focus her more while speaking in the AN)…some might find this daring, but I think it is too much. I agree with you, Lopez seems fake to me, but in the Capriles vs Machado race, I would say she seems more anxious and ambitious.

Capriles less public than Machado? I have to respectfully disagree. He’s been in politics as long as I can remember and he always gave away this vibe of wanting to be President since like ages ago. I would also argue that being the mayor/governor of the richest county/state of the nation shouldn’t accrue as major experience advantage over MCM’s Sumate and Congress stints. I think that Maria Corina can be much more relatable than Capriles (motherly vibe maybe). Capriles also wants to wave the flag of being the youngest Presi ever, which is a very bad choice if you ask me. If he wins the primaries I’d support him, but I dunno of he is our best bet.

The fourth party says, zzzzzz. The second party still in disbelief claims that the randomness of the sample is irrelevant, that what matters is that the data it represents is believable. zzzzzz. The second party repeats that the sample does not represent the total of the data because it is not random, that the difference is sufficient to change the results. But, ok, they analyze the data with statistics specifically designed to detect fraud and find that something is screwy with the data, too. The third party uses statistics that would not detect fraud and finds that nothing is screwy with the data.

The BIG problem with her slogan is it’s all about HER, not about voters.
More generally:
She’s very smart, and has more energy then everyone you know put together. Tenacious as hell.
She inspires fanatical loyalty among those who work for her.
All that being said…is she really ready to run a very screwed-up country? I haven’t seen any evidence that this is the case.
I thought Sumate failed at least twice, in important ways. The first time was going along with Doug Schoen’s catastrophic exit poll in 2004…in which the exit polling was done by inexperienced Sumate volunteers (and identified as such!) at only some polling stations. Exit polls are problematic under the best of circumstances (ask John Kerry)…and these were not the best of circumstances. Given the importance of her NGO at that time, the plan showed she had not done her due diligence or thought through the aftermath. The second major failure was when Sumate took a partisan stance and recommended that the opposition not participate in Asamblea elections in 2005. It was the wrong thing for the opposition to do, and it was an inappropriate (partisan) recommendation from an NGO which pretended to have participation in the process as its highest goal. They should have been clear about the flaws in the process and recommended that voters decide for themselves.
Both the flawed exit poll and the boycott of the elections had very negative consequences for the opposition.
AND, if she’s going to run on the AD ballot….that’s a really bad decision.
LikeLike
good points, Lucía. Yes, the slogan is all about her. But, by incorporating a verb, the slogan becomes a rallying call for all who want to journey with María. That call to action, as any seasoned marketer will tell you, is crucial when jumpstarting a goal. And if the verb implies the gathering of many, then the slogan becomes less about María and more about her followers.
As for aligning herself with the AD ballot, I’d have to agree with Quico. She needs to. I suspect that MCM, alone, would not have the finances or the infrastructure to launch a successful campaign as an independent.
