lesson10910

The "Enemies" section includes strategies that help the American politician to have a good defense, especially when it comes to others trying to attack his or her credibility. Although the other chapters deal with more offensive strategies to get ahead in the game of politics, Chris Matthews keeps in mind that sometimes the best offense can be a good defense. Using strategies such as "Keep your enemies in front of you," "Don't get mad, don't get even; get ahead," and "Leave no shot unanswered," Matthews employs different tactics to keep your opponents at bay and your constituents happy.
