Offset, District, Phrase


In the district offices of Mrs. Candidate, a problem emerged. An ad linking the candidate to a massive factory closure introduced a phrase, an earworm of sorts, that hung around her neck like an albatross.

The debate formulating the rebuttal took on a desperate air. The national chief strategist’s best idea was to disregard the negative ad, to offset the implications with her well known accomplishments, but the candidate thought it was tepid, cautious, lacklustre.

Mrs. Candidate decided to film a publicity stunt, if only to distract the public. Unfortunately, her duet with Celine Dion seemed desperate and backfired badly.
