Any party can be picked, and any home state. Generally I prefer to pick a blue or red state that has a reasonable amount of ECV in my own party so I don't need to divert attention there more than once or twice.

Characteristics are quite obvious: Stamina maxed so that you can actually do as much as possible without running out of energy as fast.
Money as average, since you need enough money to start a few headquarters but it's not a longterm buff.
Fundraising maxed out, as that allows you to rake in as much money from California, Texas an New York, which converts to many headquarters throughout the country and ad spam.

Charisma maxed out, since speeches and advertisements are VASTLY more useful and reliable than any other way of converting people.

Appearance: worthless. Going on talk shows is pointless anyway and the stat only has one or two uses that are nothing in comparison to ads and speeches.

Credibility: average. Not enough points spare from stamina, fundraising and charisma to improve this. Basically Credibility makes sure attack ads stick on the enemy but not on you.

Experience: Useless for anything other than Endorsements, which are completely overated (they are useful and can gamechange but nothing in comparison to infinite shekels and powerful ads). In fact, building the endorsment point headquarters is not worth it.

Intelligence: Dump stat to fuel the shekel and advertisement powers.

-------------------------------

The strategy is basically: Give a few speeches in California, plop down a Campaign or Outreach Center, and once you get some recognition use your remaining energy fundraising, then the next week fundraise. Then go around important states giving speeches and local advertisements and outreach or campaign centers.

Go to texas as democrat and just do speeches, and spend all your personelle points on Intimidators and turn Texas blue. (it's very easy even on medium difficulty). Go to wherever important state you wanna go to and do lots of attack speeches and ads.

There, that's basically it. Money. Ads. Speech spam. Easy game.
