THE EASY WAY Ask people what they want. Then tell them what they want to hear. Remember, different groups want different things. (Promises, promises . . .) Politicians call this "campaigning". It's easy. And it works. THE HARD WAY. Tell the people what you stand for. Tell all the people the same thing. Make no deals. No Promises. This is the hard way. Sheldon Karon thinks it can work. KARON ON CON-CON: "No. I won't work for your pet cause at the Constitutional Convention. I won't even work for my own pet cause. If I go to Con-Con, I won't go as a politician. I'll go as a constitutional lawyer. That's my profession. And I'll work for only one thing: a better constitution. That's the only promise I've made to anyone."
