Bird-dog
the candidates.
Bird-dogging
is a tactic that many organizations, and concerned citizens, use
to pressure candidates to take a public stance on an issue, or
to question a stance that a candidate has already taken. Because
members of the media often attend candidate events, bird-dogging
plays an important role in getting candidates’ positions
“on record.”
