Here is a richly glocal item -- a Minneapolis businessman runs for President of Croatia, in which he criticizes his opponent, who goes on to win the election, and now the Minneapolis businessman is being sued for slander by the new President of Croatia. You just know there's a great story behind the story here. The local businessman, Boris Miksic, is a refugee from Yugoslavia who struck it rich in the U.S. But rather than rising in U.S. politics (as former Minnesota governor and Croatian immigrant-son Rudy Perpich did), he is using the Twin Cities -- and the fortune he made in this country -- as a base for a political career in his home country. Having failed to win the presidency, he now plans to run for mayor of Zagreb in May. I want to know all about this guy! Especially I want to know why he chose to return to Croatia, rather than join politics in the country that took him in when he needed refuge and opportunity. That question does not imply a criticism; I'd sincerely like to know. His whole life story is intensely glocal.
The best thing to do in an election is not saying any counter act against your opponent. Instead, try to reach out the people's needs.
