Jumping on a bandwagon is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as those on the bandwagon join of their own free will.
But opposing candidates counter the bandwagon mentality by suggesting voters are too easily swayed by the ornamentation and shininess of the bandwagon, not the candidate or political cause driving it.

 Bandwagon fallacy at opensource encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The bandwagon fallacy, also known as appeal to the people, authority of the many, argument by consensus, appeal to the gallery, appeal to popularity or argumentum ad populum, is a fallacy where something is 'proven' by stating that many or all people believe it.
While the argument may seem convincing when not examined, a simple refutation would lie in pointing out that at a time not too distant in United States history, it was common to hold other people as slaves, which few people today would consider ethical.
The bandwagon fallacy is a pillar of advertising, along with the appeal to authority fallacy.

 Moran's Bandwagon travels off the beaten path - The Boston Globe
The jazz world these days is unusually awash in hot young trios intent on pushing boundaries, and the phenomenal pianist Jason Moran and his group Bandwagon -- rounded out by bassist Tarus Malteen and drummer Nasheet Waits -- are among the best of the bunch.
Moran brings a fresh sensibility to jazz piano, drawing from slightly off-the-beaten-path influences, including Muhal Richard Abrams and his late Manhattan School of Music mentor, Jaki Byard, known for casually incorporating the whole history of jazz piano styles into their playing.
Moran paused to introduce the band and note that they'd eaten at a "random Roy Rogers" on the drive from Manhattan, which was charming and personable enough but a little less useful than naming off the tunes.
