  Cookie cutter campaign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cookie cutter campaigns are political campaigns, engineered by political consultants who run virtually identical campaigns in different jurisdictions.
The typical hallmarks of such a campaign are direct mail advertisements using identical layouts and stock photographs.
The rise of cookie cutter campaigns is due in large measure to the rise of political consulting.

 Anarchy Online Bulletin Board - Trying to beat the cookie cutter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
To overcome the cookie cutter syndrome, you need to encourage *dynamic* variability, so that choices can be made at arbitrary times and then undone when required throughout a character's life.
It is pretty obvious that already the cookie cutter begins to lose shape, since over the lifetime of the character a number of different selections of green ability could be made, and at any point in time you couldn't easily guess which would be in in operation.
I guess cookie cutters are the natural result of basically having to focus on two things: Dealing as much damage to your oponent but still getting in least danger.

The use of a campaign manager often results in changes that reduce the exposure and participation of independent federations, resulting in lost support to their member charities.
When campaign planning, coordinator training and the scheduling of campaign events or speaking opportunities are housed within one organization, each participating federation loses the chance to build relationships with employees.
Campaign planning meetings, coordinator training sessions, and developing strategies for reaching and motivating all employees are necessary activities for a successful campaign, with or without a contractor.

 Grits for Breakfast: Sun Tzu and Opposition Research Strategy: Part III
Campaigns that use both an oppo researcher and a pollster can utilize the full range of research tools available to modern campaigns, but in a heated race, opinion polls cannot replace an opposition researcher.
That said, if many campaigns today rely too heavily on polling instead of paying human beings to research issues, it must be at least in part because too few opposition researchers understand that their task has an artistic, not just a perfunctory, component.
But knowing the leadership in a political campaign also means knowing everything that's possible to know about the candidates, or, in an issue campaign, the people and interest groups on various sides of an issue.

 Our Girl Scout Cookie Sale
The purpose of the Girl Scout Cookie sale is twofold: it helps girls develop leadership skills and practice resourcefulness and self-reliance and it generates revenue for troops and Girl Scout councils to fund the time-honored Girl Scout program in the United States.
All cookie income is used to benefit girls, some directly by remaining in the troop treasury and some indirectly by subsidizing the cost of Girl Scout camps and other programs in the local area.
Homemade cookies were probably sold as part of individual troop money earning projects with some of these "kitchen industries" growing into fairly well-organized volunteer efforts.

Mikulski, who holds a considerable edge in fundraising, had spent the early part of the fall campaign emphasizing her ethnic roots in East Baltimore, but has begun to answer Pipkin's spots with her own, depicting him as a remorseless Wall Street trader with no empathy for low or middle-income people.
