Sam & Max: Season 1 Hints
How do I win the election?
1 of 5: After you finally get to the president, you'll have the opportunity to put Max in the White House.
2 of 5: But first, of course, first you need to win the election. Hmm. How do politicians win elections in real life?
3 of 5: You need to raise Max's ratings in the opinion polls and lower Lincoln's, naturally. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do about Max's ratings; he's a psychotic rabbitty thing, and there's no way to make that sound like a good thing.
4 of 5: So you're going to have to concentrate on making Lincoln look bad. You don't have the option to put out attack commercials, so you'll need to find a way to make him cut his own political throat.
5 of 5: If you talk to Lincoln, you have the option to ask him about the issues or to have him make a brief statement. Both of these are public events with lots of people watching, so that's the place to hit him.
