In last year’s mayoral election in town T, candidate miller led candidate Keating by a substantial margin in the polls leading up to the election. At the last minute, Keating launched a widely viewed series of television that focused on preserving the natural environment of Town T, a topic neglected by miller. Subsequently, Keating won the election by a narrow margin. This year, if candidate Miller hopes to win the upcoming mayoral election, he must increase his coverage of the topic of preserving the natural environment of Town T.
Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
The main point of the argument is that keating won the election by last minute initiative which was preserving the natural environment issue.

Now come to that point, preserving natural environment was a previous election issue. We can assume that Keating has done something on that issue during his time. If Miller again brings that topic it will be a copycat and keating can take advantages of it. It won't do any good to miller and even backfire miller's election campaign.

Another point is that, Keating initiated that issue at the last point and Miller was almost winning that election. It will be a wise decision for miller is that if Miller prepare himself from the first day of the election and leave no space for Keating for any last-minute campaign issue. That should be the best strategy for Miller.

Focusing on another subject will be much more astute decision for Milller. Like during keating period what he was lacking to fulfill. Like unemployment problem or housing problem in town T. If keating is unable to fulfill his commitment to preserve the natural environment then, miller should campaign on that issue.

But Miller should focus on what's Keating is lack of fulfilling his promises and prepare himself from the beginning should be the basic strategy for Miller. There is an axiom which is 'Slow and steady wins the race.' By not doing previous mistake and more focus on people's popular demands can win Miller this time.
