“If you don’t know who to hit, just hit somebody.”
That was advice given to Andrew from his high school football coach, Norm Walker. I love it.
Andrew is a GOP consultant based out of Charleston, SC and known for running the Charleston Meeting and The Monday Meeting (in NYC).
In this episode of The Cost of Winning we go all the way back to 2012 when Andrew was helping run Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign. Maybe you don’t remember, so let me remind you. Santorum was a long shot and outspent about 20 to 1. Still he won 11 states and shocked everyone.
