What specific protest or ad plan, in which ridings, with what budget, run by whom, produces more persuadable voter contacts than 90 days of door-knocking?

'You don't need a recall campaign to talk to people', sure, that's true.

But a recall gives you:
- a clear local target
- a public reason for being at the door that does not sound like partisan recruitment
- a hard deadline, for that 'sense of urgency' to make contact
- and a media hook that forces coverage of the underlying issue.

This misses the point; Nicolaides only won by 385 votes in 2023. That's it. Assuming that Caged Great's 10% holds for every volunteer's list (he said 100/1000 were people who voted UCP before and said they won't be next time), that's potentially ~651 votes that he's lost, more than his margin of victory last go around.
