whats the deal with those endorsements?

from PolMach Forums
Ive been trying to get some endorsements in the game, but after i get one (like one i got from the unions) nothing really seems to happen.
I dont even get a screen saying i got the endorsement and it doesnt seem to influence the game at all. Am I missing something?

When you get an endorsement, you will immediately see that some states will be more inclined to vote for you( ie they become more blueish depending on the importance they give to this issue). Endorsements act like a big tv ad which has an immediate impact. The game will just say that you got the endorsement. As the game moves on you will see that the computer will also use a lot the ensorsements.

Endorsements are mainly useful for (a) awareness and (b) an instant boost on 2 issues. They do cost a lot of stamina via political capital and are not constant like ads, but cost no money.

I don't always see a color shift from just one endorsement. If I have a few ads going 1 ad might make an immediate difference. Otherwise it usually takes three for me to see significant results colorwise. And not all of them give you boosts in 2 areas. The environmentaly endorsement hurts you ANWR rating, I think it lowers it by 5.
