front-porch campaign

It is used to contrast with modern, highly mobile campaigning. * The candidate adopted a front-porch campaign, giving daily addresses to reporters and delegations that came to his home. * Historians note that a successful front-porch campaign required extensive media coverage to reach a national audience.
