==================================
OK.
1) One obvious thing is that riding on a Donkey actually was a political signal. Can anyone flesh that out?
2) Riding into town was a political "thang." Just doing it was.
3) Going around in public places quoting the below definitely put one's nose "into the ring.":
"The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Psm 118:22-24)
4) It was a political event when the crowd yelled: "Hosanna ("Save!") to the Son of David!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" (Matthew 21:9 -- from Psalm 118:26)
5) And its a bit "desparate" (according to your political consultant), but saying these words, and then dying might get you remembered too!:
"Eli, Eli lama sabachthani?"–which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46 and Psalm 22:1)
"In my anguish I cried to the Lord, and he answered by setting me free." (Psm 118:5)
