President Election Help

Hey everyone and Happy Thanksgiving! I'm new to this forum so I hope you guys can help out a newbie!

We have our elections coming up this Tuesday and I'm running for President against one other person. Basically the election is me, the serious person who wants to get stuff done, versus the popular fun guy. Both of us have the exact same Executive board experience, but I have held more minor positions, and have done much much more for our fraternity.

While I'll admit that i'm not the perfect candidate for President, but the thing that separates me from him is that he is the type that wants our meetings to be a mini-party, leaves everything to the last minute, is always busy with school (I'm riding the AP Credit train so I can take 4 courses the next two semester), and doesn't have the ability to take charge of a situation. He's a talker and has all these good ideas, but his actions and plans start and end in his
Mouth. In important situations he will hope that they'll resolve itself or someone else will deal with it. I'm the polar opposite so my Brothers are seeing me as the enforcer instead of the fun guy who wants to party 24/7. Right now our chapter is in a very vulnerable state since we lost a lot of dedicated Brothers, there's a huge sentiment of apathy, so we need someone who can take charge.

Has anyone that has been in this situation have any advice they can give so I can hopefully win the election? I plan on calling all of our Brothers this weekend, at least I know that they won't be too busy over the break, but does anyone have any advice on what I can say or do to our Brothers to pursuade them to vote for me?
