Oh the usual ways. Suggestions forum, debates in the threads on upcoming votes, PMs etc. But I personally think a really good TB Candidate will have his or her ear to the ground and be able to take a pulse of the members at large on certain issues. They should know the website and community well enough to know if something overly unpopular or detrimental to the site is going on and can act accordingly
