Glen Beck invitation?

Does anyone have any idea whether the Good Doc has accepted Beck's open invitation for a ONE HOUR interview? This would be an incredible opportunity to get some serious prime-time marketing, and might even force the other networks to do something in kind.
We need this people!

this is nuts

I'm bumping this b/c i want a damn answer on this issue. does the campaign want Dr. Paul message to get out to million of rebuplican voters or not!!??

any update on this?

I know that Dr. Paul has nothing scheduled after the 9th. I hope we hear something soon!

Why Glenn Beck might be extra nice to Ron Paul.

Consider this.

1) Glenn Beck really may be supporting Romney. Supposedly he had Romney on his show and was extra nice to him.
2) Romney is being suddenly threatened in Iowa by Huckabee
3) One way to deflate Huckabee is to build up Ron Paul in Iowa, helping Romney.

For this reason, Glenn Beck may actually invite Ron and be nice to him.

Of course he may simply be doing it for the ratings. He did issue this invitation before Huckabee's surge in Iowa, so this may be off-base.

The point is, I do think that Glenn Beck has additional reasons now to have Ron on his show and to be nice to him.

Another reason for Dr. Paul to accept the invitation, I would think.

I just called HQ

and a nice young sounding man actually said that "he shares the exact same sentiment" as those of us who are pleading to make this happen ASAP. He said they are making note of all the calls and he agreed it is of an absolutely urgent nature. Didn't sound bothered at all, just empathetic. For what it's worth...

Thank you for important update

Thanks for the important update.

ok

i hope this is a good sign. we need this !!

woohoo!

That is good to hear. That some of the people on the inside understand how important this is. I hope he is echoing sentiments of some of the decision makers!

Dr. Paul on Glen Beck's show

Yes, I agree, I feel it would give Ron Paul a great deal of publicity. People need to see more of him to know what he can do for us and our rights as Americans. I don't feel he is given as mcuh media time as the others are.
I am hopeful that Glen Beck will do this for Dr. Paul and our country.
Heaven only knows how badly we need him to heal our country. I think he is the only one who is capable to do this.
Dr. Ron Paul is on my prayer list. I pray that God will answer this prayer, to give Ron Paul the votes to be elected as our President.

no...

This conversation will not, and should not die. This isn't a minor request for me. He must accept this offer ASAP. This is ridiculous. Beck has handed him the election on a silver platter, and if he doesn't respond, it either means the campaign folks are incompetent or they don't really want to win. Either way, my *active* support ends if they reject this.

What the hell were we constantly harassing Beck for, if not for this? We have been demanding media coverage. It has now been offered on a silver platter, and we will turn it down? I don't think so... And the campaign needs to issue a statement to the grassroots immediately on their intentions.

Call 703-248-9115

This is the number for Nat HQ. We are only at 9% in NH, and 6% in Iowa; we need national exposure. Now, not later. 90% of the people I meet have no idea who he is or what he stands for; we can only change that by consistent national media coverage. Please call nat hq and let them know how you feel.

Please do NOT call HQ

What is this going to do except tie them up?

Here is the ad by Carol:

look...

I always argue against calling the HQ, and e-mailing them on just about every issue. I agree that we shouldn't waste their resources, but this is a little different. They have been told how important this is to address among us, and they need to understand how important this is.

The ad by Carol is nice, except that I would have preferred it gone to non-supporters. But that doesn't even come close to comparing what might happen with Beck.

I have watched Beck's interviews. He IS a fair interviewer and so this could be as great as the Google interview only with massive Republican exposure.

not a total loss

"What the hell were we constantly harassing Beck for...?"

Seems like a worthy end in itself, if you ask me. ;)

Trust

Maybe we need to trust Dr. Paul's judgement; he's well aware of Glenn Beck, and the O'Reilly types. Let this thread die, the good Dr. is wise, we don't need to worry about which shows he chooses to appear on.

1st rule of showbusiness

Always leave them wanting more

Ron Paul is running a VERY savvy campaign, people underestimate the brilliance of his campaigning knowledge.

I completely agree

The Ron Paul campaign is timing everything perfect. They are just starting to campaign hard. I think that the campaign realizes the importance of peaking right at the moment of the elections. Having your name at the top of the polls just opens them up to scrutiny.

holding off??

I don't understand how holding off until a later date can be a good thing. The campaign doesn't want to hold off on contributions until the Tea Party, and this is pretty much analogous. We need all of the publicity we can get, while we can get it. Each interview will spawn others.

'Cause there's a monster on the loose

100% agree

(nm)

I just emailed them again

Everyone please email and/or call the campaign ASAP to push this issue.

It could mean millions of more people exposed to Paul.

I think the campaign...

is holding off until right before February 5th. February 5th is when Ron Paul will need the most national attention. The voters in the early primaries/caucases usually depend on local media for their information on the candidates. I think it might be too early to do the Glenn Beck interview now, because most voters don't decide who their voting for until the days leading up until election day. 2 hours of national airtime right before Tsunami Tuesday would be a good move.

schedule it!

These things do not happen over night. They need to scheduled in advance.

In my opinion, they should get on the phone now and schedule the interview. Set it up for Jan 10th, just after the NH primary. Ride a strong showing there into the interview and set up a big day on Super Tuesday.

Skipping out on the whole interview and not going on this program is a huge mistake. Take the free air time, but take it when it matters. But you need to set it up so that people can relax and build excitement for the event.

he needs the attention NOW>.

he needs the attention NOW>. Paul is NOT a soundbyte candidate. People need to learn carefully about him before they are convinced. I had to and I know others probably feel the same. if he gets the exposure now people have time to learn about him and tell others.

Ron on with Chris & Glenn

I, too, have contacted the campaign about the need for getting on these two shows. Here, some of us are attacking or complaining about how the Main Stream Media closes doors on us, and when they are now inviting us -- the National Campaign is not responding quickly enough. This is a no brainer. Media runs in cycles; once you get on one major show, others will invite you; thus millions more hear your message. Everyone needs to take a moment and call National Headquarters. They need to hear from their base. I am sorry if all of this sounds negative, but with 30 days until Iowa, we need to jump kick every opportunity.

No downside to beck interview.

I'm not sure where the campaign has the idea Beck would slam Dr. Paul. I've listened to and watch Glenn for three year now and this just isn't his style. Yes he's made some unfortunate comments, and so has Dr. Paul. I do not believe Beck is a demagogue. He is just failing to understand a couple of issues. We need to stop making enemies of good people just because we don't always see eye to eye.
Have worked with Dr. Paul in '88, I've seen him interact with many LDS (like Beck). And to a person he charms them all, in person the sincerity is hard to miss. This hour interview I'm convince will turn out well. Do the interview we will gain supporters; don't do it, we will lose them.

The beauty of having Charles

The beauty of having Charles Goyette argue with Beck over Ron Paul is that it keeps viewers interested in Ron Paul, and they can see someone on television actually defending Ron Paul vigoriously.

They usually get smirky pundits, and Ron Paul must defend himself all alone.

Charles Goyette, unlike Pat Buchanan who comes with lots of baggage for voters, is fresh, honest, and likeable and smart. He supports the Paul campaign 100% every day on his radio show.

Its time that Mathews and Beck and the rest had to deal with another Pundit who is for Ron Paul. Its time Americans see that Ron Paul is not some lonely guy out there defending himself.

I hope the Campaign contacts Charles or Charles contacts the campaign...or you and me, lets contact them all.... we want to see Charles Goyette on Chris Mathews and Glenn Beck. Lets see that for a change.

Here is a link to Charles' radio show... http://www.1100kfnx.com/goyette.php

listen in from 7am to 9am weekdays Arizona time. Below, scroll down, I posted the television appearances made by Charles....

Is there any word?

On whether or not the campaign has even considered the offer or made a descion?

Thanks

He's a MORON, not a MORMON

Is he a mormon?

The More Ron Paul Puts Beck Off

the better.

Beck keeps talking about RP and drawing attention to him. People go elsewhere to learn about Ron Paul and he doesn't have to put up with Beck's BS face-to-face.

I heard Beck on the radio by accident last weekend. I was in the car and the scan landed on his program. Never heard it before. Guess who called in? MittROM!

I could hear Beck choking on Mitts pepperoni. He was sooo polite to his brother Mormon. "Oh yes Mitt...ahh I agree with you Mitt..."

I say USE that biaotch. Make him beg for Ron Paul. And the more we crank this out like this http://dailypaul.com/node/10366 the more ALL the msm spinners will be begging for the RONPHENOM

yea

what better way to learn about Ron Paul? Let people hear his name on the radio and they may or may not look him up when they get home. Him having a full hour interview on the 3rd most listened to radio show, all rebuplican audience, would not help Dr. Paul at all. I just don't get you people. I guess you really do not care if Ron Paul wins or not.

I did not know Glen Beck was a Mormon

Not that it matters at all to me, and you all probably knew that already but I just discovered that. I am all for freedom of religion it's a big part of what makes this country great. It could mean that he supports Mitt Romney though.
