Local News cites Mitt, John, Mike, and RUDY; *NOT* RP!!!
Submitted by missdavenport on Wed, 01/16/2008 - 09:46
Many people on here actually thought OM would mention that RP beat out Rudy. Wrong.
My local news mentioned Romney, McCain, Huckliebee, and GHOULIANI. Not ONE WORD about Dr Paul.
Please tell me again how this was "good" for RP?
I don't see much realistic hope for the future of the campaign, if RP doesn't pull AT LEAST 2nd in one of the states before Super Tuesday.
Okay bring on the rebuttals if you want. But I fail to see how any headway is being gained - it just is not materializing. And it's needed NOW - not later - if there is any chance at the nomination.
People will not commit to vote for someone who is not gaining ground. It just is not logical to expect them to do so.
That's my HO anyway. It's a travesty, but that's how I see it.

Have i missed something?
Have i missed something? Hasn't the MSM ignored Dr. Paul since the start? Didn't we have to fight for every second of airtime? So since they are continuing to do exactly what they have been doing your upset?
Forget MSM this battle will be won by the people nothing less nothing more.
I predicted 3 weeks ago Dr. Paul would win or place second in NV then we will see action trust me.
BTW this is still up for grabs for Dr. Paul and all the rest however keep this in mind
MCCAIN IS BROKE
HUCK IS BROKE
RUDY IS ALMOST BROKE
THOMPSON IS ALMOST BROKE
Money will keep us in this believe that and we will prevail.

That man is Dr. Ron Paul

Tactics will likely change anyway
It is true there is no real leader in the Republican race. And certain candidates will drop out. And also true that this is about delegates, because our system is about delegates. I am willing to accept that with continued hard work, we Could win by being the last one standing around. That is in fact a valid tactic for winning. I also am aware that certain people May stop at nothing to stop us.
In my fantasy, we are fully prepared for the next bloody tactics; whatever sophisticated game theory they have planned.
I have a couple suggestions and then i will greatly limit my exposure here for a couple weeks. Too much work.
1. Redirect discussion to a much better understanding of how we actually get delegates / votes that count. IMO, maybe that is a weak spot of understanding.
2. For now, you COULD tweak the rules more strongly against any doubting comments. Just delete them to some dump somewhere. He who owns can change the rules.
3. Take one day and disable comments altogether - invite the top three - five veterans of campaigns to submit their observations on how we can do better. Force us to READ and not write for 24 hours. It would be like an Information Bomb.
I also have enjoyed the positive reports from the most active people. I could never be one of those cuz i am disabled, but i would still appreciate the positive progress reports.
Thank you. I am off.
Ron Paul 2008
Stop Being So Negative!
You're stupid if you still listen to the MSM..... Why don't you go out like the rest of us and DO SOME WORK for RP instead of bringing everybody down with your depressing posts! Keep your depressing thoughts to yourself or I WILL believe you are a troll and WILL flag your posts!
NONE BUT PAUL!
It's not about me listening to OM, it's about potential voters
It's not about me listening to OM, it's about potential voters who do not get to hear his message because TV is their only source of information.

In the darkest of moments...
LIBERTY FINDS LIGHT! Giving in to the opposition is not an option. Stay the course and bring your friends and family with you!
Poor Guy
Just concentrate on supporting Dr. Paul by talking to people in person, not about what the stupid news channels say. They never mentioned he won most of the straw polls in the nation.
Ron Paul shattered fundraising records, yet no one heard about it.
Ron Paul could come in first second or 3rd and you will probably not hear much about it either. We need to do the work, the media won't.

Hey Miss!!

This is a DELEGATE RACE now.... and Ron Paul delegates ARE THE MOST COMMITTED!!!
Neveda is Ron Paul territory... Sound money... gov off your back...
Heck in Neveda they have LEGAL prostitution... WITHOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONDUCTING RAIDS!!!
I'm pretty sure ole boy Muck Huck would change that QUICK!!
Dr. Ron Paul is doing VERY VERY WELL... CONSIDERING........ WHO/WHAT we are up against!!
ALL THESE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN answered - I am rejouvenating..
a post from last night about WHY this was good.... read all the comments - they are very valid and answer your question here about why last nights performance was VERY GOOD...
Positve from local news
politepaulite
Our newspaper in Lake Charles, La. also ran standard AP press coverage without Paul. However we contacted the editor and said we were aware that Murdock and Fox did not discuss Ron Paul. But since our newspaper was locally owned, we held them to a higher standard. He said he assumed that AP was not biased.. So they are running their own piece about ALL running for president on Sunday. He thanked me for bringing it to their attention. PLEASE POLITELY contact your local news and explain that you hold them to a higher standard
politepaulite
Thanks for the advice - I tried once, but will do so again. =)

Total Vote Count -- Combined IA, NH, and MI Results
Posted by Nick Bradley at January 16, 2008 08:08 AM
Here are the combined vote totals for IA, NH, and MI:
Romney - 443,139 Total Votes – 36.89%
McCain - 361,546 Total Votes – 30.10%
Huckabee - 207,308 Total Votes – 17.26%
Paul - 84,554 Total Votes – 7.04%
Giuliani - 50,925 Total Votes – 4.24%
Thompson - 49,198 Total Votes - 4.10%
Hunter - 4,567 Total Votes - 0.38%
Paul is in a solid fourth, increased his percentage lead over Giuliani by 300% in Michigan, and should stay in fourth through SC and NV, where Thompson and Giuliani will close the gap in each state. In other news, the latest CNN/Politico/LA Times California poll has Paul at 8%, with no candidate garnering more than 20% in the poll. The poll had a huge margin of error (6%), which makes Paul and four other candidates technically tied in the Golden State.
Romney - 443,139; Paul - 84,554 (gulp) Like David when he
Romney - 443,139; Paul - 84,554 (gulp) Like David when he went against Goliath, we need a miracle from God Almighty.
I certainly am dreaming of and praying and hoping for one such miracle...

Again, the media...
isn't going to help Paul or be repsonsible for him winning. It will be responsible for Mitt or McCain winning. Only you can help Paul, the media clearly will not and that should be abundandtly obvious by now. This morning Tim Russert said there are "five viable candidates" in the gop. Do you think he meant Paul at the exclusion of Guiliani? Hell no, even though Paul has beaten him 2 out of 3 AND came very close the third time. The more you focus on the media the more upset you will get. This is a cause, liberty, not a person like Paul. Im almost maxed out on contributions and will donate my last thousand on MLK even though Paul probably wont win. I'm not at all discouraged. If we don't win this election we need to make such an impact that we can run someone else just as good with the same message and commitment to the Constitution. Remember, the world doesn't end on Feb. 5th or next November but what we do TODAY will go a long way towards restoring the Republic.
shut up

Obviously you did not read other comments I've made about my sincerity.
I "trusted" the DP community to know what I'm about. Maybe I was wrong.
I do in fact trust that Michael knows my sincere desire to see only good happen to Ron Paul.

Vote RON PAUL 2008

Where's your manners?
Vote RON PAUL 2008
Don't be discouraged! We have to change our approach!
Just expecting the news to mention Ron Paul when you know the man is blackballed by the executives is just naive. We need to contact local reporters with news...feed them info. It will get in.
We got the front page in Pensacola!
http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AI...
Realize even in the stage we're in, 6-7% represents a large block of voters and that means Ron Paul commands respect. We will continue to grow...with the message...the economy...the Bush doctrine....we will grow!
Even as we are, we have the power to swing an election! That's power... and they know it!
So don't worry, there's more than one way to skin a cat...

Who is Ron Paul? I am Ron Paul! We are Ron Paul!

Don't forget, this is not a game.
We are here to make our voices heard, and we are running for the presidency.
The word is getting out, but the corruption in our government is bigger than all but the "greatest conspiracy theorists" have thought.
What can we do? How do slaves fight against their masters?
Rise up, refuse to play the game their way, sit on the wrong seat in the bus.
Civil disobedience.
If you see a lions teeth, don't mistake it for a smile.
and go the wrong way,

in case nobody remembers...that was from the movie Midnight Express...you are going the wrong way, Billy Ray!

Logic Should Tell us that
their is only one course of action!
http://www.dailypaul.com/node/26421
6% = 55,000 votes!
that is significant...RP has a plan. Do some research on how he beat the GOP before in Texas. You will be pleasantly surprised. He is shrewd, smart, and calculating. Don't mistake his kindness for weakness. You don't spend 18 years in Washington without learning a few things. Again, 6% in Michigan meant what, 55,000 votes. He did what julieannie and tomason did COMBINED. Have heart. Stay with us. We need you!
Screw the media! Remember Ghandi! (How's that for passiveness?)
