And Be Prepared for the Ron Paul Onslaught
excerpt from article:
"There is no telling what cards the GOP contenders will have left to play post-Florida, and thus far no one is spending beyond the state except for one candidate. As it turns out, a consultant on the Republican side could take a lesson from none other than Rep. Ron Paul. "

If Dr. Paul
can just win a State or two on Super Tuesday, that sets him up to win a huge State in Texas shortly after. That will put him up with anybody in the delegate count.
It ain't over until Yogi Berra sings to a fat lady, or something like that.
Told you so
What a great article. I don't know how much of it is true, one poster said that Paul only has about 10 million in the bank. But even if it's only 2 million the point remains that Paul is putting emphasis on the later states. The long term.And who is surprised by this? Paul is always thinking long term, not only in the health and well being of our country, but his campaign as well. We have all seen how Paul meekly yet effectively betters his peers at the debates. So much so that some even laughed at him in the debates like 12 year olds. Is it any surprise that he would adopt a campaign strategy that is equally superior? No one knows what the campaign will end up doing but the fact that he's playing this long term leaves me VERY enthusiastic. Lets look at the facts, 6 people are already out of the race, Paul is still here. Others are broke, Paul is still here. I said from the beginning that anything is possible when it comes to Paul because he has the advantage of starting from an intellectual and morally superior position.
"He who laughs last..."
It's hard to keep a straight face after reading that piece from a pro, but I'm saving the big laugh for the convention when Dr. Paul WINS the nomination!
After that happens, it's going to be a real treat to watch the mainstream media spend 3 or 4 days trying to pick shoe leather out of their teeth! :o)
Great article! Thanks for posting!
What a great article
loved it!
Wooooo! Hooooooo!
If Rep. Paul had announced this strategy earlier, the other candidates wouldn't have spent themselves broke so soon.
More like $10 mill in the bank,
perhaps less, according to this analysis.

Make that a "Ronslaught"!
(^_^)
And a word is born!
Ronslaught. It's a keeper.
Interesting
Based on this article it makes me wonder, what if this has been the silent strategy of the Ron Paul campaign, because when the rest want to spend for super tuesday and beyond they will be broke. The good old doctor will just start spending like crazy buying ads, that will surely make a difference when no one else can afford to buy ads. I wonder.
I think we now know why Fox cancelled Presidential campaign
commercials during the Super Bowl:
So no Super Bowl -- no problem, Ron Paul was the only one who could afford it anyway.
interesting analysis
"prepare for the Paul campaign to unleash the dogs of war"
Hell Yeah! That's what I like to hear.
Don't give up hope, that is what the OM wants us to do. Keep up the fight. There is many a slip between a cup and a lip.
cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.

Now does anybody doubt the good DR?
I don't. The way I see it is that Ron knows what he is doing.

Would it really hurt that much to let us know this?
If this is his strategy, he really needs to give big hints to the supporters or else he won't get the money he needs to implement the plan.
I really don't think that the other candidates really take him seriously. In the other debate Romney said he didn't know where Ron Paul stood on some issue. So why is he so secretive of his strategy.
He should just come out and state his grand plan. Just state exactly what he plans on doing as a matter of fact. The MSM and other candidates wouldn't believe him anyway. So why the secrets? I thought that the way he started showing his fundraising numbers was the start of that kind of attitude.
Show people step by step how he can win and they'll send in all the money he will ever need. But if people don't understand the plan, you'll not only fool your oponents but you'll end up fooling the people you need to send in more money.
It's called a coup...
We have delegates lined up, that do not state they Ron Paul supporters across this country, so that when this thing goes to convention, when they become unbound to a candidate, they can immediately switch to support Dr. Paul.
Now, if he announced that he was performing a Goldwater style coup, don't you think it might hurt our chances?
The point is that it is happening. I personally know several undercover Ron Paul delegates. : ) Look at the total delegates, and tell me that we haven't/couldn't take that over.
This has been happening for a year now... You've been around for quite a while. You never saw the literature on this? A year ago many of these people signed up, joined their local parties, etc... And do not openly support Ron Paul for fear of being denied the right to be a delegate. Have some faith.
our guy is wicked smart.

THanks for posting this.
THanks for posting this.
Great article.
I've given up to the maximum allowed by FEC law but this interesting little story might entice a few others to max out too.
Well, if you want to give
Well, if you want to give more money give some to a friend to pay his rent and stuff..then he might have more money to send Ron. ;)
Maybe this and his new email
Maybe this and his new email will finally silence some of the whiners about the campaign's supposed stupidity.
Go Ron! I always had faith in ya, brother!
He's catching on
I'm telling ya!
