UPDATE: What if we organize a debate?

You invite the nominees for the D, L, G, C, and R parties, webcast it, youtube it. Set up a true format where everyone gets equal time.

It's long overdue.

Maybe we should set up a debate with Ralph Nader

like this idea. Maybe Charles Goyette would be willing to ask the questions.
I was just listening to the 911 interview he did and it was very interesting.

Bump for update

What about holding it at the march?

see Ron debate Kucinich.

I think it would be facinating to see two intelligent, friendly men discuss politics from the left side vs. the right side

Would be especially interesting if you could bring in some real thinkers like Kucinich and Nader.

In preparation for the Convention, We could host the debate here in St Paul.

Leave Ron Paul out of the title. This group is not a Ron Paul group. We are the PEOPLE.

Then have the debate with ALL the candidates, not just the Republicans. Any viable candidate with say $1million gross raised.

Give them all the same amount of time.

all the 3rd parties nominate one candidate to represent them. A voter poll(s) will decide the winner to be cast under their party's ballot. Winner take all. This can be sponsored by C-Span and hosted by the League of Women Voters.

Why not have a debate on live television, maybe pbs,etc. or the internet, sponsored by google. of the questions that have already been asked. Have a well known nonbiased celebrity or panel of them. Jay Leno, Caferty,Tucker,etc. Forgive my forgetfulness, Who was the wealthy gentleman that interviewed Ron Paul and was totally taken by him.However the panel or host can ask Ron Paul live, the questions of all previous debates asked to all the other candidates but not to Ron Paul. Questions on all the issues. Play back all the other candidates responses then have Ron Paul respond to the question and or the answers the other candidates gave.
We would want to have a mass coverage of advertising for this event. Internet advertising, communicate with all local meetup groups so they can advertise locally and at the state level. A nationally known host or hosts is very important. This event needs to be professionally produced and directed.
I believe the people would jump on board with this idea. Lets critique this and get goin with it. We need to have it before the march on washington.
The title of the debate can be "We the people" or "Ron Paul still standing", something along that line. I think all of you get the idea.
LETS DO THIS!

Fortune Favors the Bold

After the Texas Primary, they should debate. Alan Keyes is sort of wacky. Also, you would get two guys who both respect freedom, but have different view points about it.

He has nothing to gain and everything to lose from more debates. The more he talks the more fiscal conservatives realize he's a moron when it comes to economy, the more religious conservatives realize he's full of bs, and the more independents will compare his voting record to his stances, leading them to the inevitable conclusion "he ain't no maverick."

Huck might jump at the chance for some more air time... but McCain? NEVER. No McCain? No Press. No Press? No Joe Average.

you would need to at best bribe the other candidates to appear. They simply won't. If RP were a third party candidate, there would be a fighting chance, but standing rules are that if a third party candidate is invited to a debate, the D and R candidates disinvite themselves.

A better way to spend money is to pay someone to run a national phone poll asking people who they would vote for in the group, {Obama, McCain, Paul}, or {Hillary, McCain, Paul}. If the numbers are big, run it in some small media if you have to, but shoot for big media, too, and post to a news aggregator like digg or, better, Drudge Report.

If the numbers suck, then we hit the campaigning harder and try again in a month. We'll get tons of demographic data, too, be able to send word back to meetup groups on changing strategies -- do we target message with economy, or iraq war? etc, etc.

But the prerequisite to this, too, is that Paul runs 3rd party, or else you cannot justify those matchups.

The crazy thing is, that from my local meetup I knew a guy who ran polls, and I pitched the idea to him, but it was quashed by the meetup organizer, who wanted to use the guy to run phone ads instead. What an effing waste.

a mock debate at the march, with cardboard cutouts of the demagogue's with audio of there statements at the previous so called "debates" but this time our man gets to talk. This is the closest we can get to a debate.

Why is the media using Ron Paul to their benefit. They know his supporters go wild on positive articles or honest coverage. Don't they realize thousands more people go to sites or watch their shows when this happens. Some small radio or tv station has to see an opportunity in this. Paul can debate Keyes for all i care.

Maybe, but I think our best bet to continue the revolution is to become a delegate. You can also volunteer at the convention.
