I'm with Rancher. We've both been doing our part in the GOP conventions....But last I checked, this was a Ron Paul forum, not a GOP forum. Ron Paul, who never once rolled in the muck. Ron Paul, who's made it clear that he will not support a pro-war GOP candidate. Ron Paul, who's good buddies...

McCain signed up for matching funds. That entails a spending limit of $54 million. Now he's backing out of matching funds. The trouble is, the lawyers say he has no right to do so without the agreement of the FEC, and particularly not since he has already benefited: 1) He took out loans using...

Thanks Ricochet, I think that about puts this idea to bed.

Nobody's saying he's not a citizen.

That's one side of the argument. From wiki: One side of the argument interprets the Constitution as meaning that a person either is born in the United States or is a naturalized citizen. Thus, to be a "natural born citizen," a person must be born in the United States; otherwise, they are...

This is not as simple as it might seem at first, and some inaccurate rumors have flown around the Net, so hear me out. A person can be a citizen of the United States without being eligible to be President. Schwarznegger, for example, since he was born a non-citizen. The Constitution says: No...

Looks like a rhododendron to me.

Maybe it's a good idea to stop insisting on complete agreement, and partner up with anybody who's willing to restore civil liberties and keep us out of aggressive wars. Sorta like Paul is buddies with Kucinich.

Which helps answer "Why Obama beat us," but not "What Obama did better," which would have the same answer no matter who came out ahead. Probably every campaign did something better than us, and something else worse than us. Reading comprehension seems somewhat lacking on this thread. Just to...

Note that the title of the thread is "what Obama did better than us," not "why Obama beat us."

Y'all have got to be kidding me Do you guys have the faintest clue what Net Neutrality is? It's the idea that internet packets all get passed through without prejudice. No filtering, no charging extra to visit certain websites, no special high-speed routing for FOXNews.com, none of that. If...

Not sure why the dupe thread but....of course I understand Obama's free media coverage, the point is to quit whining about it and figure out what we can do better next time. With the media not on our side, it's even more important to get maximum bang for the buck with our campaigning. We...

Granted the media is not on our side. All the more reason to use the most effective tools available. We didn't do that.

Meiun, my last post wasn't directed at you. You made some good points. We probably do need to frame the message differently.

Then give up. If Obama wins only because he's an establishment guy, and there's nothing better we could have done, then nothing will ever change. Or, you can look at how other campaigns organize, and see what sort of tactics we might pick up from them. Not what message, just what tactics. I...
