Post of the day. I am convinced beyond any doubt that Ron was running this campaign as an "educational" campaign and nothing more. When fundraising and support swelled, Snyder, Benton, and the other "leaders" of the campaign had no clue what to do. That this entire campaign was poorly...

Read the below passage I posted this on Super Tuesday, it was completely overlooked. People might want to look at it again. The following story is a shocker. If officially verified before the November election, it would surely end McCain's chances. But there is only one way it can be...

Then for a scenario like this, what is the point of participating in a caucus or voting in a priimary? So much for Democracy, huh?

Help me out on that one. We know Romney won Nevada, and Ron came in second. Would they therefore not go ahead and re-distribute his delegates by the new percentages for each remaining candidate given his elimination? That would obviously give a big boost to Ron, effectively making him the...

Has anyone seen the following on an internet site? This is the first I am hearing of it. Jack Wheeler, back in action! The following story is a shocker. If officially verified before the November election, it would surely end McCain's chances. But there is only one way it can be...

LOL, exactly. I think he should carefully explain (1) what the political definition of "empire" is (2) give historical examples of empire that MOST people, with any reasonable level of post high school education, should pick up on (3) then demonstrate how we fit that definition Folks, we...

Wow, Arizona (McCain's state) and California that high? And what objective evidence are you basing your opinion on? If we placed 3rd in either one of those states, that would be HUGE.

I've said it about 10 times in threads over the past two months, and I will continue to say it, even though no one wants to hear it. Ron is NOT a professional campaigner or politician. I know people like that, but unfortunately, you do need the professional campaigning part if you are going...

No one is saying Gary North is perfect. And yes, he has missed on several forecasts and issues. But you should separate the ideas from the man. Is what he is saying valid or not? Make your own determination.

Here is Gary North's take on what can be done at this point. You may get other ideas from it. Phase 2 of Ron Paul's Political Strategy Gary North January 9, 2007 In Phase 1 of Ron Paul's political strategy, he achieved national name recognition among conservatives and libertarians, raised...

Unfortunately, an educational campaign and $2 will only get you a cup of coffee. For the past 25 YEARS, I have endlessly heard this cry from Libertarians and others that we desperately need to "educate" the people. Frankly, I really don't see that much progress has been made in the so-called...

The more things change, the more they remain the same Excellent post. It saddens me to see the same mistakes being made today as they were in 1984 and 1988. Folks, you have to understand something about Ron. He does not believe in, nor is he comfortable with "professional campaigning."...

Excellent analysis. As I stated, I worked on his campaign in 1984. What many posters have stated over the past several months are things I saw back then - he does well one on one, giving speeches, and with small groups. In formal debates, he falters badly. He did the same things back then...
