20 million dollar warchest = 4th place finishes

It is not fixed. It is just made up of a very retarded voter population. My guess is that 95% of the people that voted today didn't even bother to look up what the candidates stances' were on certain issues. Oh and if money = success, Ross Perot would have been a two term president.

MSM Blackout causing many people to think that he has dropped out = 4th place finishes.

I truly believe this. I also think that maybe people didn't do enough. I don't know, I'm not going to get down just yet... I'm in this until the end.

But I think that going against the MSM is going to be a battle that will take longer than an election cycle to win.

Oh it just makes me so mad!!!! :mad: I hate the lame stream media!
 
what is this "fixed" and "blame the MSM" nonsense? are the masons behind this? please....

the fact is American politics moves at a glacial pace- that's how the Founders wanted it. you can''t expect people to do a 180 (especially with all the captivating news about Britney). this is the start of the trend- not the end.

Trying to figure out what we and the campaign did wrong is a lot more productive than whining about some elite conspiracy. It's not like Ron Paul is the last pro-liberty candidate that will ever run.

The campaign needed to spend a big chunk of the $20 million on national TV ads, starting in December. This would have driven up Ron Paul's national poll numbers, which would have generated MSM coverage, improved his chances in the early states, attracted more supporters and donors, and made it harder for the MSM to marginalize him.

Like it or not, if people don't see a presidential candidate regularly on TV, they assume that he can't win and the "wasted vote" syndrome kicks in.

Double digit national poll numbers prior to Iowa and beyond would have made a huge difference, and we had enough money to make it happen. The campaign made a reasonable but in my view incorrect choice to invest the money in direct mail and other targetted media. In the absence of national MSM coverage and national advertising, the "wasted vote" syndrome negated the effectiveness of those forms of outreach, rendering them largely ineffective.
 
It comes down to your average voter not knowing who Ron Paul is. It's quite simple, actually.

Its not the fault of the media, the message, RP supporters, the elite, the millions, the campaign, the weather…

It’s islamphobia, stupid …proof is before your eyes when McCain is winning. Obviously, these voters chose to ignore the problems at home with illegal immigration, economy, gas prices, housing collapse, inflation, taxes…

Fear took over sound judgement.

It's funny a girl in my European history class kept telling em Paul dropped out last week. It's funny my instructor was hoping Ron Paul would have came up big because he figured it'd be a cakewalk for the democrats if he won, I argued that Paul is nthe only one that can beat the democrats and I got laughed at.
 
I think it's time that we challenged every damn vote in every state. We gave RP the funds to do it. Use a couple million and do at least 10 recounts.

Or we can all go quietly into the mist. The democratic recount actually produced significant discrepencies, but was not completed, so those inconsistencies are written off. The Republican recount, they had many days to handle the ballotts. There is evidence of broken chains of custody. Will any of this fix our problem, probably not. I say you sometimes have to try, eventually a mistake will be uncovered.

I don't know what this average american is, but I continue to underestimate the people I come in contact with.

yeah but if/when Romney hangs it up, we should be beneficiaries of some of his delegates where we took 2nd behind him. Montana, Maine, Nev, possibly Alaska....Romney people and the Huck and McCain camps have created a lot of bad blood against each other.....that could work in our favor.
