A blimp is a BAD IDEA - here is why

That was the point, name recognition.

I'm glad I was part of that too.

When I went to the debate in S.C. it was all anyone was talking about at the bars. It was the first thing I saw driving across the bridge. When I stopped in at the gas station, restaurant, convenience, etc. people would look at my decked out RP jeep and say "That's the guy on the blimp, right?" And it would lead to an exchange of ideas and literature. In my experience, money well spent. If for nothing other than firing up the grassroots. Which led to more money-bomb donations.
Hell of a lot more mileage than a Santorum attack ad in a state where the top two were Ron and Mitt.

I don't fear the blimp or much of anything really. I just get disappointed when I see people take unnecessary risks that jeopardize the future of the country and even the world.

Um, Matt, the Hindenburg disaster didn't even burn down Lakehurst.

And, uh, while you weren't looking they stopped putting hydrogen in airships, too...

But don't despair. At least your logical fallacy is pretty damned funny. So, you're good for something.

Segmenting and targeting a custom tailored message to supervoters is the best way to achieve votes for Ron.

A supervoter is someone who has voted in the last few elections and is VERY likely to vote in this upcoming primary.

this is where basic understanding of marketing would have served you well with regard to Ron's campaign.

In my experience with speaking to people at Ron Paul events, many people who were there were NOT people who voted over and over and over again for the same damned thing (expecting different results). They were not typical Republicans. They needed to be reached in unconventional ways.

Ron attracted people who were sick and tired of the status quo. The ideal marketing campaign would have attracted more of THOSE kind of people....the non-voter who felt his voice didn't matter anymore; the apathetic non-voter. Not the "supervoter" who would vote for Team Red's candidate no matter who he or she would be.

Grassroots built a brand. We owned the internet. We owned social media. We reached the disaffected. We raised funds for a candidate like no other before.

RonPaul,Inc., Jesse Benton, Teh Collinz, et tal sold us down the river for their future gains. The campaign was winnable. Where the load was dropped fell only on RonPaul, Inc. They dropped the ball when a score was needed most. They and NO others. Not AF or many others on these forums. Deals were made. We were not privy to them.

It's funny. You can't seem to explain anything in your own words without hiding behind a 90-minute video or some "logicalfallicy" nonsense.

I don't have time to be longwinded especially when I can simply post other stuff easily.

Did you watch the video I posted?

And very few of them vote... the ones that do are not nearly enough to win a Republican nomination. Which is why you must target likely Republican voters.

I miss the good old days when it was just good old fashioned representation of, by and for the people. You know? You liked a feller and figured he'd represent you well and so you sent him to represent you. Now we have political marketing. It has completely flip flopped. And we wonder why things keep getting worse. It's like American Idol up in this biatch. We have politicians standing in front of cameras sucking on super big gulps after speeches and endorsements like it's the Pepsi 500 or something. You know how the Nascar driver always takes a big drink of his sponsors product after he wins a race and they have the camera on him? Same thing. Freakin nutz...

What does HQ have to do with anything? Run your own ads through a PAC locally and get local meetup supporters to pool their money together.

There! You see? Don't you understand, cajun?

Matt haz mad skillz - and HIS time is far too precious for HIM to waste any time trying to convince YOU of what HE wants YOU to think.
Instead, it is YOUR responsibilty to do it for him - it is up to YOU to spend YOUR time convincing yourself of what HE wants YOU to think.

And if you don't - well, that just goes to show what an obstinately ignorant and unsophistiated rube you are ...
