Dear Campaign: Steal Back The Narrative!

[Sola_Fide]

It's obvious that the establishment forces are using the narrative of "unelectability" against Ron, for whatever reason...foreign policy, libertarianism, newsletters, etc.


Steal the narrative from the establishment! Our number one attack against Romney should be that he is absolutely unelectable in 2012. There are many different ways we can make this case.

Thoughts?

We need a new campaign strategy for Florida Primary on January 31st. I completely understand we need to challenge Mitt Romney on
electability, but the general election polls show strength. Stealing the narrative back and clearly battling the old media hacks jobs on a fellow conservative.

Steal the narrative AND the election!

In the way of electability, I think Ron Paul already has it in the bag. This is a different spin relating to your post, but I wanted to get this out. Maybe it's time to incrementally ratchet up the pressure on the establishment with a "split the vote" threat potential. Even Sarah Palin so much as admitted that, by way of an independent candidacy bid, Dr. Paul could employ a very credible "either nominate me or Obama wins for sure" threat to the GOP. He would obviously split the vote and hold the GOP hostage. And, quite frankly, I think he should. This election is just too damned important. They will pull out any and all stops to win, as we've seen. We should use our entire arsenal. The world will thank you, indeed.​

And the GOP could very easily persuade the rest of the establishment to get onboard a Paul campaign, we know this!

Florida is a money-hole and resources are better spent somewhere else.

I agree change the narrative, but the other candidates are the wrong opponents-crappy policies need to be exposed to RP kryptonite. Tell the story of individual liberty, prosperity, and peace, this is Ron Paul. Keep finding new ways to say them, till enough people begin to ask...why not? Cognitive dissonance is too strong to overcome with logic- emotion and mirroring will work better.

if mitt romney actually got 6 more votes in 2008 and lost by 8 votes to rick santorum tuesday,
his campaign gained and lost voters almost evenly. what if the same holds for N.H on the 10th?
he might not do better there than he did four years ago. can we improve on things this time???

I doubt Ron Paul will spell the threat out explicitly: He doesn't need to, because they already fear we won't vote for any of their stooges if he doesn't win the nomination. Instead, I think the implied threat is, "Nominate me, or you'll get Obama again without me even lifting a finger...and then my son will win in 2016 anyway."

I think this is a really good point.

What about an advert that's really short. It shows a picture of Romney and Obama and a poll for Romney vs. Obama, followed by a picture of Paul and Obama and a poll for Paul vs. Obama. Then says "Vote Romney, Get Obama". There is at least one poll that shows this. Judging by how the media works, i think If you just keep showing it, it should become true. Sorry if this has already been suggested.
