I did not see this.. Where did you see it?

i forget the exact post but i saw that as well. Something along the lines of... needing at least a million and he said some expect to get 2 million.

 

[Aratus]

he did. he also thought ron could win this. if you are on FB you can go to the wall. the postings were coming quickly up.

Damn, i missed this. That's great that he understands the importance of social fundraising, but I'm hesitant to think that he's going to be able to do something about it. Hey, it was worth the try.. I guess we can just cross our fingers, since the other idea was suppressed for personal reasons.

Might have been the first question I asked. I can't remember.

you could go there, find one of the facebook threads, and lay out the gist of your idea.

at one point someone was discussing how facebook can be utilized. with money transfering,

your idea does need good firewalls. its a hyperbola of people exploding into each other's space.

Why did a moderator close that thread and the initial thread? I can't see what's wrong with them.

I bet we can explode that.

This is great. His comment to something I wrote about preparing for overwhelming success:

"Again, you are so insightful. This has been the topic of a number of memos recently. And you are right that many people are prepared to fail and to lose but are not prepared to win. Just today, I urged the campaign to be set up with cell phone text messaging so we can reach you all quickly in the post Iowa storm."

Was he talking about people inside the campaign preparing to fail? That would explain the discouraging language. Great to know

no that's not what he was referring to. In context, the quote was talking about grassroots supporters.

Well they need to man up. As we go into the final stretch, cautious optimism is mandatory.

What I took from it was that us, RP's supporters, are mentally prepared if we do fail because we have seen it happen before. However, we have not had a victory like this before, and as a result it would be utopia for many of us. I am certain that when it happens, many of his supporters, will not know what to do with themselves, especially those from 2008, because they saw RP fail. Because RP did not do too well, it sucked out a lot of their enthusiasm due to their disappointment, therefore they are now being cautious because they do not want to experience the feelings of failure and disappointment again.

I prefer to hope for the best, and expect the worst.

 

[Aratus]

i think he has heard about the PPP poll that has ron and newt inside such a tight margin of error. earlier i
was looking to see if somebody had placed the PPP poll results up on his wall! yesterday's chat was great.

 

[Aratus]

we are building on everything done in 2007 and 2008 let alone everything since then.
its sorta frightening to be now going to where we hoped we'd be then. this all is new.
