Economic Advisor Role Change

[DocMoose]

Does anyone know what the deal is with the Economic Advisor for the campaign? First it was announced that Luskin was in the role, and now a day later it's Schiff. Seems like it would be to our advantage to just come out and say what happened, avoiding rumors and such.

The announcement I saw indicated that Schiff was being added as a 2nd economic advisor.

Thanks for the info! That make sense, and makes me feel a bit better. But the announcement I read was certainly somewhat unclear:

"ARLINGTON, VA – Newly appointed Ron Paul economic advisor, Peter Schiff, issued the following statement about Dr. Paul’s proposed comprehensive economic revitalization plan."

I guess you could take that to mean "An Economic Advisor", but it would have helped to clarify his role as an addition, and not a replacement. Perhaps this is only needed for campaign newbies such as myself. (And as we all know, I'm not alone in my naivete)

Big financial names add weight to the candidacy and, I assume, can speak as surrogates for campaign on cable business channels. The more the merrier.

These moves are so late in the campaign I wonder what the idea behind them exactly was.

I didn't realize they were only allowed to have one advisor.

I really do wish this happened a month or two ago, but oh well.

The notion that Dr. Paul even needs economic "advisors" seems slightly silly to me, as he probably knows more than all other candidates combined.

He can't be everywhere at once but those like Don and Peter can say the same thing in different places.

Don't presidents have at least 5 financial advisors? I would think that Dr. Paul needs to be building his team and we are seeing it.

Remember, this is the way Ron has always won. He waits for the other candidates to spend all their money and make fools out of themselves in public then he POUNCES and wins big. He gets voted back into office in his Congressional district by 70+% every single election using this method. Plus, think about all the news about the other candidates being broke. Ron has Millions in the bank and we are sending him more and more every day. Not to mention the fact Dr Paul says over and over that he is going for a brokered convention which means he isnt trying to win first place in the beginning. It will be the states AFTER Feb 5th that he will bring out the big guns for.

With these guys onboard, maybe they can come up with some "elevator pitch" type explanations of RP's economic policies that resonate with the average joe.

I talked to Jeff Frazee the other day and asked him about them. They are BOTH economic advisers to the campaign.
