HELP WIN VIRGINIA: REACH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VOTERS

I think this is a great idea! I've personally seen the effectiveness of candidate comparison sheets, and they work! They're GREAT at highlighting the staunch differences between conservative Ron Paul and the establishment on the other side.

Awesome work, def a great idea!

James is it okay if I include a link on this sticky so people can easily embed the national comparison sheet and post it on facebook walls?

Basecommand: absolutely were trying to promote this every way possible..

@Lightweis - I read your post and there is no point in bickering about this. Its a good flyer and you all did a good job with it. In fact, I might use it and I might try it as half-sheet.

Huckabee and McCain took the majority of votes in Virginia in 2008. Its going to be extremely close in Virginia.

2008 results
Ron Paul 21,999 4.50%
Mitt Romney* 18,002 3.68%

I might suggest sending out a press release for areas that you will canvass. This will work especially well in more rural areas who will be more anxious to just get anything to put on the air. Let them know you will be doing it and you will likely end up being interviewed which will get you a lot of exposure and also some more volunteers. This strategy has worked well in Virginia.

great idea - how should we go about doing that?

@thomas - To quote Dr Paul, "don't be so sensitive." It wasn't a "quip", .

don't sweat it - i wasn't being sensitive - just wanted to put that out there so we don't get a hundred other posts suggesting reformatting the sheet - we've already been through that type of give and go and what we have now has been a compromise between selecting issues, candidates and print size etc.... just wanted to nip it in the bud before another 20 suggestions came through

if you're in VA, we'd definitley like to discuss targeting specific areas if you know any of the statistics involved re: primary voters and concentration of GOP/ region

if you want to try and edit it down to a half sheet for your own use, i can email you the excel page directly so you can mess with it - we just wanted to post pdf format on the web so any romney/anti paul people weren't able to edit and redistribute easily... go ahead and email me directly if you want the excel sheet
