How to Raise Poll Numbers in NH

I tried to email these suggestions to the campaign but no one has their email posted and the contact form only allows 1500 characters.
 
I recall reading somewhere that they have 10 different radio ads... not true?

I have heard at least 6 different ones here in SC... and I don't listen to the radio that often.

The one with the concerned woman talking about the falling dollar was fantastic.

HQ seems to be run by amateurs. I hate to say it, but these people probably had no idea that Ron actually stood a chance. And out of loyalty, Ron never replaced them with more professional people that can make these decisions. Ron's campaign has been primarily us, I hate to say it. That's a good pat on our backs. I just wish Ron would hire a professional.
That's how I feel. There is one word to describe the way this campaign has been run, and that's AMATEUR.

If we lose - it will be because of the national campaign - NOT US.

We have the message, we have the grassroots support and we even have the money. There is NO EXCUSE for the national campaign not to spend the money to hire BIG GUN PROFESSIONALS who have run national campaigns and won!

The ineptness of this campaign is KILLING ME!!

Please tell me they have pulled that gawdawful waste of money TV commercial they rolled out last month!
Seriously, the campaign staff is doing such a bad job, I feel like asking for a refund. But I wouldn't say it would be the campaign's fault if we lost, because the entire establishment is so against us--everyone from the media, to the military-industrial complex, big pharma, the big banks, etc. If we DO win, it will be because of Ron Paul's message and our grassroots effort; the official campaign will deserve ZERO credit.
 
Ok made it fit the contact form by pasting just what is below.

1) HE NEEDS TO SPEND MORE TIME HERE. For Ron Paul to do well, he needs to stop into every restaurant, every barber shop, and every grocery store. That's how Buchanan won NH, and that's the only way that Ron Paul can pull it off here.

2) HOUSE PARTIES, HOUSE PARTIES, HOUSE PARTIES. NH residents take their historic role in picking presidents very seriously. They are accustomed to, if they are so inclined, being able to meet literally every single candidate, and I don't mean meet them at a pre-organized rally. I mean meet them at house parties organized by their supportive neighbor. Hillary Clinton is here all the time, and she has her NH supporters organizing house parties for her to stop by and meet 15-30 people at a time. That's how NH is won, more than any other single strategy.

3) STOP SENDING HUGE MULTI-PAGE MAILERS I keep seeing these huge, 15-page mailers. This is a tremendous waste of donor dollars going right into the trash. Send two-sided mailers instead.

4) CHANGE THE RADIO ADS FREQUENTLY The campaign has been cramming the airwaves with two commercials for the past three weeks or so.

5) MOST IMPORTANTLY, BE BOLD IN DRAWING DISTINCTIONS. – According to polls the Iraq war is the most important issue in New Hampshire and immigration is the most important issue in Iowa.

I'm not saying that HQ has done everything right, but it's hard to criticize them when I don't have all the facts. For those that are frustrated, can you please list several things that you would like them to do?
 
Ron Paul has been in New Hampshire the past few days. Should he skip the Univision debate and the Iowa debate to stay in New Hampshire. Buchanan won there, but he lost the nomination. Should Ron Paul neglect Iowa, neglect Nevada, neglect South Carolina? Everyone loved those mailers when they first came out and said they looked pretty sharp. Now we've all turned against them and apparently we can see inside people's houses because we know for a fact that people aren't reading them. I do have a little beef with the frequency of ads though. In Iowa, I've heard 5 different radio ads. On tv, I used to see ads on a regular basis. Now, I don't see any. Ivers said they were getting some new ones on soon so I really hope he's right. I don't think the campaign is inept and I won't claim to know better than they do. I also won't point the finger at them and predict a loss for us as some are already doing. I just hope they up the frequency of the ads and soon! I emailed them a suggestion to do one on border security in Iowa. That would go over well as it's a big issue here and the frontrunners are very weak on this issue.
 
I'm just going by what people in New Hampshire are saying, I'm in Oregon so I just have to trust the people who live there know what they are talking about.

No matter what???

No matter how much evidence piles up to the contrary???

With all due respect - that is the type of reasoning I'd expect from someone who drives around enjoying the Sean Hannity radio show with a W04 sticker on the back of their vehicle.

We have a small window of opportunity - If we identify problems that will more than likley sink us - we need to make it known!

People who are already supporters like them because they care enough to read the whole thing. Undecided people see it as junk mail that they don't even bother to read.

I did put in my suggestion. No, I won't claim to know better than they do because I have no experience running a campaign. I don't see how this makes me a neo-con. And no, I won't sit here and say that they're the reason we've lost when we haven't lost! There's still a month to go and we've been on the upswing. There's a lot to be positive about. It's good that people are giving suggestions to the campaign. I did the same!

How do you know this? Did you talk to all of the undecided people that received one?
