Yes.Would you mind if I gave some reasons not to compete with the Mike Huckabee campaign?
1.) Competing with Mike Huckabee supporters only makes them more aggressive
which makes them contribute more to Mike Huckabee.
2.) When you compete with someone it appears that consider them to be a threat.
3.) We have more important things to worry about. Dr. Paul has enough money
right now. He needs us to use our time and energy to help spread the word.
My opinion on the Media Spin of Mike Huckabees fundraiser?
They're using us as tools to fight with each other. A fight between two campaigns is good news fodder to feed the cows. Do you really believe that they expect us to let these things slide without getting all flustered?
I say that we should think about how we're being manipulated.
Ignore it all.
We need somebody to type up a Press Release to all major media outlets about the end result. If the campaign did it, it would be even better.
Their grassroots campaign tried and failed to top the Tea Party, might as well rub it in their faces. If we're lucky, the headlines will read "Huck's 'army' fails to top The R[evol]ution."
This press release needs to be sent to EVERY local paper in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Just my two cents.

I agree with Tim, but if someone can document the data presented by Huck's people and compare them to our numbers that would be good for the record. You don't know if we may need it.
Huckabee is the one that is crazy read this from his forum site.
Endorsments
"The following have endorsed Mike Huckabee and the Holy Crusade for the extermination of Muslims."
Hey Guys,
I'm as disgusted with the way the MSM has handle this as you are (well, maybe not quite as disgusted). In the few interviews I did I always stressed that we were not competing with you guys and that no campaign has or will come close to what you've been able to accomplish. You are on a level all by yourselves. I also said that I everyone underestimated the strength of Dr. Paul's campaign.
When it comes down to comparison Huckabee supporters as a whole are not heavy web-users. I know dozens and dozens of Huckabee supporters and I'm one of the few that spends much time online for politics. They are generally older and less likely to even understand how a "moneybomb" works. You should have seen me trying to explain it to our Meetup Group.
Furthermore, every single moneybomb to date (that I'm aware of) has fallen short of their goal -- even your monster $6 million haul. We started on Dec17th and only had two days of promotion before the Christmas blackout (our website traffic dropped 60% December 19th and then another 60% on December 20th). Most people have little money to spare at this time of year. All-in-all we're happy for anything we get.
Warm Regards,
