lol, before their "Money Bomb" yesterday, Huckabee's website had them at about $3.5Million toward a Feb 5 goal of $10Million... going nowhere fast, today they're at $600k toward a $1Million goal... WTF?!

But on a serious note, we're still $3M short of Ron's goal... let's not force him to re-set the goal posts! Keep giving! :cool:
 
Well, unfortunately they are copying us again. We had a $23 million goal--now down to 8.4 with only 3 days left and yes, falling short.
 
we never had an official 23 million goal. the goal has always been 8.4 on the website
 
Analysis indicates that about $1-1.5 million is available per week. Many early contributors are maxed out due to the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold bill that trampled the Bill of Rights.
 
The problem is that many supporters aren't giving now because they don't see where $17 million went in the 4th quarter and they don't see any strategy from HQ.
 
both of you are pretty much wrong. I believe only 5 to 7% of Ron Paul donors are maxed out.

Can you confirm this, or are you just speculating>

I know this from my family and friends that have donated...they view the campaign as inept and as already having lost the election for RP. My family and friends I have spoken with have donated before on the money bombs and randomly in the past. Also one of my friends in South Carolina said he only saw ONE tv ad for RP and he said the ad looked crappy to him.

Its 13 percent according todays Washington Post.
Its still the smallest percentage out of all the other candidates.
 
My guess is that most of RP's supporters CAN'T max out. As students, the disenfranchised, unemployed, under-employed, etc., they haven't $2300 to spare. If they spent that, they'd suddenly find themselves homeless.
 
Why do people always think they know what is going on in the official campaign. "coffee" just because your family maxed out says NOTHING for the nation so yes SPECULATION like crazy on that one.

And to say as a general statement that ALL ron paul supporters are wanting to know where the money was or they wont donate? who are you lol, do you talk with ron paul about these issues or just yourself??

stay on point and if you research you will see where that money was allocated for and to.
 
I have concerns and issues with the campaign as well, but I don't let that get in the way of me believing in Dr. Paul's message and sending him money.

There was a breakdown of what RP spend in the 3rd quarter in the thread about it yesterday... and there IS a strategy, where have you been for a month?

The problem and/or concerns people have with the campaign is RON PAUL spent more money in Q4 than JOHN McCAIN and MIKE HUCKABEE COMBINED! That being said...

why do we see McCain and Huckabee Commercials both locally and Nationally broadcasted yet, I myself, focused on all the national channels, have seen one Ron Paul commercial in the past year, and it was the amateurish old one.

Why, with spending more money than both those other 2 candidates combined, we trail them substantially?

This is like a MUTUAL FUND analogy... you invest your money in a particular Mutual Fund and for the year the overall Markets were up, say 12%. The average Blue Chip Mutual fund was up 14%, yet your Mutual fund was up only 5% and your Mutual Fund Manager is charging Management fees TWICE of the other funds that are out performing yours. Wouldn't question, what is going on and more importantly, how the old way doesn't seem the right way or cost effective, so what new steps does the fund managers take to have OUR fund outperform all the others and market averages.

I know it's a simplification analogy... but there is justice to people questioning the campaign. Remember, Thomas Jefferson did quote: Question Everything!

Campaign Management...

an easy spot... after the Reagan Library Debate... Ron Paul moved off the stage out of the main path and studio lighting. Whereas, Mike Huckabee stayed up front and knew he was in the light and TV cameras views and he capitalized on talking to NANCY REAGAN and the GOVERNATOR, which then, the cameras were focused a bit more closer.

It can be poor RP campaign management/Preparations and/or strategies, or just inept to capitalizing on every moment. Sometimes you have to put your trusted friends to the sidelines and let the professionals handle the show, then you'll get much more opportunities and probably better results.

I did go through 7 pages of the FEC report the night it came out, but I stopped after 7 pages. What is there strategy? I don't see it. I'm still not sure where $17 million was spent.

as a shareholder of this campaign I want an explanation. Ron Paul places personal responsibility at the core of his philosophy. And that's the reason I'm here. Now I want them to explain why we spent nearly double than McCain. And Heads to roll at the management level if deemed necessary. this number of 17 million certainly hurts. Some good action/speech needs to be taken by the campaign manager.

HMM correct me if I am wrong....
