Look...we get Thompson and Hunter out and we can still win!!

In a 5-man debate with 4 neocons where we get equal time, how could we lose??

 

[gracemonger]

not good

Uh.... If these guys drop out who do you think they will support? Certainly not our man. Thompson will probably throw his weight behind McCain. Hunter? Romney?
The remaining candidates will only get that much stronger once the neo-con vote is nol onger divided. Yes, we'll get more air time, but that's the catch 22. We need massive momentum now while these guys are still in the race.

They'll also try to say that we aren't enough of a contender and start pulling what Fox did in every debate.

MSM will start narrowing the field to 3 people. Short of something spectacular happening in MI, RP will probably not be in any more debates after SC.

He's already invited to the debate at the end of the month, I think (it lists him as a person you can ask a question to).

Thompson's not going anywhere until after February 5th because he thinks he can at least win Tennessee. Duncan Hunters numbers are so low that he's not a factor. Really our destiny is in our own hands. We need to contact EVERY voter in EVERY state that hasn't voted yet between now and February 5th. We need to know who's thinking about voting for Paul. Don't waste our time trying to convince neocons on the "right" or socialists on the "left". We need to track all of this information so we can remind them to vote on each election day. Then if something smells fishy, as it does in Sutton New Hampshire, we need to RECONTACT these same voters and make sure they got out to vote. If the numbers don't add up we need to contest the results. That's the only way to win this thing.

No! We need Thompson and Hunter in! It splits the pro-war vote, and it makes the chances of a divided convention greater.
