Wow, I wonder if the person who said it will get fired for telling the truth? I think that violates their corporate guidelines.

Piers morgan stepped into the CNN coverage and its gone off a cliff worse than it was. Blah.

All of America is not you though.

We already have YOUR vote.

My point is that there positive/negative rating test was not an accurate measure of positive/negative ratings about what Ron Paul said. War as a topic would naturally be rated lower than another topic. If Romney was talking about war, the ratings would probably go down as well.

Exactly. But these reporters are idiots. They're perfectly happy to be the face on the downfall of America's freedom. Furthermore they're reporters: they report, they're always going to be the last ones to know the truth.

Not in the America I have been watching these last 8 years. "War" pulls the patriot-strings in the programming that America has been inundated with.

With US, obviously yes 'war' would drag it down.

Not with THEM.

I had a moment of clarity during my 2010 election. We were coming into the final stretch and I designed a series of direct mail pieces that really drew on the Gadsden Flag and the Tea Party symbology, they were just plain beautiful. The caucus strategist sat me down and said, "Glen, if you don't have the Tea Party vote by now you've already lost."

Damn.

Point being once you win a vote, stop trying for it.

Once you've made the sale, stop selling.

We already have the people who hate war on principle. We do.

So it's time to win other votes.

Looks like Ron took Buchanan '96 country up north.

A big part of our problem here is we have built an echo chamber around ourselves.

'War' in and of itself is not a negative by itself with most of America. I wish it were but it's not.

ESPECIALLY in South Carolina. Believe me, 'war' as a concept without context is a POSITIVE in South Carolina. It's all about HOW you address it.

"Bring Them Home" obviously plays well in SC. "We screwed up" obviously does not.

SC has a ton of active military...and their families...

Exactly! Which is why it pisses them off when they hear "we screwed up."

 

[pauliticalfan]

Looks like we might win Coos.

 

[Kords21]

Ha Ha, they've taken Perry off the board

 

[GunnyFreedom]

nice! Paul crushing the SC CNN undecideds panel on 'movement.'

"we don't like negative"

sounds like something I said a couple posts ago.........

 

[Kords21]

I think Paul could pull an upset in SC if the campaign plays their cards right

 

[angelatc]

I understand (although, I'm not sure, it was media after all) that you have to have 10% to get delegates. So I am hoping Gingrich and Santorum drop.

I understand that too, but I added up all the votes so far, and neither of them actually have 10%. The media is rounding up. Of course, all the votes aren't in yet. If I remember tomorrow I'll count again.

 

[opinionatedfool]

WHY AM I LISTENING TO THE CNN DUMB DUMBS????????????

 

[propanes]

Message to a defeatist from earlier today:

Ron Paul will get third place again, and less than 20%. Bank on it.

You were 100% WRONG.
