Woot!

We have to get Ron's kinder gentler side out there.....

the most important demographic we should build on is the 65+

considering we're doing VERY poorly with them now, we should be able to do some micro-targeting with direct mail and easily add a couple percent.

ron has always been far more popular with men than women. women are emotional beings. libertarianism doesn't play well to people who don't look past the intention, like "feeding the children" and see the logical side of the argument. it may be sexist to say it... but it's just human nature, atleast imho.

I've seen studies saying women are less financially secure and tend to be more the heads of single parent households, more likely to be a paycheck away from needing aid. That also might have something to do with it. What people need is more opportunities to earn money, though, with a recovered economy, not more government.

Agreed. The great thing is that we can micro-target these niches. Increase numbers with women? Send an anti-war and pro-life mailer to registered female voters. Want to target old people? Send a mailer about shoring up medicare and S.S.

Granted i don't think now is the time to do that but rather close to the caucus. The point is we have a LOT to be positive about.

The absolute best way for us to increase our numbers with women voters IMO would be to get Grandma Carol as much airtime as possible. That and put this essay on every website and street corner everywhere:

Wow, the momentum is bulding very quickly! I understand why Ron's numbers with woman aren't as high, I hope we can raise them a bit. What is funny is that it was my Mom who told me about Ron Paul, and was the first in my family to support him!

 

[wgadget]

Whoops. I thought he was in first with women also, but that would be Mitt's claim to fame.

MITT? Really??

You need to show the pbs interview for the social security medicare approach, and then you need to work on basic trust, not the issues necessarily imho. Ron has been painted as heartless. His free work and discount work for poor patients both in his private practice where he never took medicare or medicaid and in the Catholic charity hospital where he moonlighted as a flight surgeon, his not taking the federal pension because he felt it was immorally rich particularly when he knew the government wasn't going to be able to fulfill its promises to seniors in the way it was pretending....his refusal to engage in red meat politics or brag about himself. There was a statement by a 'standard conservative' in his district about how he fights to get seniors their wheel chairs and provides more constituent services thgan others while returning a portion of his office budget to the treasury every year. She said, "I don't like his vote, but I trust his heart."

He should easily appeal to head AND heart, but some won't put the homework in, or just don't understand the issues enough to understand why his positions are the best. And trust goes a long way.

True 100%. That's why I think every single woman is a drooling moron aside from my mother, sister, daughter, wife, etc...


Seriosuly though, women are less rational and their voting habits reflect that.
