I don't think the campaign knows how we're hanging out here. They could be having coffee and telling jokes thinking, what's the big deal if it goes out an hour from now as opposed to now. Or what if they decide to wait until tomorrow? Eek.
No, if it's news, surely they want to make the big Sunday papers and Sunday morning shows, right?
Yeah, this may have more to do with news cycles than anything.
I understand the sentiment with some of the frustration here....
I've only recently gotten involved, but I have spent a lot of hours already with this thing. I've already told my wife I am in Des Moines next week, and I am also making plans regarding the straw poll.
I am the Organizer for the Iowa Border States Coalition meetup, only because I recognized a need for a group of people to start networking in one centralized location, and so far, so good. I am proud to know the coalition was referenced regarding the conference call this morning, which I wasn't a part of, so for those of you who are frustrated, I understand, but this is the beginning of a movement, and it does need to be handled with care.
I'm not on the inside, but how the public perceives this campaign is going to be crucial, and laying the groundwork and strategy regarding this type of public relations challenge is a difficult task.
With all that said, we do need to start transferring all of the internet momentum into tangible, visible momentum on the ground in Iowa. Organizers in the Iowa Border States Coalition will be able to use that as a hub to communicate to all of those groups, and it might be a good idea for those of you in different regions of the country to start similar groups to streamline communication amongst each other.
