Reason No. 11
Posted by James Ostrowski at June 27, 2007 09:56 AM
I thought of yet another reason why Ron Paul can win.
Most candidates have a top-heavy, top-down campaign. They rely heavily on cold cash to fund TV ads to whip up a previously-lacking enthusiasm for themselves. That's particularly true this year in which the frontrunners are a bunch of wet blankets.
Ron Paul’s campaign is the opposite. It's bottom-heavy and bottom-up. It relies on spontaneously-generated grass-roots support.
While the charismatically-challenged frontrunners have to budget their funds carefully and opt out of certain caucuses and de-emphasize certain other primaries, Ron Paul faces no such dilemma. He can fight on all fronts at once, relying on the genuine enthusiasm of his supporters to make a strong showing across the board. Further, while caucuses usually require sophisticated organizations on the ground in each state, in Ron's case, that need can be filled by the "run through a brick wall" enthusiasm and web-savvy of his base.
Caucuses are a pain in the neck but they aren’t rocket science. You show up sober and vote. Bring War and Peace to read.
