you don't know a single person in that picture then, you are just saying that.

There are kids in that picture, and they obviously cant vote.

check out this 10 sec video apparently taken outside the event lol

i think i saw collins.....

Calling them voters isn't accurate.

They are voters. Look at whats happening in Maine. Same thing happened in Iowa btw. Theres been numerous reports of election fraud/cheating.

Thanks so much for posting that video, it makes for a great start to my day. I love it when Ron walks out to such a huge overflow, enthusiastic crowd that helps validate his tireless work for the cause of freedom. What a great man!!!

+rep for you!

Supporters and voters are not the same thing. Mitt/Newt/Sant have voters, not supporters (that's why newt draws crowds of 6 but has won a state...). Ron has supporters, not voters. Sadly... supporters do not ALWAYS vote.

just curious seeing denver crowds ,how are you verifying your info? you have a complete list of county delegates? if not there is no way to confirm anything your trying to imply in caucus states unless you believe the lying media!

walt is making his stuff up unless he can verify every person in that room and when they got their delegate position. He is not prevy? to this info period! He is trying to relate previous crowds to actual votes and seeing vote totals in many states. There is nothing to what he is saying until many state caucuses are over which will not be for months in iowa,colorado,nevada and many more!

vote totals compared to last election show walt is totally off base since totals have expanded by amazing numbers.

The burden of proof is on the campaign. Call them attendees, people, fans, whatever you like but to blanket call them voters is inaccurate - some are also under 18, those people aren't voters. If you want the media to take the campaign seriously, I'm just encouraging the use of accurate nouns to describe the situation.

 

[walt]

I HOPE he mentioned that they MUST, for the sake of liberty, go and vote!!

Yep. I hope they become voters.

 

[ApathyCured]

Yeah I hate to be negative but in Maine he was drawing large crowds. The total of which probably eclipsed the total number of voters in the caucus. Its great he gets crowds but thaey have to go fricken vote for it to count....

 

[KingNothing]

because we've seen crowds of this size that didn't translate to the vote totals - tons of out of state people in NH and Maine - more people showing up to his events in Maine than he got votes etc.

They are people - or as Mitt Romney would prefer to say they are "corporations".

How do you know they don't translate to votes?

Has Ron EVER had more people at one event than he had vote in a state? No. Might it just be that folks who intend to vote for Paul are also interested in listening to him speak, so that a higher percentage of his supporters actually turn out for his events?

 

[KingNothing]

Supporters and voters are not the same thing. Mitt/Newt/Sant have voters, not supporters (that's why newt draws crowds of 6 but has won a state...). Ron has supporters, not voters. Sadly... supporters do not ALWAYS vote.

If 100-percent of the people in the room were both supporters and voters who lived in the state, Ron Paul would still not win. I think people fail to understand the orders of magnitude involved here. Outside of the tiny caucus states, one thousand or two thousand voters is not enough to win an election, and that's all we see at our largest rallies. Don't get me wrong - it is PHENOMENAL to see that many people turn out. I love it. And it shows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that in the longterm we've already won.

Well some of them may be undecided. Or out of state. Or what have you. At Rally for the Republic I brought a hardcore Democrat friend who hasn't converted yet. It's not our fault that Faux News doesn't cover our rallies like Jesus feeding the 5,000, or that the majority of voters are brain dead MSM zombies. See it for what it is, but don't hate on the enthusiasm.

Did Obama (who is one of the greatest orators/public-speakers in history) give the same old meandering stump speech at each of those 5,000+ people events or did he use them as an opportunity to deliver formal, well constructed speeches that made whatever point he was trying to get across in the most eloquent and persuasive way possible??

I'm sorry, but I honestly don't think Ron little rallies deserve any mainstream coverage because they've covered it before. I garuantee you that if Ron came out with something new or specific, theyd be writing more positively about these rallies.

Agreed. Personally, I love Ron's speeches but Joe Average has grown tired of hearing the same lecture of liberties and economics. I'm not faulting Ron. He is who he is, and he's done more for humanity than I ever will, but it's easy to see why the media and most people who are not us don't want to hear the speeches.

 

[LibertyEagle]

I just don't get why you'd want to rain on something cool.

Because it is what Walt does. Standard operating procedure, really.

Let's call it what it is, ok? Obama is very practiced at using teleprompters to read speeches that someone else wrote for him.

Great orator? Not so much. Have you ever heard him when the teleprompters go out? It ain't pretty.

Bull, he came out with a BUNCH of in depth stuff yesterday on NDAA etc and the AP story was that he 'decried the drug war', one sensationalistic 'nutty' (or spinnable) comment out of 45 minutes of speech without notes.

Certain members of this board and the campaign itself are completely incapable of leaving "liberty education mode" and moving into "national election winning mode". Liberty education mode will not balance the budgets, release shackles from the economy or receive implementation from a new President with different policy.

Instead of saying other people are the problem, I'd suggest you look in a mirror.

I think you're being a little unfair; the campaign is not only in "liberty education mode", there is also "kiss Romney's butt" mode, in which they have been doing exemplary.
