Cool! Well i'm sure it will be huge. Make sure you get the word out, ok?
They probably won't let you hug him, a friend of mine got a low-five though.![]()
i get all giddy hearing you folks talking about low fives, hugs and meeting him. I was honored to meet him many times in 2008. It just makes me smile seeing everyone so excited![]()
Just found out about this. I don't know if it is too late to sign up, but maybe I should just show up anyway. I am about 45 minutes away from Berkeley
Why can't he do a rally in the Valley? There is a concentration of voters there.
I sense Ron Paul could gain some traction with Californians by comparing himself WITH California.
Third-largest state in the nation, California also has the MOST PEOPLE and the HIGHEST GDP . . . bona fide WOULD-BE Powerhouse.
But the rest of the country talks SHIT about California, and RIDICULES California . . . calls us KOOKS, calls us CRAZY, calls us OUT THERE, blah. blah. blah.
How much CRAPPIER would the American economy be without CALIFORNIA'S contribution, hmmmm?
And how much crappier IS the American economy because KOOKS like California and Ron Paul are NOT kings of the heap.
being from California, I really don't want it's government mind set as king of the heap...
You miss the point ENTIRELY, about tailoring messages to audiences.
Moreover, effecting changes in mindsets is the OBJECTIVE. We WANT to change mindsets. That's that whole Hearts & MINDS thing.
No changed mindsets, no Paul presidency...simple as that.
being CONSERVATIVE and from California, I wouldn't respond well to that message you suggest.
Your 'tailoring' is collectivist...
...assuming Californians think California is on the right
YOU ARE ALREADY ON BOARD.
If Ron Paul is still spewing talking points that resonate with the PERSUADED & PASSIONATE, that would explain a LOT about his seeming inability to bridge the gap between original support and new support. New support is REQUIRED to win. Oh, well. At least his candidacy will not have been in waste. At least it may serve to get OTHER REPUBLICANS ELECTED TO LESSER OFFICES.
Unlike, say, CLINGING BEYOND ALL HOPE to the Republican party? Is THAT the kind of "non-collectivist" thinking we are encouraging?r
Have you met any NON LATINO Californians who think California is on the right track? I have not.
But y'know what? I retract the suggestion.
I think you people know so well what you're doing and have such a solid handle on it, I can suddenly appreciate why my outside-the-box thinking is ill received. I mean, if I was kicking ass and racking up a probable victory in November, just about the last thing I'd be interested in would be brooking outside ideas.
Carry on.
