RP campaign doesnt contact Iowa media??

[RP4ME]

ON CSPAN : Tom beaumont - from the Des Moines register just said that RP's campaign has never called them liek the other campaigns do....WHAT GIVES? Jesse has some SPLAINING to do! WHY NOT???

Why have we not reached out to them?

No, the media is garbage.

You could also argue that the campaign was purposely trying to stay under the radar in order that we shock everyone come caucus day, but who knows.

Stop believing the media. As if they ever gave us favors, and as if they ever told the truth.

 

[patawa91]

Whatever

Are you for Ron Paul. It seems like you would have a little more tact. I think the campaign is doing great. Tell us what else they have messed up. Seriously, I'd like to know.

Why kiss the media's ass when the message can be directly sent to the people via the grassroots, phone calls, mailers, leaflet drops, slim jim drops, canvassing, youtube, blogging, facebook, sign waving, banners, myspace, rallys, and paid ads ?

I think they are doing okay but one of the big jobs of the campaign is to contact media. PR is VERY important.

Or maybe they didn't because the Register has been pretty fair with Paul coverage? Maybe they did contact other media outlets for coverage? I hate to assume to much and rush to judgment. We really don't know what the whole story is, kwim?

It could have been part of the plan. They didn't want to give any of their numbers away. If you watched the Drew Ivers video you will understand. He said something about the number of grassroots supporters doubling but he wanted to keep the specific numbers low key.

The guy on cspan was saying they had no clue about RP's numbers. He said he was a wild card. I think Ron Paul has an Ace.

Edit: If you also watched the Drew Ivers video you would get the sense that He knows what the fuck he's doing

The campaign is full of incompetent people. Always has been always will be until Dr. Paul wins the nomination and the Party "flushes out" all the crap and brings in real political talent.

You have to remember Dr. Paul started this run thinking he was not going to go this far. He hired much of the same campaign staff as his 88 run. He should have brought back the Buchanan Brigade.

I don't know guys...if all goes right, the media will be running to the campaign!

He's lying. Why do you believe everything these guys say on tv? He wants to make it seem like the campaign is incompetent and cause a rift between supporters and the campaign. Looks like his plan worked and you fell for it.

Wasn't it the register that excluded Dr. Paul in their write ups on the republicans running for president?

there has been more than enough eveidence on these boards to show HQ is incompetent, but there is not much we can do about it, just another hurdle we must overcome!
