I think Colbert is great. I never heard of him before RP's appearance (don't watch TV) and I sent him an e-mail telling him so. I also said the RP segment was excellent and that I did indeed see the 'Colbert bump' on Alexa.
This is why I am such a fanatic supporter of traveling to the debate venues and shows like Colbert's in great numbers to show physical support.
RP could travel to every major city in America, one after the other, and not get as much exposure as he will in Charleston, SC on July 23 at the next debate (hint, hint).
If, for example, there is a RP crowd of 1,000 people at the next debate, there will be countless stories, reports, articles and YT vid views of the event.
It will confirm the fact that RP has real support. It will attract new support exponentially. It will make for excellent RP flyers and posters. It will encourage us to get out in the field.
It's win, win, win.
BTW, I'll be starting a thread just after the July 4th holiday regarding the debate in Charleston. I'll be updating the various Meetup feedback, number of those who plan to attend, hookups for a ride there, etc.
As of now, I have a party of 5. I'll be attending my first Charlotte, NC Meetup and spreading my fanatic admonition to everyone here in Charlotte to plan the trip. The Granny Warriors and great folks from western NC updates, etc.
Sorry for the hijack, but I love any media attention RP can get. Colbert's doing a follow-up is just what we asked for. Thanks to him for another great segment.
