Scott Walker could win CPAC Straw Poll - Want to help change that?

[RonPaulFanInGA]

There is a high chance with the recent surge of support for Scott Walker that we may lose the 2015 CPAC Straw Poll.

A win means free media coverage.

Will it be as good as Ron's coverage was? Meh.

"And in CPAC news, today Scott Walker won in a virtual tie in the CPAC straw poll with Jeb Bush. Results below:

1) Rand Paul 28%
2) Scott Walker 26%
3) Jeb Bush 25%

keep your powder dry for conventions. that's where headway is made.

all points taken on how Ron got shafted.
rand is surely anticipating the same treatment and his staff is developing a way to work the situation to his advantage.

rand is also, already, taken more seriously than Ron was. I don't think they'll be able to write him of as quickly. (though the may try)

 

[Bergie Bergeron]

I don't think they can. Rand is a Senator and is a much bigger media name than Ron.

Rand is a Senator and is a much bigger media name than Ron.

Rand doesn't have anywhere near the audience that Ron has. Ron enjoys a global audience. People from all over the world read and listen to Ron Paul with regard to the issues. Media platforms from all around the globe welcome him and seek his wisdom.

Ron was regarded as a protest candidate even by the people that voted for him. Rand is a legit contender for the nomination.

Yeah, I wasn't talking about winning elections. I was talking about changing the course of history. As far as a media presence at the geo-political level I contend that Ron maintains a global demograph far superior to any past or present U.S. representative. In terms of a nomination? Sure. I'll give you that junior is more popular in American mainstream media.

CPAC is around the corner...

 

[philipped]

1. Rand Paul
2. Scott Walker
3. Ted Cruz
4. Ben Carson

If that is the top 4 after CPAC is over hold me to it when I think Bush is the only real competition unless his money is GLO'd up enough to basically ghost fund someone else's campaign strictly to solidify aggregate moderate/neocon support (Rubio, Graham) [+rep me when I'm right]

 

[clint4liberty]

Yes, this time I would encourage people to attend more than one day or the whole event, if possible. Voting the straw poll to win is great, but networking is just as vital. In 2015, we need to be shaking hands and being real ambassadors within the board liberty movement. Just think of it as grassroots campaigning versus lecturing people on Hayek, why gold is money, or some other issue. CPAC is our first real test if we learned the lessons from 2007. We all need to be in high level campaign mode on the level of a Jeb Bush. Yeah, I recognize we need to point out the flaws of a Jeb Bush the unconstitutional know nothing preemptive war Democrat. Our greatest mistake is not recognize the tactics or sincere beliefs of the past did not work and change them. One person said it very well that we must fully understand that the media will push the flavor of the minute no matter what.

 

[clint4liberty]

One point i forgot is that we must get out the real narrative of CPAC. We know our ideals/issues/principles will restore our constitutional republic. We need to be ready to be the social media entering, during, and after CPAC. Emotional messages that are sincere will reach the heart of a Republican voter piercing the preconceived notions than using logical/rational explanations. In brief, keep it, short, succinct, and sweet.
