Should Ron Paul go campaign in Europe?

"Dr. Paul has a very limited amount of time,"

What's better: A 200'th rally in xxx town USA or 1 rally in London and 1 rally in Munich? The extra town in the US would give a 0.1% boost. A European rally, with appropriate speeches FOR AMERICANS, and ensuing media attention would get us a 5% boost.

Remember the purpose if this action: It's primarily to get free media attention, not to change the mind of Europeans. We just want American and European supporters to come to the speech, have a good time, wave some signs and be in the media.

It's also a good opportunity for Ron Paul to meet with European leaders, well before any of the other candidates have a chance.

After Super Tuesday, we have plenty of time and resources to do that. But the planning has to start very soon.

Any Europeans reading this forum agree?

Not really.....at least not yet.

There isn't enough support in Europe for it to get any attention and the media will stifle the story anyway.

The thing to do right now is concentrate on the US campaign. If Huckabee and Giuliani go bust and RP can keep enough cash coming in to sustain the campaign, that will put RP in a stronger position.

Concentrate on strengthening Ron Paul's support here first. Europe can wait till later.

Good question

Forget about getting any attention in the MSM. It's totally owned

It will have to be internet based, it will require some clever marketing and advertising to get people to visit it.

We already OWN the internet and it's not appreciably moving the results. Except for Nevada, which is a very libertarian state (that we should have won), the results are going down (10%, 8%, 6%, 4%). It indicates that the internet conduit of information is maxed out. The same people are in the forums, day after day and no new people are converted. Still people ask me Who is Ron Paul?

We need TV media, magazines and newspapers. That takes money (lots of money) to buy ads if you don't get free publicity or STUNTS that can't be ignored.

The blimp is a stunt and got a fair bit of coverage in local stations where it traveled. Local coverage only gets a few local votes.

Sending a presidential contender to Europe is a bit of a stunt (which is why there is some reticence), but the cost is trivial and with the right speeches and venues, there is no downside. Remember, this is for AMERICAN consumption.

A European trip will get coverage worldwide and decent national coverage.

I like the idea!

The poster who pointed out America being arrogant and it maybe backfiring may be right. But the msm has done such thorough job of diving Americans and Europeans, if Ron Paul & his managers could pull it off in such a way that the people of the various regions were able to communicate peace with one another, it would be a success.

That's the whole idea -that the elite are set on shutting down the planet and that the people like never before need one another...

If anyone could pull it off with humility and in a peaceable manner, it would be Dr. Ron Paul.

And contrary to popular belief, the BBC for instance tends to be much less censored than the American press for some reason??? If you listen to GCNlive.com you can hear some great, short news reports that "sound" like they're imported and are full of way more meat than the empty propaganda shows in the U.S.
