EVERYONE CALM THE HELL DOWN!
You act as if he spent even 100,000 for this! He didn't spend much at all! All he did was get on Manchester Public TV and do his thing, while getting free web access! What the hell! Stop acting as if he spent money on this event!

Another Campaign Screwup
Three levels of disappointment in one foul-up:
1st, touting a townhall meeting to go up against Fox -- and having it only on community-access TV.
2nd, promoting the live-streaming in a mass email, when someone should have realized a local community-access station's server would have no chance of keeping up.
3rd, and worst of all, no one in the campaign was apparently checking the stream that they just promoted, leaving everyone who tuned-in waiting and waiting with no explanation whatsoever. If you knew to google MCAM and accessed it through their page, you eventually got a message that the servers were overwhelmed. But on the campaign's site, still nothing.
Get it together guy's.

That's the problem. He should have spent $100,000, or more, and done it professionally, and on a real TV channel!
Doubt it. I am not a troll and I was worried, too..what's with the name calling? Bakatcha

It seems like it's going toward spinning tires at the campaign level. The national campaign staff is growing (with the opening of new state HQs and such) but it doesn't seem to be getting any more effective.
Where's the media saturation we were hearing rumors about???

so, did kidnappers grab his favorite grandkid? why is Ron Paul running such a silly campaign?
This is a disappointment, to say the least. Back when Christian tax-haters in Iowa left us out of their forum, we put on a better event and it brought great press and everyone was happy. It didn't need to be televised to out-shadow the actual forum. By promising that and not delivering, it just made our campaign look silly and pissed a bunch of people off. Then Faux News goes off and outdoes us by changing the time of the debate. What we needed was to be able to counter with the time AND have it on MULTIPLE MAJOR STATIONS, NOT ON FRIGGIN PBS! I've never watched PBS in my life! (I'm 23 and I've logged a lot of TV hours) The campaign really bombed on this one.
The problem is that its not even on PBS nor was it ever scheduled to be. It was supposed to be on "community access." Community access is irrelevent when it comes to getting a message across on TV and its a complete joke in regards to being a "response" to Dr. Paul being omitted from the Fox Forum.

mcam.org uploaded the video for us in two parts:
part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxldrCsVByA
part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VQcpmfT0f4
p.s. - When I asked mcam.org if it was shown on TV, they said yes, however, it was only shown on their local 23 channel in Manchester. No other city in NH got it.
In addition, I asked if any other news channels asked for a copy of the Town Hall meeting and they said that at 9:00AM today, C-SPAN requested a copy and haven't picked it up yet.
The only other two channels which requested a copy were the local ABC and NBC channels.
