I know they are all a hinderance, but what is the biggest?

His speaking is one of his best assets, it is passionate and sincere.

 

[evilfunnystuff]

its hard for me to see them as separate reasons as much as they are intertwined

had any 1 of them not been wrapped up in each other we would have garnered much more attention and support

His speaking is one of his best assets, it is passionate and sincere.

Unfortunately, he cannot speak in platitudes and sound bites digestible by the average American ear. Also, some of topics he speaks on are very deep subjects that really require hours of thought to understand.

[Edit]I know this speaks to his integrity, but the way the media structures political debate between ideas, and the way the average American decides who to vote for, his ideas are easily lost on the average voter.

B for sure

This is a tough one. I would have to say GOP, at least for now, as the media phase of the campaign is in more of a lull.

The GOP is hindering us at the higher level state conventions. Whenever we show the least sign of success, they'll break their own rules or even shut down their own convention to prevent even half their state delegates to the national convention being Ron Paul supporters. The party is utterly rotten to the core.

The national campaign! No doubt about it!

B, and one of my greatest desires is to see today's big boys begging to be allowed into a Ron Paul WH press conference.

For all those who say B, B is a private property, so enough blaming private properties for the failure of Ron Paul's national campaign! This was the worst campaign we can imagine to have.

D. all of the above

You have to admit though that we didn't give them any money until the very last second. If they'd have gotten the money in the 1st or 2nd quarter, things would be different. They'd have gotten media attention for winning or at least showing in the "money primaries" and they'd have been criticized if they didn't use it effectively. Remember when McCain blew his money? The same thing would have happened to the Ron Paul campaign if they'd have blown it the way they did if we gave them the money after the first debates.

Ayuh, I wondered why this wasn't an option. Good thing this wasn't a "poll."

The question is what they have done when they got the money? Why they do not fight to the last minute with john McCain? I was not there the first quarter nor alot of the supporters were. If they utilized the money wisely and if they kept energizing the
the grassroots the situation would be totally different right now. Now Ron Paul is out no argument about it. If you try to convince a voter he is still in he might think you are insane. And that is because of this idiotic campaign that does no effort to advertise for its candidate. Now they have the money and what they are doing with it?

This is it exactly, but think it is mostly the GOP, if they supported RP, the media would report and support, and the Sheeple would be spoon fed this message, and be accepting and follow...as sheeple do...
