Why we're doing even better than you think (Please Read!)

[Ethek]

I think those numbers are probably correct coming from the FEC, and traditionally Q4 is slower. So that means I would think 20% less for the rest, and a lot more for Paul. If Paul raised 50k per day for the rest of the year + 6 million on December 16th, that translates to:

Ron Paul $17 million
Giuliani $8.4 million
Romney $7.6 million
Thompson $7.4 million
McCain $4.7 million

When the FEC reports the numbers next year it will likely be absolutely huge news.

What date does the Q4 reporting usually come out?

I'm curious to see how the media is going to handle Ron Paul during the next two months. The Nov 5th money bomb only got us 4 or 5 days of good media. We'll see if December 16th, Q4 numbers released, and a win in NH gets more than 5 days of play from those objective journalists.

Not in time for a NH or IA boost, but maybe a boost for SC and NV.

I think Q4 numbers will seal the deal for both! SC has had such a jump lately I am feeling REALLY good about it!

It could be out a couple days before NH. In past quarters, the numbers have been out a few days after the end of the quarter. We could be in line for a big media blitz in the days leading up to NH which is good! Ron Paul may very well lead all Republican candidates in fundraising this quarter so that news getting out would be huge!

The official campaign should jump through hoops to get the report filed Jan 2nd so that it can have the maximum impact on voters in IA and NH. Ballpark the numbers if necessary; there is always time to update the report later as figures solidify. The important thing is to get the report filed ASAP after the quarter closes!

If we hit 12 mil goal, seeing how things are going we'll have the early states in the bag, and the all the teaparty money will win us super tuesday

Combine the money and the blimp, it should be awesome especially when Ron raises far in the excess of 30 million. Don't forget the 5 or so business newsletter Guru's that urged support for Ron and those people are private, they won't sign anything they don't have to. Wait and see.

We need a lot more than just money. We need to get the name out there and get voters ASAP !

We are behind in the polls for a few reasons.......but mainly that most don't know about RP and most don't realize he's top tier.

We need to change that by the end of the year, about 37 days from now !

The data is 100% legit--. You can source everything yourself at the FEC web site www.fec.gov-- Any information I didn't get from there came from our opponents campaigns themselves or from articles in reputable, non-partisan magazines and newspapers. Don't get me wrong, we've got a lot of work to do-- The polls are understating our support, but not by as much as some on this forum would like to believe. And we need to build bridges to the Republican mainstream so that we can pick off enough undecided voters to win. Nonetheless, it is clear we have the resources and the momentum-- now we just need to translate that into votes.

Fundraising is nothing in the face of the hostile, controlled media.

[ Admin - removed religious based attack that has no supporting arguments ] Because Ron Paul threatens control of the money supply. Yeah, they control that too.

Abandon hope, all ye who believe otherwise. Or, just abandon hope anyway. The media elects the president and has for as long as it has been the prominent source of information for the unwashed, unlearned masses.

 

[CMoore]

I know what!!! Let's alienate any Jewish support for Dr. Paul by insulting them with tired old stereotypes!!!

 

[mavtek]

My only issue is that I'm afraid 4th quarter numbers won't be reported until after Iowa, so none of the money raised makes any difference.

It's controlled by the Jews. They're hostiles. Because Ron Paul threatens control of the money supply. Yeah, they control that too.

Hey, RP4Life-- I'm Jewish, and I am the one who started this thread-- so as politely as possible, I'm going to ask you to not waste the rest of our time with Anti-Semitic trash-- or at least don't hijack MY thread to do it.

I have lots of opinions about lots of subjects -- but if they don't have to do with suppporting official positions of the Ron Paul campaign, I don't talk about them here. I'm here to play whatever role I can in helping to get Ron Paul elected President of the United States. What are you here to do?

Cardinal Red, I see that your post count is low and you've only been here a little while. We do have a troll problem. When you see that sort of stuff click on the

and let the moderators know about it.

BTW, welcome aboard, you are very welcome here.

My thougts exactly. We need a good boost on the 30th for the early states and then the tea party money will be for super Tuesday. I am wondering if the campaign(or us with chipins) should be doing more national advertising. The usatoday ad reached many. I think a drudge report and other banner ads would also reach millions. This will increase over all interest which in turn creates more supporters and donors. As stated many times, I have not ever met a former Ron Paul Supporter. The cost of these ads are small and reach a wide variety of people. If you can get even one person interested and supporting Ron Paul in areas where he does not have support or is unknown, it will grow exponetially. I still believe the person to person campaigning is essential, but especially in rural areas, this is hard. Any Comments?

It will make a big difference to how much Ron has to spend.

for the things that matter in the end, like precinct captains, register to vote and get out the vote, I couldn't disagree more.
