Entry: Paul Campaign comes to an end ... I think Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/paul_campaign_comes_to_an_end_i_think#19262 Post contents: "Right message, wrong candidate." Not so sure--in my opinion, more a case of "right message, wrong Public Relations and Internet staff." Ron Paul was always way too far behind all the other candidates in terms of the number of TV ads and being up to date technologically. In today's America, you've almost got to have a tech-savvy campaign to get votes, as almost everyone has a computer and the Internet. My question is: why didn't Ron Paul use all that money he got from loyal supporters (the grand total was over $6 million--that's more than McCain has now) and run a bunch of TV and radio ads, and really come across with a clear-cut, easy to understand, hard-hitting, and maybe anti-McCain message? I mean, he's had around $5 or $6 million for the last few months now; why didn't he use it? Did he just see his situation as entirely hopeless, even then, before McCain clinched the Republican nomination? It's not like Paul just didn't have the money to run ads and appear on TV programs, etc.--he just never did it. Oh well. Maybe Ron Paul wasn't the right candidate--his positions weren't 100% in line with mine. And I'm not old enough to vote yet anyway. Regardless of what happens, I'll still proudly wear the shirt I recently made for myself out of iron-on T-shirt transfers: it says "Ron Paul 2008" on the front, and "Detain McCain" on the back.
