Operation New Hampshire is a TV, radio, and newspaper advertising campaign to raise awareness of Ron Paul and get his message out there (getting his message known is the hard part, but once we effectively do that, people will naturally gravitate towards RP).
As a part of Operation New Hampshire, we MUST also run ads in Iowa. Remember, Ames was 9.1% in one week. What could we do over one month? Two? Three? Iowa is critical to Operation New Hampshire because if Ron Paul scores only 4-5% of the vote in Iowa, the media will discredit and shun him and it will be a huge momentum stopper. However, if RP does fairly well in Iowa (15-25%), and we absolutely PLASTER New Hampshire with Ron Paul ads, and then he takes New Hampshire by storm, then we have us a contender.
Remember folks, oftentimes we're dealing with monkeys. Monkey see, monkey do. If the monkey sees that Ron Paul did well in Iowa, he is more prone to carry that momentum on to NH. However, if we don't feed the monkey his banana (a good showing in Iowa), there will be no fuel (momentum) to get him fired up in NH.

Saturday, January 12, 2008 - New Hampshire Primary (24)
Saturday, January 19, 2008 - Nevada (34), South Carolina (47)
As you can see, we CAN'T AFFORD over a week of Ron Paul nonexistence and nonimportance. Over a week -- that's the media coverage that the nation will be watching after Iowa and before New Hampshire. We need over a week of newstalk about a better-than-expected Ron Paul finish in Iowa, then we need to shock the nation in New Hampshire.
Can we do this thing?
