Use Montana to shame Texans.
"Are you gonna let Montana beat us at being true conservatives?"
Montana:
Mitt Romney: 38%
Ron Paul: 25%
John McCain: 22%
Mike Huckabee: 15%
That means Ron Paul is #1 of current candidates.
"Montana chose Ron Paul over McCain and Huckabee."

Umm Montana Caucased. We have a primary. If we caucased liked Montana did we would do just as well or better, but we don't so who has had the best primary so far?

Yup... that, and the fact that the **official** campaign has abandoned TX. Well, except for Houston... which is in easy broadcast range of RPs congressional district.
Getting tackled by your own team (the **official** campaign) gets annoying after a while :(
Thanks to their efforts our new slogan could be "Where is Ron Paul".
They have all but abandoned us and I don't just mean Texas.

Tarzan, you have to remember that the campaign is only running on $6 million and gets no media attention. Compare what's being done in Huckabee's corner, which is dealing with low spending limits, as well, and I'd say the campaign hasn't done a horrible job.

We know but we are supposed to broadcast the cup half full and not do the opposition's job by rebutting ourselves and arguing that Paul beating McCain "doesn't count."
For the herd followers who need simple reasons, Paul beat McCain in Montana.

"Vote for the favorite son of TEXAS"
0 - Ron Paul
0 - Mike Huchabee
0 - John McCain
I have a hard time believing that Texans will turn their backs on their favorite son. When canvassing please ask the average Texan about this. Whatever happened to the spirit of "Remember the Alamo"?

I would say they have done a horrible job in how they have spent the money, on what they have spent the money and when they have spent the money. We all need to take a serious look at the materials they used for this campaign... then take a look at the money they spent and the quality of the materials and the returns. This requires some serious time looking through the FEC reports (from the campaign itself)... then a review of the videos they have released trying to explain the failures (according to the campaign director, advertising does not work)... then a serious review of how the campaign handled the media. To put it bluntly the "media blackout" on Ron Paul was largely a self inflicted wound.
I am not guessing at this... I do marketing for a living and have done it for a long time. And I am not alone in this assessment. Several other credentialed and experienced RP supports have reached the same conclusion... some sooner than others... and many have tried to help correct the mistakes of the **official** campaign for several months... all with no results and usually no response.
They are now trying to explain their failings and one of the targets for blame is... guess who... the grassroots. I suggest a long hard serious look at their efforts and results and I believe you will come to the same conclusion.
We have to stop them now before they waste the rest of the money that has been donated on some other useless venture. They have demonstrated they do not know how to run a political or even a marketing campaign. They all need to be fired and the remaining funds (and the waning hopes of this movement) should not be squandered by these ill equipped individuals.
If they worked for me I would have fired them months ago and hired seasoned experts with a proven history of success.

It is his home state. I can't believe they won't run some commercials statewide.
