Not a mention of Ron but I do like the 22% undecided. But here's your demographic info on who we need to target. Mostly older, white, married men.

[Corydoras]

Curious as to why you think this implies that's the demographic we need to target.

[devil21]

Simple. Look at the comments of the people interviewed and their age range. The simple fact is that the 50-60+ year old white men will vote in primaries (if not informed otherwise) for the guy they see on TV the most. Hence why FT and RG are the "top". They don't web search or browse to find RP. In that age range, the male runs the house (pardon to anyone offended by that but by and large it's still true). Get to the top of the family structure and it will trickle down.
I think that article illustrates perfectly the demographics that should be targeting. Wasting a bunch of time on people who won't even vote in primaries (statistically) might be a lost cause. I agree with the "pro-war" vote split theory but you have to find and reach those who actually vote in the primaries! Otherwise it doesnt matter. And those demographics vote in the primaries....

I wont get into the 22% undecided factor.

They will if it is brought to them! No one here lives in a predominantly older white neighborhood? I find that very hard to believe.

I don't, anyway. Do you?

[BarryDonegan]

they actually will if presented his message. they want ron paul, they just don't realize it. they want the oldest guy, with the best family track record, voting for the least government, who served in the military, isn't in bed with corporations, protects their gun rights, etc, he is their candidate, hell he IS THEM.

ron paul has like 800000 good looking grandchildren, one wife his whole life, pics with reagan back in the day. hes delivering babies fast enough to keep up with Bush American death tolls, this guy is as sensible, and perfect a candidate as the old school guys demand, lifestyle and toughness wise. look at him, he is that guy.

do you think those people will REALLY get up off their chairs and go vote for freakin Giuliani? MAYBE fred thompson, but hes only getting the courtesy vote because they don't have an pro-cfr candidate thats electable in that demographic at all.

many people in that age demographic don't believe in or trust their TV, lived through Vietnam, etc. campaigning, word of mouth, etc, still very much works. the media stuff is whats starting to falter.

Don't forget to go to churches this Sunday and put out RP's Statement of Faith and the Chuck Baldwin article so they will become introduced to him. Most people have never even heard of RP.

This Monday is the Values Voter debate, and there just may be a lot of older white males watching.

[TexMac]

We won't get the Republicans. We will get the young democrats, inds, and libertarians. That is who we need to focus on. The older white men aren't on the Internet and will never learn about Ron Paul.They will if their kids tell them about RP. Everyone, call your dad!

[wgadget]

LOL.

Last night my daughter (11) was on Barbiegirls.com and had VoteForRonPal as her avatar. She was telling these perfect strangers to go and tell their parents what her avatar said. Then they would come back online and tell my daughter the parents' response. Pretty funny....Kiddie campaigning.

The folk you refer to have no life as we no it.
They don't understand cell phones, fear the internet,
view their neighborhood with some tinge of paranoia
and don't watch anything on Faux that doesn't involve skin,
be it pigskin or bareskin.

They would be very receptive if you can penetrate the psyArmor they have
constructed over the decades.
In their face we appear just like Faux depicts us - frightneningly different,
somewhat alien to their landscape of lawns that ned to be mowed and
a world that needs to be kept at a safe distance.

What we need is clinical study - here's the Advertisement:

Trial Information
Indication: Have never heard of Ron Paul
Study Summary: AN IMPORTANT CLINICAL TRIAL FOR IRS SYNDROME
This advertisement is intended to be viewed by IRS sufferers,
if you are an IRS tax collector click HERE
(may need to click several times - it is a slow server).

We’re trying to improve treatment for IRS SYNDROME – you can help!

Do you have episodes of anger, dizziness or disgust with current government? This may be due to a condition called “IRS SYNDROME”.
If drug therapy has not been successful to treat this condition
or you have intolerable side effects due to efforts
you are currently taking to avoid this condition,
you may be eligible for this trial.

What is being studied?

This clinical trial is comparing the safety and effectiveness of a
non-drug treatment (psychological counseling) called Historyotomy
with the standard news therapy for IRS SYNDROME.
This study is evaluating whether a particular investigational examination
of history can be used safely and effectively to treat IRS SYNDROME.

What does the treatment consist of?

In this procedure, the Constitution (and Bill of Rights) are discussed
in open forum and the salient points are threaded into consciousness.
An attachment at the end of the forum delivers direct comparisons of
well-known characters from History to the current slate of presidential candidates. This results in a broad but localized knowledge which
enhances the areas of thought essential for understanding or criticizing
the common deceptions as seen on television.

Is this treatment dangerous?

All interventional treatments have risks.
However, this procedure is widely used for other types
of cultural disorders in the U.S. and worldwide with low complication rates.
The treatment of IRS SYNDROME is a new indication for this particular technique.
Which is why it is the subject of a clinical trial.

I’ve already failed a TAX AUDIT. Can I be in the IRS SYNDROME treatment group?

In order to prevent treatment, the government requires that
repeated IRS SYNDROME clinical trials not be conducted,
but comparing the new IRS SYNDROME treatment
with the standard of current news contradicts this prescription.
In this trial, approximately two-thirds of the patients will accept the
IRS SYNDROME treatment, while the remaining patients
will need to go back on medication.
Those who receive medication may be eligible to have the
IRS SYNDROME treatment again at a later date.

Why would I want to take part in this trial?

Currently in the U.S., IRS aversion behavior is primarily treated with TAX AUDITS. But about half of patients treated with TAX AUDITS fail to achieve
relief from overtaxation or find the side effects of life on the run intolerable.
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate whether
removing the IRS is safe and effective method for treating poverty.
You would therefore be helping to advance knowledge about the
treatment of sufferers like yourself who have IRS TAX AVERSION
and who are either not getting relief from tax breaks or
are unduly impoverished by the side effects of living without income.

You may be eligible to participate in this study if you:

* Have failed to earn enough money to pay your bills,
* or find the side effects of your poverty intolerable
* or are not happy with how your taxes are spent
* Are 18 years of age or older
* Do not know Ron Paul or understand the Constitution
