I think the, "No, You Can't", audience participation segment was brilliant...

I dont like things like that. But it is very effective.

The way I see it, humans are for the most part, pack animals. RP Grassroots seems to have an abundance of "alpha" types, resulting in the "cat-herding" syndrome common to libertarian movements in general. Once we recognize that the majority of humanity are "followers" it becomes easier to understand the responsibility to lead in a way the majority will "go along with". Hence the need to temper our messaging, and use baby steps in achieving our goals. One may not like "chanting", but is the dislike so morally repugnant that the proven technique is "wrong"?
On a side note, do you dislike "audience participation" in rock concerts and comedy shows, as well?

his speech is like morphing one of sen. barry goldwater's with dr. edwin vieira's and i'm saying
this in a good way. if he gets more used to podiums, he'd be quite a candidate down the road!
the crowd is starting to warm up to him halfway through! the momentum is starting to work!!!

I agree, we should be using these techniques. I have been saying we should use MS techs for awhile. I guess I should have explained more. I personally dont like them, doesnt mean I wouldnt use them.

He ran last year. He should run again.

Fantastic! Well done!

Yep. :)
Keep in mind everyone, when we say "someone should run" what we really need to mean is "Yes, I will help the campaign!" :)
