It seems that a major advantage RP has over the others is that he can attract massive crowds all over the country. The local media seems to be picking up on it somewhat, but not the national media. I think HQ should post the rally dates and attendance on the main site, like it posts the straw poll results. It is one more arrow in our quiver: money, straw polls, online support, grassroots, etc.
Our current weakness are national MSM coverage and phone polls.
The general public does not believe that the media has an agenda. Sooner or later the public will wonder why there is no coverage despite the obvious support and will experience "cognitive dissonance" (knowing something is not right before you understand why). I think the outrage at being lied to will help drive supporters. Only today did it really sink in for me that the media is not just being lazy or incompetent, but is actively resisting our cause.
