Dear Paul Campaign,

When you make a ticker, start it at $500,000. When donations reach $400,000, move it to $750k. When donations reach $700k, move it to $1m. Rinse, repeat. Stop moving the goal after 6 p.m.

Definitely some good advice.

We have been saying this forever...... Media always uses this as a failure tactic.

It's just another David Weigel hit piece, just ignore it. Remove links, etc.

I don't think it was that bad.

Weigel is a JOURN-O-List scumbag. Not even worth mentioning his pathetic excuses for articles.

Some people see negative in everything, and as a result have difficulty handling real world politics IMHO ( and I'm not talking about Weigel). Weigel has provided Paul a lot of coverage, a lot of it positive/neutral. It seems pretty stupid to dismiss him that way, when he has provided coverage for 4 years ( regardless of his personal politics and employer at the time) that is far more positive than most. If you dismiss all coverage and are hostile to everything that is not from the Paul inner circle, you are dismissing just about 100% of anything positive in the real world.

Paul's campaign made a choice to add the $2 million ticker. If that invites negative press, that is the fault of the campaign, not media. Weigel said that Paul was going to outperform some "frontrunners" ( which he quoted to show he was not excluding Paul from frontrunner status or declaring the membership of that class) and that he was running a "punchier campaign." It was overall a positive tone.

Weigel is a Democrat, but provides better Paul coverage than many. He isn't what I would call a 'friend', but he's almost a relative. (edited that from 'family')

Mitt Romney was able to tap his bailed-out banker buddies on Wall Street to the tune of 10 million dollars in one day.

Pointing out Mitt's ties to the bailed out financial industry is a good tactic...

I forth the motion.
