I think the power of our meetups and sign waving is having an impact (as well as the Nov 5th fundraising)! In addition, since Oct 31st I made a Google AdWords promoting Ron Paul limited to the Capital District in NY. Here is the trend:
http://www.google.com/trends?q=ron+paul&ctab=0&geo=US&geor=usa.ny&date=mtd&sort=0
(for fun add clinton and giuliani with commas on top, and change to your state)
As you can see, Albany has the most Ron Paul searches in the state. I don't think my token $100 campaign alone made it happen, because our "Google Ron Paul" banners and the MSM coverage of Nov 5th clearly shows spikes, but I am sure it helps.
If you (everyone) are willing to put $20 or more on your own Google AdWord campaign, I think it is one more thing that will help the campaign. Let's face it, 80% of the people are online and NY is so overwhelmingly Giuliani and Clinton that it will take the edge off. I am not saying do this instead of sign waving, door to door, phone calls to registered Republicans, or donating to the campaign, but this is an easy 20 minute exercise that has some impact.
On that note, I CHALLENGE THE OTHER MEETUP AREAS TO BEAT ALBANY IN GOOGLE TRENDS FOR RON PAUL. Nothing like good-all free market competition.
Some Suggestions:
1. Sign up at adwords.google.com
2. Use the standard edition instead of starter, because it lets you target your specific area (all of New York is too expensive) by zip code or city.
3. Don't use the prepay Credit card as it limits your options.
4. Put a budget limit to match what you can put in for the month.
