There have been some unconfirmed rumors that the campaign has a surprise or strategy that they will unleash when they are ready. I have no idea what that strategy is but I'm all for wild speculation. What do you all think the campaign is up to?

Edit: (Just so you won't have to read ten million pages looking for a definitive answer, this whole thread is filled with humor and some substance but it's a great thread, go ahead and read it! You'll enjoy it)

I saw it in a thread (can't find it now) from a person that attended the recent rallies. The poster said it was something big, but couldn't tell us.

It was one of those threads talking about Iowa. One of the posters was from Iowa and made a veiled reference to it. I know that's extremely vague but I can't remember what thread it was in. I think it was a thread about the HQ not doing much. I'll try to find it.

For some reason, my first instinct was to remember the Simpsons Halloween Special when the aliens Kang and Kodos took over the bodies of the Presidential candidates Bob Dole and Bill Clinton. Then at the end, they ripped off their "human body" to reveal their true selves.

If you watched the video of the IA chairman talking you know they have an enormous IA blitz planned for the nine days leading up to the caucuses there. I would think that with the amount of money we have raised them plus what's coming on the 16th and how frugal they have been to date you can easily assume they have laid in place a massive media, print, radio, direct mail, telephone blitz through the super tuesday states...
The only two who can compete with this are Gooliania and Romney and they take each other's votes away.

The campaign drops the hammer and starts running hardcore ads in NH, Iowa and South Carolina by the hundreds of thousands.....The media falls in love with Ron Paul, megaphone in hand, aboard the Blimp ....all this make the grassroots ralley together like never before......... .....everything comes together for the big win.

I think it is just 'talk' as this is the normal M.O. when we are so confused and baffled by the inaction of HQ, that we we can only assume that such a lax operation must be attributed to some grand scheme in the works.

I've been giving some thought to the unseen and perhaps unintended strategy by the campaign. We've seen how the media attention really is moving the polls whenever they concentrate on a candidate (i.e. Huckabee). This tells us that the support is not strong for any of the chosen ones. Assuming this is correct, what would the correct move be?

To be the last one to get big attention prior to the primaries.

To that end, we have the TeaParty, we have a blimp, the campaign may have set up many of the interviews that MSM has been begging for after the 17th, and perhaps even told some big endorsements to hold off until they are asked to pull the trigger in proper sequence.

I think (hope) we will see event after event after event come the 16th and beyond. If we can dominate MSM in the few weeks before Iowa and NH, it could really make a huge difference and allow us to sweep into victory. I think for this to have the best chance, we need to hit 10% in the polls before the 16th.

Here's hoping!

We was born a 1930, a bit old for a VP.

Interestingly enough, Ron Paul does have Ed Rollins as a consultant. Ed was Reagan's campaign manager in 1984 and also worked for the Ross Perot campaign.

Slash is way better than buckethead, his name sounds like chicken and his music sounds like chicken too!

Maybe thats the plan!


Ron Paul will take victory with the power of rock by having Slash behind him!

Because if they do thats stupid when Paul will probably win NH regardless and since thats our only real advantage over Huckabee, having money to run a campaign nationwide...

Please tell me thats not what they're doing.

Com'on CAMPAIGN STAFF, get the lead out and start venturing around the country!

This is campaign is currently being run like a FEDERAL Department! lol

PEACE,

WOOD


I agree. Paul's campaign officially in SC is a flier in the mail once a week at best, nice fliers though that are better than the 1 flier Romney sent out lol, and people getting really pissed off at automated phone calls. And that is if people are some of the people getting that stuff. If they aren't getting that stuff well Paul has no official campaigning reaching them.

Its making the grassroots here feel kind of discouraged because we feel like we have such an uphill battle here against everything you know, pro-war people, the media, the SC republican party, romney's people here, and no help from the official campaign.:( Or at least thats how I feel sometimes, like we're the only campaign here.

I wouldn't mind if this wasn't such an important state though, then I would understand, but this state is not being treated like its important by the official campaign. They have the money to air television ads here and they aren't doing it, and until a few weeks ago Paul wasn't even showing up here hardly.

Here is my speculation:

Ron Paul will announce that Governor Sanford will be his VP. Apart from getting the votes in South Carolina, he will shake off the question about whether or not he will run as an independent or third party after the nomination. The shock of choosing a VP before the primaries, the donations on the 16th, and the blimp will give him so much media attention that even people in remote African villages would know the name Ron Paul.

If this is correct, delete this.

Does this have anything to do with Ron running as a fusion candiate for several of the minor parties? - Thats not a bad idea, but we'd need more than that to win.

That's legal? Anyway I don't see how that would help because Paul will get like 90% of those votes anyway I would think.

If Sanford is ready to get on board, then they'd do this RIGHT NOW. We need every day of him campainging for us in SC that we can get.

Logically whatever was revealed to Nick and the others in Iowa can't be this specific. Its something strategic. It bugs me that the Iowans know, and weren't told to keep it secret, yet the rest of us soldiers out here don't get to know.

I think the campaign saw the plan the one poster had for an elephant and plan on getting an army of Elephants to march through every primary on February 5th.

On the morning of the runoff election, Gammage got an early dose of a tactic that, 30 years later, would become known as "swift boating." Gammage says he was jolted out of bed by a radio ad from the Paul campaign that featured a blood-curdling scream.
"The next thing I heard was this sweet girl's little voice saying, 'I hope my daddy and mommy don't vote for Bob Gammage, 'cause he wants to turn the rapists and murders loose to attack us in our beds. I hope my mommy and daddy vote for Ron Paul. He wants to put them in jail where they belong,'" Gammage recalls with a laugh.

No way, Sanford is a total Paul fan from their time together in congress. He caught the liberty bug and started voting with RP against the whole rest of the congress. Being governor of SC, this would be a brilliant strategy. I suggested Sanford would be an ideal VP on dailypaul some months back. Plus it would be great for RP's personal security, having a VP waiting to take over the presidency that's just as big a libertarian as he is.

In response to the claim that if it is true, it won't be bigger than the 16th: this surprise is geared at another audience. That whole crowd of academic liberals, white collar silicon valley Hillary supporters, etc, they may not like Ron Paul but only because they haven't heard his views. Remember, America is a pretty even 50/50 split... so far this grassroots campaign has really struggled to win over the standard suburban white collar upper-middle class liberals. What the campaign has up its sleeve is a thousand times better than sound bytes and fundraising numbers; it appeals to all those people out there who do look at policy, but look at it in the wrong way (and end up supporting Hillary or Obama).

So this is something for real and not a rumor?

And its going to be more helpful to the campaign than all the effects of dec.16th too?!?!?:eek:

If what you say is true and correct thats simply awesome!!:D

It will help when people realize their mistake and change parties, and of course it will help guarantee a win in all the open primaries.

Oh, and as an American who doesn't understand any references to American sports, you can bet I don't understand any references to international sports. You are referring to some sport, right?

The campaign will reveal that a time-traveling Ron Paul was the main inspiration for Thomas Jefferson and James Madison who then served as inspiration for Ron Paul, thus completing the circle. This will prove once and for all that Ron Paul is the true Champion of the Constitution.

Why would we even have a thread talking about what HQ is planning? Why are people mentioning that they know things and will reveal more when they deem appropriate? Why allude to when things will start to happen?

How about we just trust that Ron Paul is not only the best choice to run the country, but knows how to run his own campaign, after having done fairly well in the 10 terms he's served? And let HQ do what it needs to when it needs to?

If anyone PM's me what (if anything) is actually going on, I'll continue to post nearly impossible yet somehow plausible and highly entertaining scenarios.

Another one: Ron's going to produce a reality TV show: American Constitutionalist, where the younger-but-over-35 supporters demonstrate their commitment to the Constitution, and the best, in the judgement of a board consisting of Ron, Lew Rockwell, and Trevor, gets the VP spot.

Maybe he can take the money and buy gold. Melt it down and make a Ron Paul Mobile. Tour the country, in the RPM with a goal of meeting each and every meetup group. At the end, melt the car, and give us more money than we gave him. With our extra money, we all go to Washington, to see him sworn in as the next President of the United States of America. =)

We have a winner for most compelling posts . . .


Wow well without reading all 15 pages of stuff in here, all I can say is that I have heard from one reliable source (someone who works the Mises Institute and is friends with people who get calls from Ron Paul personally, recently met up with the Ron Paul Riders as they passed through Mises, etc), that something big is happening. I don't know if I posted that rumor on these forums when I first heard it a month ago or so, but probably. I was asked not to give details though... it doesn't matter. We're already winning on every front and already over the top, but what's going to be unleashed in the near future will just catapult us to the moon! :-D

And then . . .


Well, people seem to like denying my information without knowing anything about it, because they consider it to be a rumor. Well, for me it is not a rumor because I know first hand.

Other thing about Sanford is if I recall correctly he has already stated he is not running again for Governor as he always self imposes term limits on himself.

Sanford's Wikipedia entry does link to a South Carolina NBC affiliate story quoting the Governor as stating that "this (the 2006 gubernatorial election) would be his last race, win or lose".

A Sanford endorsement/VP announcement would indeed be a masterstroke:

- Shore up blueblood Republican support.

- Drive a stake through the heart of the 3rd-party run questions.

- Enable both halves of the ticket to campaign simultaneously in different states during the runup to Super Duper Insane Tuesday.

- Put a fresh (and attractive - Sanford projects a natural handsomeness that Romney and Edwards spend hours and Benjamins to achieve) face before an electorate already burnt out on Rudy McRompsonbee.
