From this thread:

It’s the morning after. The “smashing showing’” by our Candidate, Dr. Paul, is eclipsed only by the short-sidedness of the greenhorns who can’t see a victory when it’s staring at them. Let’s take a look:

1. Campaigns run on $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. The four fine fellows listed above are Burrrrrroke! There tanks are all but empty, and won’t be re-filled. They are ‘Dead Horses Running’! Watch them gradually fold.

2. Therefore, all of their votes will find a new home somewhere; at least some will go to RP. He’ll even get some from the Hucka-Roms by and by - voters are very fickle; many change their minds without rhyme or reason.

3. RP dessimated Rudy last night!!! - so how will FAUX rationalize having HIM in their dog-n-pony show sunday Night? I’m sure they’ll find a way, but that dog won’t hunt”. We win the propaganda point on that one.

4. RP has the bucks to fight long and hard - He will, believe you me - I know this man. He’s tenacious, street-smart, Campaign-smart, and will be a player all the way through to Super Tuesday at the very least.

5. Finally, and most importantly, no war was ever won (or lost) in the first battle. Ever watch a baseball game where the game was won in the bottom of the 9th? football where is went to quad-sudden death? (BSU!!! - Phoenix, ‘07). This is the top of the first inning folks.

In summary, there is more than enough TIME and MONEY to fight multiple battles, and possibly to win the WAR! But only if all of us embrace the third element: the ATTITUDE to fight to win. Without that, time and money are so many wasted assets.

So lets focus on the plusses, let the planners execute the next maneuver, Help them with money and encouragement, and by all means, stop the self-defeating negativity.
