Fundraising bonanza not changing Paul’s shoestring campaign style<\/em>\u00bb). L’organisation Ron Paul continue \u00e0 \u00eatre minuscule par rapport aux normes US, et il semble qu’il s’agisse d’une d\u00e9marche d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abWith a surging online fundraising operation that netted a record $4 million in a single day, GOP presidential contender Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) now has the monetary muscle to make some substantial upgrades to his tiny campaign organization but he doesn’t plan to tinker with a successful formula, a DC newspaper reports.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbPaul, whose Libertarian-leaning positions and outspoken criticisms of the war in Iraq have ignited a firestorm of support on the internet, maintains a shoestring grass-roots political operation, reports Roll Call’s Lauren W. Whittington. In fact, she writes, Paul’s kitchen cabinet of advisers is virtually bare. The way the Libertarian sees it, he wouldn’t have it any other way.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbAccording to Whittington, Paul relies on only two advisers, campaign chairman Kent Snyder and campaign manager Lew Moore, to steer his campaign. They’re basically the two I depend on, Paul told Roll Call, adding that he employed approximately just 50 staffers.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbSnyder first linked up with Paul as a college student, when he volunteered for the congressman’s 1988 presidential bid on the Libertarian ticket. Moore, a more seasoned political veteran, is no stranger to outspoken Republibcans: he was a former aide to former Rep. Jack Metcalf (R-WA) a firm believer that the Federal Reserve is illegal and volunteered for Sen. Barry Goldwater’s 1964 presidential campaign when he was only nine years old.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbOtherwise, Paul tends to eschew professional strategists. No, we don’t have any consultants, the congressman told the paper. And other hired guns on the Paul campaign are few.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tD\u00e9marche d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9e, \u00e9crivons-nous, d\u00e9marche singuli\u00e8re mais aussi d\u00e9marche significative. Il semble qu’il y ait chez Ron Paul la volont\u00e9 de ne pas tomber dans les normes du syst\u00e8me m\u00eame au niveau de la forme, de la structure m\u00eame de son action, les conseillers, les strat\u00e8ges politiques, les sp\u00e9cialistes en relations publiques et ainsi de suite. On comprend \u00e9videmment l’esprit de la chose. Ces structures-l\u00e0, \u00e0 un moment ou l’autre, finissent par infecter l’esprit en enfermant celui qui accepte de s’y compromettre, en l’aveuglant, en le coupant de sa base et en lui interdisant par cons\u00e9quent l’acc\u00e8s \u00e0 la r\u00e9alit\u00e9. S’il continue dans cette voie, Ron Paul semble faire un \u00e9trange et fascinant pari. Il ne s’attaque pas tant \u00e0 une politique, \u00e0 une orientation id\u00e9ologique, etc., qu’\u00e0 la structure m\u00eame du syst\u00e8me. Cela signifie s’attaquer au cur m\u00eame du monstre. Son parcours \u00e9lectoral est d\u00e9cid\u00e9ment un des ph\u00e9nom\u00e8nes \u00e0 suivre de cette campagne 2008. Nous observerons avec int\u00e9r\u00eat o\u00f9 ces intentions vont le conduire. Cette question est \u00e0 notre esprit: un homme seul peut-il encore battre le syst\u00e8me \u00e0 son propre jeu, en s’appuyant sur certaines armes de ce syst\u00e8me (Internet)?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
