The Ron Paul Forums site frequently links to our posts on Rand Paul, who is a Republican Senate candidate, Bowling Green Ophthalmologist and son of blimp-based politician Ron Paul.

In the wake of Paul’s strong showing in the first Senate race poll, the posters have stopped insulting Jake over at Page One and have started strategizing.

I found a website with some good info and was wondering if we could use it accordingly just like a regular marketing campaign and target specific demographics. Was the Ron Paul Groups big in KY during his run? There is a growing population of the under “30″ crowd which would be a great group to target as well as the ever dedicated Senior voters.

Since Paul’s supporters are spread out (and not necessarily in Kentucky), it’s interesting to see them coming together to try and overcome that problem. When writers have mentioned this shortcoming in the past, Paul’s out-of-state supporters have launched ad hominem and/or unfounded attacks. Now it seems like they’re starting to work on new types of campaigning, albeit unsanctioned by the candidate.
