I think this map is interesting, but I'm pretty seriously bummed by the comment. I don't see any rampant campaigning for any other candidates. I find "be sure to donate to his campaign on Dec 16th" to be seriously objectionable. I looked at cavebear's other input, and he posted requests to upvote his other (now discarded post) begging for donations to ron paul. I like clever campaign videos. I like clever clips of candidates. I really, really don't like begging videos or comments.

I kind of agree with you on the asking for donations in the "summary" or the title. In my opinion that should be made in the comments...but that's just my opinion.

I was also doubting the stats here...I thought Giuliani only has 1 meetup group? That can't be right. I then went and checked it out at meetup.com and it's true...in fact these maps in the video are taken straight from meetup.com

"The tide of support for Ron Paul is growing. Be sure to donate to his campaign on Dec 16th."
I was only trying to point out the growing popularity of Ron Paul. I'm new to posting videos and I thought I was doing it correctly, and in a positive manner.

The revolution thing might end up biting Ron Paul in the ass, they have already started in on the scare tactics of saying he's an anarcheist
