GOP PRESIDENTIAL TRUST DINNER
October 16, 2007
7:00pm

National Building Museum
401 F Street, NW
Washington, DC 20003

Join your fellow Republicans on October 16, 2007 for a special dinner to benefit the RNC Presidential Trust, featuring our 2008 Presidential candidates. Under federal election law, the RNC is able to spend up to $17 million to support our Republican nominee next year, and the RNC is the only source of such contributions available to our nominee. The RNC's Presidential Trust will play a critical role in determining who our next President is.

This Dinner is a tremendous opportunity to see many of the major figures in the 2008 Presidential race, united to ensure our Party has the resources necessary to take back control of Congress and retain the White House next year.

Please enter the below information to complete the RSVP process. If you are already a current and active Member of a particular RNC program, please instead contact the Finance Division directly at 202-863-8720.


Featuring the 2008 GOP Presidential Candidates

The Honorable Rudy Giuliani
The Honorable John McCain
The Honorable Ron Paul
The Honorable Mitt Romney
The Honorable Fred Thompson

What the?! Why do they leave out the other candidates?
 
Either they had to draw the line somewhere or others did not respond.

Otherwise McOwen would be on the list😛

Mike Huckabee is struggling to raise 2500 donations by the end of the third quarter.

Ron Paul is doing that many every single day.

End of argument.

Thats not the end of the argument. Where are these guys at on national polls?

Look...if you ignore the straw polls then you are ignoring the facts. Phone polls are but one demographic. You have to be on their caller list. Out of 26 straw polls Ron Paul has placed 1st in 10 of them. link

How many has Huckabee won?

Again if you ignore these statistics then you are denying the obvious answer. The GOP wants absolutely nothing to do with Ron Paul but even they couldn't deny the facts.
 
Because both parties work the very same way. You either are part of the power structure or your not. Look at the attempts earlier this year by Democrats to limit who could debate, till that news was broken on Drudge and other sources.

Republican or Democrat - two non-choices if there ever were.
 
Lets see, the GOP field seems to consist of one libertarian, one phony moderate, and about eight far right kooks. Now the GOP is looking at vanishing support and not enough money donated. You can't get rid of the one moderate, or the one libertarian because that reduces the set of people the GOP might appeal to. So you reduce the number of far right kooks which means each of them will have a bigger bankroll because other equally unappealing Kooks can't do the party any good competing for the same limited pool of donated money.

And the GOP leadership basically is not consulting the voter or letting the voter pick. But they are wondering who the corporate donors will choose. Then if the war is still going good they have McCain, if they need a unflappable tough pragmatic guy image they have Thompson, and if no one is sure the ever plastic Romney will transform into whatever is needed. As for Guiliani and Ron Paul, they are just along for the ride, the GOP need them to throw their support to the eventual winner of the GOP nomination.

I am still hoping the GOP will come up with a real moderate but Hagel has declined to run. My guess is that unless a GOP moderate enters, the GOP will go down big on 11/08.
But the joker in the decks will be future events. The GOP problem is that future events are extremely unlikely to work out well for the GOP..
 
Oh yeah, Ron Paul "doesn't even break the margin of error in polls" yet he is apart of the "major figures in the 2008 Presidential race" 😛

Yeah; when I saw the OP's name I was sure Ron Paul had been left off the list and he was going to complain about it.

Non Prof John,

We are discussing why the GOP only invited certain candidates and not others to this big dinner. As the thread title makes very clear.

Why do you ask PJ? Is there something wrong with discussing the relative merits of various Republican candidates and why some were excluded by the party of the big tent?

Or should P&N only discuss the warts and blemishes of only democrats? As you as an OP launch thread after thread after thread on those same democrats.

And then you have the seeming unmitigated gall to try to stop any thread discussing Republicans.

Now what theories do you have PJ?

 
I guess we better have a thread on the Reagan Dinner in Des Moines in late October as well. Fred Thompson is the only candidate attending, to my knowledge.
 
Lemon?. My point is that this thread is nothing more than an advertisiment trying to make people think Ron Paul is a ?top tier candidate.?

He is included in the dinner list isn't he? above some lesser candidates no less.

I think that would mean he is on the level of Giuliani and McCain and the others...


I might switch parties just to vote for Ron Paul. He is coooool!!
