Biggest mistake of the week-times three

I really don't know which is the stupidest move of the week because we have so much to look at.  I actually have some really good stuff about two other candidates, but Mike McPadden just outdid anyone else so far this campaign.

First of all, Mike clearly lost the only high profile supporter he had in Ed Robb.  Ed gave him credibility in places he would never have gotten on his own.  Clearly with the widely distributed email that Ed had sent out, that is no longer the case.  It seems the rest of his campaign staff except for the very nice Joshua Solovskoy has disappeared also.  If I were Joshua, I would call Ed and find out what happened before I went much further with Mike.

Secondly, Mike sent out an attack email, going after unit chairmen.  Does he realize that he just offended  twenty one very influential grass roots leaders ?  One can understand him wanting to get everyone but himself and Robert Hurt off the ballot but why would you insult those who could help you possibly win a conservative convention ?

Third, Mike has this really off the wall idea of changing the american monetary system back to only silver and gold coins.  Mike, please explain how with the current price of silver and gold and the fact that the prices are not stable at all, you would have pennies, nickels, dimes, etc.  Silver closed at almost $17 an ounce on the 30th and gold at almost $1100 an ounce.  Gold is up almost twenty five percent this year and silver an even bigger fifty percent.  If you made coins with enough silver to make them have the value of the silver within equal to the face amount and the price of silver continued up, the only thing that would happen would be a great meltdown of the coins and we would have no coins at all.  Then what would you do Mike ?  Can you imagine him debating Tom with this idea.

Let's see, you want to run but first your biggest supporter has said he is no longer supporting you, you have dissed the grassroots leaders you will need later and you come up with a crazy idea.  You do have one more day this week to make people wonder even more why they should support you.  It isn't even close about your making the stupid moves of the week.
