Can Ron Paul Win New Hampshire?

[Jeremy]

I'm pretty sure the official campaign gets A LOT of donations from NH.

I think the best situation for us is a third or better in Iowa, coupled with an Obama third, Edwards second, and Clinton first in Iowa. I say this because that will make it virtually impossible for Obama to challenge Clinton, and so the independents in NH turn-out to the Republican primary, which will be interesting. Guess who wins amongst anti-war Independents amongst the Republicans; Ron Paul.

Yeah, Iowa doesn't influence us that much - Clinton finished 5th in Iowa in '92 and 2nd in NH. But the more anti-war Inds we have go from voting Dem to Rep in NH, the better off we are...

Great point about Sanford, and it's one I've considered before. If Paul gets a strong third in Iowa (that is, it can't be downplayed as "everyone else wasn't really trying") and a strong second in New Hampshire, I can see Sanford giving Paul what I'm presuming would be a coveted endorsement. He's a politician, though, and isn't about to risk all his political capital until he sees Paul is viable.

The media was obsessed with Clinton though.

They are not with Paul.

 

[Gordon]

He won't win NH...

Oh look, another shirt-lifting troll lacking cognitive abilities. And you're certainly talking out your arse.

He's going to crush all competition in NH. This is where he has his best chance. With independents.

He really wasn't until he went on 60 Minutes to explain the Gennifer Flowers story, and that was after Iowa.

people can register to vote the day of the event!!!


this is a major advantage to ron paul primarily because the supporters understand the importance of voting as opposed to the casual supporter of one of the other candidates that assume there frontrunner wont need another vote.

ron paul will embarrass the other candidates and FAUX news in NH

 

[jgmaynard]

Yes, I've just learned of several new people that I didn't know of who are registering that day to vote for Ron.
