Maryland has 4 Ron Paul Congressional candidates that are in General elections. 3 of us won contested primary elections. I won a primary against 3 contenders that actually spent money.
John McCay III (MS), is the only other candidate to win a republican primary that I know of. BJ Lawson seems likely to win on May 6th. I am sorry while I think we need one or more third parties in American. I do see much hope for any of the third party candidates.
I didn't ask anyone for any money for my primary although I did get some Ron Paul supporters canvasing their precincts for me.
I keep seeing candidates here raising money for TV ads for primaries. This is a sinful watse of resources. Direct mail or robo calls are the only valid use of campagin funds in a primary until you have raised enough money to mail several mailers.
I have a "General Election" on June 17th. I will take office this summer. The I have another General on Nov 4th.
In some cases the real fight is the primary if the district is heavily Republican. So RP liberty supporters need to supply funding for these races.
In liberty,
Peter
