How's Ron Paul doing in the states after Florida?

The assumption so far from RPFers has been to survive the early states where Paul probably wasn't going to win (NH, SC, and Florida). He would then have a chance to rack up a few consecutive victories. My question is which upcoming states does Paul have a chance at winning? I think we need more than just a strong showing to pick momentum. If we come into Super Tuesday with a few states under our belt, Paul would be riding on an aura of legitimacy. However, if Gingrich continues to build on his populist movement and Romney gets more and more money, they could squeeze us out of first place finishes and we need at least a couple before March.

By the looks of today's debates, it appears Gingrich will win Florida. This is great for us as he is guaranteed to ride well into Super Tuesday with two HUGE victories and maybe a couple more primaries in February. Romney will always have the money to compete and Paul has a nice chance in states where Gingrich really isn't contending. If Gingrich, Romney, and Paul all are extremely close in delegate count, I expect both Romney and Gingrich to stay for the long haul and fight it out at a brokered convention, which only helps us. Even if the GOP has contingency plans on how to prevent an outright Paul convention win, Paul would be guaranteed a major speech where he would absolutely tear everyone and everything into shreds.

So, out of Nevada, Maine, Colorado, Minnesota, Washington, which ones is there certainty that we will win.
 
i think nevada and minnesota are good bets. there is a reason why they dumped the money there
 
There is no certain. We will be very strong in Nevada, Main and Colorado. We could do well in Minnesota, but not likely to win it. The goal isn't to win first in all of them. The goal is to get states with proportional delegates.
 
Minnesota and Washington are probably the best chances we have for actual wins which I agree will be important before Super Tuesday but we'll get delegates out of all of them at least.

Don't forget the Northern Marianas has their precinct caucuses Feb. 7-11 and then their convention Feb. 25.
 
Our people are just going to have to be smart enough to do basic math on delegates and ignore the 'momentum - now it is only two people' nonsense from the media. Frankly, if they don't take the media with a grain of salt, they probably won't be ours to begin with. The media is owned by corporations which are doing very well with the status quo, thank you very much, they aren't ever going to give Ron a level playing field.
