Idaho!!! 32 delegates at stake

They campaign does do events that they don't mention...


Just food for thought.
 
Good news. "Howard highlighted North Dakota and Idaho as states where the campaign already has staff on the ground..." http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/ron-paul-soldiers-despite-lack-first-place-wins-175355936.html

"Well, the next contests in this race are of course Arizona and Michigan," wrote Paul spokesman Gary Howard in an email to Yahoo News in response to questions about where Paul turns post-Maine.

I hope even the campaign hasn't glossed over Wyoming because the caucuses have already begun and last til the end of the month. I'm not sure why every single media outlet, political expert, and campaign has ignored Wyoming.
 
I like the rumor. If they are going to do private events like they did in Maine, it would help them if they informed the grassroots that they are at least in the state. There was a lot of confusion in Maine.

I think the campaign did that for good reason... our greatest strength can also be our biggest weakness..
 
The good folks in Idaho have been tabling religiously for Ron Paul at Boise State University... The grassroots of Idaho have definitely been active. I sure hope the campaign flies Ron out there for a visit or two! Same for Wyoming!

Is Ron tired?

I can't believe it's a lack of funds. It is not that expensive to fly Paul and an Aid somewhere. So they stop using the Jet, other campaigns do. Get a hotel room or two. Get supporters to drive and continue campaigning. Cheap, yeah, but if you're trying to win ....

Do they want Romney to win?

Do they think it's better to campaign from a central location? Maybe, but it hasn't gotten us a win yet.

Do they think the task is impossible? If so they should stop asking for money.

I know I don't know how to run a campaign but I have just as many primary/caucus wins. The delegate strategy will NOT work if we have no wins. We aren't likely to get enough and even if we do the rank and file will be p!$$#% if we ram Ron down their throats and he has never had a win.
 
We really need to hit Washington and Idaho ASAP.

He can't stay in Texas all the time.
 
I think Ron probably IS tired. If you remember before the first elections kicks off, he was saying he hoped it's not a long and grueling primary season because he wasn't sure how long he'd last through that kind of rigorous campaigning. So maybe it is getting to him. He's not getting any younger, and he certainly has been a champ so far. But Ron likes speaking to young people, so why the campaign hasn't been getting him speaking events in colleges and universities across the country... Maybe they tried and couldn't secure anything... Who knows what Ron's popularity really is. Maybe they are having trouble booking events for him anywhere!

I guess we don't really know what's going on behind the scenes. If they are really trying and hitting a brick wall, if they are totally out of money and dont have needed overhead to operate, or if they simply decided to take a low-key approach. It could be any of these.

The scary thought to me... and one I've been coming back to more and more... Maybe the campaign never THOUGHT they would have to fight this hard for this long, so they never had a Plan B? What if they thought they'd win Iowa, then New Hampshire, and the momentum will catch on? What if they never thought BEYOND and never developed a what-if, so that organization in the later states could be rapidly developed. I'm scared to think that they haven't planned at all past the early states.

If you are going to be president you have to be able to handle the campaign trail. Simple as that. No serious candidate about winning has taken a week off here and a week off there in the middle of the most important parts of the campaign. This isn't September 2011....
 
This detailed newly updated information is now being shown on the Washington State RP campaign site:

Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul will be visiting Southwest Washington as the first of a two day, four stop Pacific Northwest tour of Washington and Idaho. Dr. Paul will kick off this tour in Vancouver, Washington on Thursday, February 16th. There will be a rally at the Hilton Vancouver301 W 6th Street from 3 to 7.

Don't know why this isn't shown yet on the official national campaign site "events" tab, at least not yet.

Why do you keep accepting that the only way to "win" is the way the idiot box tells you?

How much of the population has participated in the nomination? 0.50%? So if we win by having 0.026% as delegates, why is this somehow "ramming Ron down their throats"?

Did you see the WY results from 2008? They were completely meaningless.
Mitt Romney 66.67%
Fred Thompson 25%
Duncan Hunter 8.33%
John McCain 4.7%
Mike Huckabee 0%
Ron Paul 0%
