Important update from the Maine grassroots

Great job Maine, hopefully Louisiana will rise to the occassion come the state convention.
 
Linda, I also just spoke to Julie Anne O'Brien, Maine GOP executive director, and I told her we had upwards of 50% of the delegates from Aroostook County for RP, and asked if she would correct CNN, etc. to match the "0" reported for Louisiana until we actually know what happens in Augusta on 5/3.

She told me she would issue the necessary corrections.

I am not looking at the media sites recording 18 delegates for Romney, so those of you who are need to keep us all informed if that change does indeed does take place.

Thanks!

Steve

Hmmm...OK. Give me some help. What should I say to Carol or Ron (whoever would answer)...just looking for the best phrasing...

It would seem that I am going to be asking them to ask their campaign to do their job?...yikes...How do I do that coyly, and non-offensively, as these are people they hired, right?

I don't know. You're the one who knows them and has a relationship with them. That would be like me asking you how to approach my mother--God forbid! LOL
 
Steve,

Just give them the facts as you see them.

You all did a great job, and it is up to them on what else they should consider doing. They should not put you down for being honest in your feelings.

Just my opinion.
 
Steve,

Tell it from you heart.

The words will be there when they answer.

Start with the positive news and the rest will flow.

Again, my opinion from making years of tough phone calls.
 
Either the official website is very inefficient in posting new press releases, or once again our campaign leaders are dropping the ball. Someone needs to be churning out press releases every couple of hours! This is dreadful, and yes, this Maine issue needs to be released!
 
Tell em just like it is. You've done a great job and now the public needs to know. If you were the boss, would you want to know? Just don't make it personal.
 
We've only had an upward trend ever since this precinct leader campaign and since the headquarters had a house cleaning after Iowa and New Hampshire. I'm looking forward to seeing the results tomorrow.

Nevada: 14%
Louisiana: ??(apparently we won it if they hadn't illegally changed their rules)
Oklahoma: ??(I heard we did very well there and since the media isn't reporting the results, that must be a good sign!)
Maine: 19%
 
I am also encouraged by our upward trend of late. Florida was a step back, but we are also fighting the "throwing away my vote" garbage that a lot of people buy into. Hopefully, this continues through super tuesday and beyond.
 
Steve,

Presenting something like this is like making a sandwich. You first start out with bread(fluffy white stuff that really has no serious health benefits), then you have lettuce and tomatoes(these are good for you but wouldn't taste very good just by themselves) then the meat(this is also good for you and has some substance) and finally some more bread.

First start out complimenting them on how well things have come along and how we are closer to freedom then we ever dreamed. Then present facts. And then present your concerns. And then more compliments on the excellent job that Ron and Carol have done and how you appreciate their hard work for the cause of freedom.
 
Didn't have to!!! Press release is OUT!!!:

Ron Paul Beats McCain in Maine Caucus, Primed to Win Over 1/3 of State
Delegates (2/4/08)

In the race for delegates, Ron Paul appears to closely trail Romney for
first place
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 4, 2008
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – While most reports about this past weekend’s Maine
Caucus focused on the purely symbolic presidential preference poll, in the
meaningful race to secure delegates to the state convention Ron Paul is
primed to finish second with likely 35 percent of the total delegates.
Delegates to the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis are elected
by the state delegates. Internal results from 10 of 16 counties, including
the largest cities of Portland, South Portland, Lewiston, Auburn, Augusta,
Waterville, Bangor, and Brewer, show Ron Paul picking up 215 of 608 State
Convention delegates so far reported, or 35%.
“Ron Paul’s strong second place finish in Maine, in which he beat John
McCain, is proof that this race is far from over,” said Ron Paul campaign
manager Lew Moore. “We’ll continue to battle for every delegate in this
wide-open race for the Republican nomination.”
In the presidential preference poll, with 70 percent reporting, Ron Paul is
in third place just two percentage points behind John McCain. However, the
Maine preference poll is purely a beauty contest, and in the actual election
of state delegates the so-called “frontrunner” McCain is far behind Ron
Paul.
