Way to go PA Grassroots!

Thanks and remember the delegate filings (full slate and alternates), organize to maximize vote coverage so we get all those yummy unbound delegates.

Also, should have some people working on challenges for Romney, Santorum and Gingrich sigs. Imagine if Santorum got challenged off the ballot in Penn.

If people have signs or whatever I would be willing to drive around my area and put them all over!

 

[Perry]

Nice work guys & Gals. We are proud of you!

Just curious. What makes an UNOFFICIAL candidate listing OFFICIAL?

THIS.

My guess is that a campaign asks that they be on the ballot, which is done unofficially. Once the signatures come in and are verified, it becomes official.

Nothing is official yet. We dont even know if we have enough signatures.

Awesome!!! Wonder how poorly Santorum will do in PA.

Unfortunately despite what ppl on this forum think of Santorum, I think he will get quite a few votes in PA.

 

[John F Kennedy III]

Awesome!

Yeah, PA has its share of dumb voters. Heck they gave Gov. Swindell two terms. What's that tell ya?

The only people in PA who will vote for frothy are ones who have name recognition but had their head in the ground when he was a rep.

We had over 4000, did you read the thread? You've been acting pretty trollish lately.

Very nice job everyone in PA!

I can probably speak for most of us here that were across the country but we were monitoring and biting our nails everyday until deadline.. This was a very nice post to wake up to!

Well, I read some of it. I was under the impression that nothing is final until the following but If youre right and I hope thats the case, then yay.

I was definitely worried about the PA situation to the point where I called the campaign for answers. Not sure how thats "trollish". Still worried TBH.

FEBRUARY 21 Last day to file OBJECTIONS to nomination petitions.

FEBRUARY 22 Day for casting of lots in the Office of the SECRETARY OF THE COMMONWEALTH for position of names upon the primary ballot.

FEBRUARY 24 Last day that may be fixed by the Court of Common Pleas or the Commonwealth Court for hearings on objections that have been fi led to nomination petitions.

FEBRUARY 29 Last day, if possible, for the Court of Common Pleas or the Commonwealth Court to render decisions in cases involving
objections to nomination petitions.

FEBRUARY 29 Last day for candidates who have fi led nomination petitions for the primary election to withdraw.

They're better off in front of people's houses. Your neighbors who drive by see who you support, and they associate people they know with support for Ron Paul. Also, there is less of a chance of them being taken down for being on public property.

Too much paranoia in this forum. People scream bloody murder about every little thing. It's a huge turn-off.

The RP campaign hired petitioners who got enough signatures, but they were of questionable quality, so they turned to the delegate teams for signatures for Paul, whome they had previously told not to worry about it. The last minute rush was to switch gears and, as a cautionary measure, get some more signatures for Paul. The delegate teams likely doubled his signature count, and these signatures are of good quality, most of which will pass if challenged.

They say, as a rule, that 33% of signatures in a typical petition drive should be considered unreliable. Ergo, if you collect more than 3000, you are statistically unlikely to be challenged off. From what I've been seeing, we are well past that mark. Nobody panic.

The only thing I want to know is if the campaign has anyone reviewing and challenging the other candidates' signatures.
