Maine - Forgotten, but important!

[Live Free or Die]

^We won one county in 2008, and got one delegate pledged...don't you think we can build off that?

Maine is arguably the largest welfare state in the nation. Not in total taxpayer $ (as it is not a largely populated state), but per capita. They loooove their gimme bucks from Uncle Sam. Good luck.

That seems like more of a general election problem...but a problem none the lees.

Maine will be tough. It's like West Virginia in that it is one of the poorer states and receives a ton of federal pork (courtesy of Snowe and Collins).

Minnesota however, I'm confident we can win. We need to win both, though.

I think Ron has a legitimate shot at winning a majority of the, if not all, 5 caucuses remaining between now and super Tuesday. Colorado is probably the toughest one and with the right angle (ending the drug war) we can get the vote out in droves there.

Colorado worked together to get marijuana fully legalized.

The welfare recipients probably aren't Republican.

Lets not forget Puerto Rico. 23 Delegates and look how many people vote. If we can get a foot hold there.. I bet this would be easy people.

Nevada, Maine, Colorado and Minnesota are extremely important states. Minnesota is a big state that i think Paul could win. i hope he does A LOT of campaigning there.

Wahington and Alaska too!!!

If we can't win NH, I really think we might be able to get Maine.

"Austrian Economics" appears in the Republican Platform.

I can imagine Ron campaigning in Puerto Rico....

Hopefully phone from home will target at least some of these other caucus states as time goes by. Not that they should necessarily publicize it ahead of time.

Are you kidding me? We need to find only 200 people on an island of 3 million. Not too hard.

Puerto Rico is like Hawaii. If you campaign there at all you do well because everyone ignores them. Kucinich campaigned in Hawaii in 2004 and he got 31% of the vote. Paul should make a trip to Puerto Rico and Hawaii.

Does Ron speak Spanish?

Would be just lovely indeed! They are officially campaigning here for sure.

I'm pretty sure Ron is going to Maine as one of the caucus states on his campaign swing next week. And to Idaho.

 

[seapilot]

I think Ron Paul is in Maine today. While the Rinos are fighting it out in Florida Ron is casually campaigning without any competition right now in the upcoming Caucus states.

I remember someone saying at one point that he does, but I don't have a source on that sorry.
