Nevada, Colorado, Minnesota, Maine... The fate of Liberty rests in your hands!

- Nevada (February 4th)

These are small-turnout states and if there will ever be a chance for Dr. Paul to finally pull off some wins or CLOSE seconds, this is his chance!

i would feel so much better if Romney hadn't won all of these states in 2008.

Wyoming's caucuses are in February too. First one begins on February 16 although 4 have not been scheduled yet and could be as early as February 9.

It's true that winning will not guarantee the nomination. However, it has all to do with momentum.

If Dr. Paul can come back from last place finishes in South Carolina and Florida, the effect will likely re-spark the momentum that was gained after Iowa and New Hampshire.

Turnout will be higher this election, BUT ... RP got just under 6,000 people to caucus for him in Colorado in 2008, and TODAY we had well over 3,000 people show up combined in the rallies in Fort Collins, Denver, and Colorado Springs. I'd say that is a good sign that we can far exceed the numbers from '08. The level of organization here also blows away 08, it seems.... I'm optimistic for the march of liberty here in Colorado, in spite of what seem disappointing numbers out of FL

Please, please, please!

Ground game in those states, double time, a.s.a.p.

If we can win just two of the upcoming states, things will look better.

 

[RileyE104]

It's definitely our chance in Nevada to either win or come in 2nd...
Last I heard, Gingrich is staying out of NV as well as Colorado.

IMO, our best bet for a win would be Maine.

Best bet for second (if we can't beat Romney) would be Nevada.

As far as Colorado and Minnesota, they will be tough to win but no doubt second (hopefully, if we can't win..) is very achievable.

I have high hopes for Colorado.

I also know some people back in Missouri that are very organized for the caucuses there. When I lived there in 2008, we did a good job of filling all of the delegate positions for our county. Many of those same people still live there, so I can only hope that with time and better organization they can do the same this go round.

 

[LibertasPraesidium]

I have high hopes for MN, but a 2nd place would be a very, very good showing from 2008. Remember Delegates, delegates, delegates, and I know a few.

haha yeah. >.<;;

I'm hearing very good reports from caucuses that have already occurred, including one today which Paul WON and Romney also received ZERO votes. The delegate counts are looking good thus far and things here in Maine will pick up a lot once the 4th comes around.

Maine won't let the rEVOLution down!

Wow, CNN is going to air Ron too!

Any others?

 

[The Dark Knight]

We need to knock out Santorum and Gingrich before Super Tuesday. The only chance we have is to become the "not Romney" candidate.

Is Colorado mostly liberal, conservative, or Neo-con?

 

[Monotaur]

Is Colorado mostly liberal, conservative, or Neo-con?

It depends greatly what area. Boulder is stereotypically cast as liberal, while Colorado Springs would be more conservative, for example.

Also, it's a closed state, so even in a liberal area the people who are registered Republican tend to not be.

I believe Denver is fairly liberal.

It would be great if Romney loses to Ron Paul in a state that Romney won in 2008. I do not think that has happened yet.

Is Paul running any ads in Maine? Gonna need em before Romney swoops in tomorrow.
