And consider that almost all of our GOTV activity has to do with calling people who vote often. Those are not our people. With Ron Paul, calling supervoters means calling old people. And finding them. Most over 65+ women just don't like Ron Paul. Most 18-29 men do like Ron Paul.
But we call a specific list. And our people, our core base, isn't on that list. So, our people aren't getting phone calls. Someone like rp08orbust can tell you that we're going to find more Ron Paul supporters if we call ALL CELL PHONES and fewer if we call SUPERVOTERS.
My town in Maine had a short list of Ron Paul supporters id'd. I was on that list. I showed up and voted. One other Ron Paul person did. One of our id'd voters was a woman in her 80s. She got a lot of phone calls. And she didn't vote for Ron Paul. Obviously extremely anecdotal.
Ron Paul is in an extremely rare position. He wins a demo cleanly. 18-29 year old males. Everywhere, this is the case. But all effort is spent on identifying Ron Paul supporters from lists that do not include a lot of Ron Paul supporters. It's a good thing to do this, typically, for a typical candidate. And we do get votes from this.
But we have to understand that many many of our voters aren't on those lists.
