If the media is to blame, especially FOX, how come we don't do some "Occupy FOX" type of a deal... Especially during times when they make mistakes or ignore Ron.

For better or for worse, we tried and it doesn't work.

There was a debate (or forum...) where Ron Paul was excluded and they had Luntz doing his thing in a diner (of course, the audience was full of the same undecideds as previous focus groups, just wearing different clothes). Anyway, outside there was a 'loop' of supporters with GIANT signs that could be seen through the windows. The camera had to zoom in on the audience to avoid getting them in the shot and eventually they were repositioned.

I also like the guy who ran through the building that was visible above the heads of the (same) forum participants and started placing "Ron Paul 2008" in the windows where they could be seen by the cameras. It was hard to make them out individually, but once you saw the blue and white pattern you knew. And then there was the security guards running to remove them, and of course the cameras zoomed in so they couldn't be seen.

Some of my favorite moments from the 2008 campaign.

Idaho's kind of weird, they keep voting at the caucus until it is down to two candidates, and then whoever takes more wins all the delegates for the county. We've picked up 3 counties so far for a total of 1.21 delegates so far (rounded down to 1).

Romney won all of Idaho's 32 delegates.

Their rules state that if any candidate receives over 50% of the county delegates (over 16), they win the entire state's delegates. Currently, Romney is at 16.16 delegates so he has won more than 50%.

Here we go again... Where are these results from? I need people to start being honest about where we can win and where we can't, because I'm obviously not smart enough to discern the bullshit hype from reality.

Yup, except if 66% or 2/3rds of the delegates at the Idaho State Convention are RP delegates, can overturn the state results and send who they want as delegates to the RNC.

Good point, hadn't noticed it.
 
Does anyone know if the CAMPAIGN genuinely felt they had a chance to win outright in any of today's states? Were they particularly disappointed by any of today's results, or was this about what they expected?

In my experience with the campaign, they tell the volunteers and underlings that they expect to do really well in or win pretty much every state they set up shop in. I always wanted to know what they were saying in the campaign office, though.

The day before Iowa, one of Ron's senior advisors told us "we're going to make statistical history tomorrow"! (by beating our polling numbers). We ended up under-preformed every poll.
