Each of the states Ron is doing best in are OPTIONS. We don't know until we win until state convention when it all comes together. But there are a bunch of them. ND wasn't the one I most thought we would win, after the way the vote went, but it was one we could win. If Santa has a bunch of people who stayed the course, he may get the win there just because he won the preference poll and sometimes that influences discussions but it sounds like we may still come away with a lot more delegates than the AP was giving Ron there. Or may not, because they are still counting ballots. But that would still be a different delegate count than the AP has because they gave the most to SANTORUM and if Romney gets them that is 'real'. Things are in flux still.

I think you're mistaken there, Ivash.... I think he knows about the real delegate count (how could he not?) and he also knows that if he doesn't agree to show up, the debate may not happen, and if it doesn't happen, Paul gets no TV time from it. Every televised debate lately gives Paul a boost.

I have a lot of friends within Romney's campaign, and the delegate count they are using is similar to the one the nation media has. If they can knock out Santorum, the race is over. Thus, Santorum is the only one that can stop them, and he is the only one they fear.

I even aired the idea of Ron Paul being a threat to their campaign, and one of my friends in Romney's camp chuckled a bit. They really do not see Dr. Paul as any sort of threat.

So at least we fly under his radar.

The higher up that's true the better, but I'll take what I can get with that regard either way, even just voters on the ground still = :D
 
Where do I buy tickets? I want to to be one of those people in the crowd making loud cheers for RP forcing the station's sound engineers to mute me out. Hopefully I can find a way to trick them into letting my cheers get through. It'll be like a game.
 
I wish the campaign would run an anti-media ad. Show videos and photos of Ron Paul rallies-- the candidate the media does not want you to know about. Give the statistics on % coverage of the Paul campaign, from last year to the present. Paul has probably gotten around 3% of the coverage yet he does as well as Romney against Obama. Take the media down.

Yes, this would satisfy us who have been with him for as long as you have. But the point of TV ads is to acquire new demographics of supporters - not to strengthen the demographics we've already got locked in. Criticizing the media networks these more mindless individuals watch is not the way to go. Also, do you really think any of the major networks will allow an ad that (correctly) criticizes their broadcasts?
 
Any news if Romney accepted or not? Would make him look bad if he doesn't join :D
 
Hoping that Romney declines and it still gets televised. Would be a win-win.
 
With Santy out, this debate won't happen

it would of been incredibly awesome to attend :(
