This is a disaster!!! The Campaign has not and is not learning anything from thier defeats thus far.....
Ron should have been in Maine today, certainly tomorrow. Saturday is way, I mean way too late.!!!!
I am convinced now without a win Saturday and based on this lackitasical attitude of Campaigning to Win a State many RP Supporters will become bystanders.
Watch the No One But Paul Money Bomb fizzle without a will to win.....especially if we lose Saturday and yes a second place finish in the Pine Tree will be a HUGE LOSS!!!!!
This is becoming ridiculous. I understand that he is old and needs rest. His heart may not even be 100% into this election. I get, understand, and to a certain extent respect that. But that is many millions of dollars going down the drain.
Chill out.
Romney just lost three states in a row.
He NEEDS a win. Paul is going to let him have Maine, to get his momentum back.
You know nothing about the delicate balancing act that is going on. Ron is a playing chess, not checkers.
The LAST thing we need now is a win.
I just hope Romney can pull it off. If Ron Paul for some reason comes in first, it will totally screw up the master plan.
/sarcasm
THIS. Romney has now made the state huge as he is sticking his neck out by visiting on Friday AND going up with an ad buy. If he loses, he can't say he didn't contest it. This is an all out fight for victory people and we can not let it slip away! Paul needs to eat, sleep, and drink in MAINE from now until Saturday night!paul needs to go to maine. now.
... it almost does seem that there are those here that truly think this way. =/

Same thing happened in South Carolina. Paul had momentum from NH and was polling at 20%. He went home for a few days and was promptly ignored by the media for the rest of the time leading up to the election. Paul should have flown straight to Maine Wed. If he needs to rest he could have rested most of Wed. and all of today.
You are absolutely right. I love the ideals that Ron Paul presents, but maybe he really never will be quite ready for the presidency. I don't believe that just yet, but it is becoming more and more likely. Everyone wants to try this "distance race" nonsense. I don't see it. Others say he is "infiltrating" the GOP like a super spy. That isn't in any way his MO and it would make me wonder who else he deceives. Ron Paul is an idealist and a man who's works I will read for years to come. His lectures change my entire mode of thinking into something simple yet effective. He makes us(his supporters) the tip of the spear. The problem is that the campaign simply isn't do its job. I don't know if Paul is either. If he job is really to become president that is.If he flew directly from MN to ME and took a day of rest it would be understandable. What is restful about flying from MN to TX for a day or two and having to fly back to ME...? All those air miles would tire me out.
