We have not even started Phone from Home in SC, and there are 4 debates before SC. We will rise some

And how do silver medals and 15,000-votes-for-a-win caucuses translate to getting the nomination in Florida? Especially if Romney is the candidate who's won most of them? If we don't win SOMETHING meaningful other than caucuses we already do well in, we have no advantage going into the Convention! The Republicans will simply ignore Paul and let Romney fail as the nominee.

We ignore the South at our own peril. We'd become no different than Romney in terms of ability to appeal to them, and alienate those voters who might have voted for us if we had competed there.

Allow me to clarify what I was saying in my last post especially regarding SC. I was just laying out a realistic plan with conservative estimates that would leave us alive. The likelihood of Ron scoring a win, even a 2nd place finish in SC and FL is slim. But SC imo offers a better opportunity to score a higher finish, more delegates and splitting up delegates so that Mitt doesn't score a lot there. The delegates are to be split proportionately in all the early contest in almost if not all early contests which is a little different from 2008. So we just keep scoring up what we can until it is obvious it is us or Mitt as we have the money, ads and workers on the ground to become a force to start scoring some wins in those early caucuses, proving RP is electable. Then this campaign could catch wildfire... Obviously a surprise first in NH would speed up the movement as would a solid 3rd or better in SC and that is why the campaign is putting serious resources to work into those two states.

I have been advocating for a similar approach. I do believe 3rd in IA, 2nd in NH, 4th in SC(even with 15% or so is fine), spend little to nothing in FL, bang the heck out of NV, ME, ND, CO, WA, if we score a win or two and the rest second places then things could get interesting. Plus the PR, Guam, etc, would be a nice move if we pulled it off(non-interventionism would play well there if they do canvas for those votes).

The campaign has been on the ball so far, hopefully the super pacs have gotten the queu.
