PPP Washington

[Keith and stuff]

I thought Washington was a Paul State

Ron Paul came in a very strong last place in 2008 when there was a Democratic Caucus. I think that some of the people that voted in the Democratic Caucus in 2008 will vote for Ron Paul in 2012. He should do well in WA.

Absolute baloney. Which states? So many in here still don't understand polls. PPP were dead on for Nevada that everyone was saying Ron could win because of the ground game. They didn't do Maine. And in SC they were correct in the direction of Newt. They were correct in the direction of Santorum in Iowa. What polls cannot predict is when there is someone surging or falling what the final number will be. Many confuse that with a poll being off therefore they are wrong and always wrong. Simply not true. Also, polls cannot predict how the undecideds will fall especially in a 4 way race. Polls are a scientific point in time snap shot that is accurate within the MOE.

This WA poll is bad news for Ron as of this minute. And there is currently no indication of momentum for anyone. Just because we recognize reality does not mean we have given up.

Many here will refuse to accept any evidence that Ron Paul may do poorly. How are we supposed to win if we do not understand where we are currently projected to finish? We need to know what the real gap to close is.

I can't believe some people would panic over a caucus poll - they don't have a good track record....

I've come to the conclusion that most of the people in this country don't care about politics and just want someone who looks like a POTUS from some Hollywood movie. When I have gotten the chance to talk to Santorum supporters (I've only met 3) none of them knew about the extreme statements he has made and only care that he can "beat Obama" and that he will bomb the hell out of any country that disagrees with us. Remember, the Republicans voted in Bush, not just once but twice and even Dems aren't any better because they all voted Obama in when if they had done any research they would have realized he wouldn't do anything he said. It is really sad but these are the people (Republicans) who want an alternative to the current candidates so bad that they can't stop badgering Chris Christie and Jeb Bush to jump in the race.

That's exactly what WE need to do - tell GOP voters that Paul is the ONLY candidate that can garner enough support from Indies & Dems to beat Obama! Where's Ron's "electability" ads? We need that!

I'm in WA state and I'll tell you that I've been panicking, but I'll tell you why this is a good thing..... Due to my panick, I just called up 15 people and told them that I BEG them to come caucus and got their word, even total liberals I called and got them to agree to caucus by promising that I'll buy them dinner. Guys/women: I am nobody, just a passionate person and I just called and got promises from people who didnt even come to the rally to promise as a friend that they come caucus. Of those people, about 7 are full supporters and I made them promise to bring their parents/grandparents and friends. That probably went from 15 people to 40 people. If we just get turn out, we win! Please do the same guys!

Great work!

If I recall correctly, this poll was a ridiculous 50% evangelicals.
Don't think that will hold in a state like Washington.

A bunch of us warned everyone not to vote for PPP to poll WA.

This is why.

Um. Paul was polling like 12-17% in Maine and ended up with 36% of the vote, I say people should stop worrying about caucus poll numbers. Do what you can. Phone from home. Donate all you can.

People... The Ron Paul campaign is doing AWESOME in Washington. DO NOT PANICK! DO NOT FEAR MONGER! Ron Paul is going to do VERY well in Washington if not win it outright. The grassroots here are VERY strong and have been working on this win for months. Haven't you seen the rallies lately? Events were packed with 2k-3k people each.

If you know a Ron Paul supporter in Washington make sure you let them know that Washington is, for the first time, a caucus state and that they need to figure out where their caucus location is and when to be there ON TIME!

2 weeks is also quite a bit of time. Specifically, it's enough time for phone from home to place hundreds of thousands of phone calls to WA. The steady climb in our poll numbers in Iowa in the month preceding that caucus was due to our contacting supporters and increasing the chance they would caucus from baseline (very low) to 60% or so. We can do the same thing in WA. It is however a larger state so I'm hoping that phone from home has some way of winnowing the numbers before they call, since there is no way we can cover the entire voter base.

Attention, folks!

The OP is one of the biggest negative-nancies on the back of this planet, possibly, entire universe (or multi-verse if you will), & likely a Romney-supporter, several such Romney-supporters on this forum are fostering negativity & trying to feed us BS about a Romney/Paul ticket so don't pay attention to this negativity, do what you can to GOTV, phoning from home is something we all can do, let's just do what we can to change as many minds as we can rather than worrying about results & engaging in useless speculation Thanks!

Yes, and he would have had a chance if there weren't any polls telling people he has no chance.

Ron Paul will win Washington if you all VOTE.
