Ready for FLORIDA?!

[RonRules]

All I want is to beat Santorum in Florida. That's a must and doable.

Grassroots in Florida should be focusing on becoming delegates (even for other candidates) or supporting existing delegates for Paul. This is honestly our best chance that Florida can help Dr. Paul.

Neverseen.....keep posting on everything the Florida Ron Paul Nation is doing for Ron Paul......YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!

Your operation is the HIGHLIGHT of the Campaign right now. Pure Grassroots..................

I disagree, but it might depend on what you mean by support. Even strengthening the organization for the general deserves some support. A flyer on social security etc would be a good investment, I think, for example. Phone banking Nevada is really important, but each state has to be addressed as it comes up. I agree, we are not expecting delegates out of Florida, but I hope Ron on Monday when he is there for the debate does a few stops in different parts of the state. Grassroots are working hard for him there.

FL supporters are definitively important. I just think they should be using their efforts to get the vote out in other states. We will get zero delegates from FL, unless Grinch or Romney drop out after winning FL. In that case maybe we would get delegates who have become "free agents." I'm not sure what the rules are in FL.

Anyway, caucus states have a better chance of bringing us delegates. We should put all hands on deck for these states.

Yes, if Grinch drops we could get his delegates to vote for us.

Go Florida. Never give up - I have a good feeling for some reason. Maybe the fact that everyone has given up on the state makes what you guys/girls are doing seem all the more important. I drove from Texas to St. Pete a few weeks back with stickers on the car and got plenty of thumbs up especially in South Florida. My friend down there said Paul gets pretty good media coverage and has many supporters. That's good enough for me.

Remember Florida is a CLOSED primary and you MUST be registered Republican at least 30 days before voting.

I did an over the counter ballot. Almost no one votes in FL on the 31st

Over the counter ballots started in Dec or early Jan and early voting started last week. Bet you perry gets a high amount due to people casting before he dropped out :X

That means Romney's likely to outperform the polls here since he was the inevitable nominee for the last three weeks.

My mom and I just voted today for Ron here in Florida.

I agree. We can beat them at their own game.

It's too bad Gary Johnson is still on the ballot!

 

[specialkornflake]

I voted early today in St. Augustine Beach, FL. Lots of Romney signs and 1 Santorum sign. Anyone know how to get RP signs to put at local polling places?

Florida has a lot of an older population that is concerned about Social Security. They paid in, they should get their money. It is their's. The opponents will try to smear Dr. Paul with lies. He will have to step up on that. I might be naive but I believe that Congressman Paul can win Florida. It is winner take all and we need the delegates.

 

[heavenlyboy34]

FL is winner take all. It would be better to get FL supporters to help out in NV, CO, ME and MN. Call from, etc. We won't win FL and therefore we won't even get one delegate. Romney or Grinch will get all of them.

I could use some help in AZ as the time for primaries get closer. Getting 2nd in NV last time seemed to help in AZ, IIRC.

I hope that we can sweep Super Tuesday. We will take the nomination after that.

It's actually not theirs. The government stole theirs and spent it on other things. The money they are getting now is the money that I earn.

But getting 3rd in Florida is very important for getting rid of Santorum, and also for momentum/perception/media attention.

Hear, hear. The island is sinking and there is only room for three candidates.
