Remaining States -- A Strong Finish for Ron Paul

[Paul4Prez]

I looked at the fundraising data for the remaining states, and Ron Paul could finish strong, especially if everyone else assumes the race is over and stops turning out to vote. Ron Paul was the leading fundraiser in 8 of the remaining 17 states compared to McCain and Huckabee:

The list below shows the remaining primaries, and the percentage of the three remaining candidates' funds raised in each state by Ron Paul:

Date State RP Pct
19-Feb WI 41.0%
19-Feb WA 56.6%
4-Mar OH 38.8%
4-Mar RI 33.3%
4-Mar TX 32.6%
4-Mar VT 28.4%
11-Mar MS 14.6%
22-Apr PA 42.1%
6-May IN 47.3%
6-May NC 30.4%
13-May NE 41.7%
13-May WV 53.6%
20-May KY 52.2%
20-May OR 53.4%
27-May ID 51.8%
3-Jun SD 30.7%
3-Jun NM 56.1%

In other words, Ron Paul out-raised McCain and Huckabee combined in Washington, West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, Idaho, and New Mexico. He was also the leading fundraiser in Indiana and Nebraska.

Let's keep working hard, and keep showing people how much support Ron Paul really has.

outraising doesnt mean jack, dont get peoples hopes up. I'll bet you he gets 3rd in very state mentioned. sorry :/

Hope is what this campaign is all about. If it were not for hope we would not even have tried to compete in the presidential race. I still hope that Ron Paul does well in all the states that Paul4Prez posted. Just because you have given up on Dr. Paul does not mean that the rest of us have. Please leave your negative comments at the door, no matter how much of a "realist" you might try to be.

Defeatist attitudes get you no where. No one said it would be easy, but it also doesn't mean it is impossible. The fact is that he DOES have more support than most believe. Many supporters either don't vote because they assume McCain has already won or they vote for Huck to spite McCain.

But even if Ron didn't end up winning, why do people think this is so black and white? This Revolution is NOT TIED TO THIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN!!!! It is merely a stepping stone. It is the spark and a rally point for people to begin taking their country back. If you really believed that this was only about a Presidential nomination, you've missed the entire purpose; you've skipped over the ENTIRE message.

There are MANY MANY ways to take back control of this country, but to tell people not to get their hopes up assumes that nothing can or ever will be done, and if you believe that then why would you be here at all?

We have proven that there are hundreds of thousands of people who still have hope for this country and virtually everyone who truly becomes informed on the issues is converted. There are dozens of Ron Paul Republicans who are now running for Congress and other offices and several of them have ALREADY WON!

This is just the beginning. We are just scratching the surface. Ron Paul simply tipped the first domino.

OF COURSE the people with power aren't going to give it up without a fight.
OF COURSE there will be setbacks and some defeats.
This isn't a battle.
This is a WAR.

I have to agree with this. We don't need to destroy any more hopeful Ron Paul supporters' hearts and make them quit the whole movement altogether.
