RP gets some applause; Fred is a no-show at GOP fundraiser

We are going to win the DC primary. We've analyzed the voter history from the past 12 years, we've identified the "super voters" who always turn out, we have a plan to contact them all, we're identifying likely converts to register to vote or switch party affiliation before the deadline including Libertarians, Arabs, students, et al.

The DC Meetup groups are organized, we have pooled our different talents, we've devised a plan, we're motivated. We are going to win DC's primary.

Thats quite awesome!

Though I was not referring to winning DC primary votes (that can be won!), but winning a place in the DC power party machine. (speaking about DC in a less physical sense).

We're not targeting by race, no. There were supporters there tonight who were white, Asian and black. You have to realize, we only expect 3,000 total Republican votes in our primary (for 16 delegates). The voter data I have from the BoEE does not have racial descriptions. We're going by statistical likelihood of voting in the closed Republican primary.

WHOLY crap!!

Sounds like the Alabama Black belt (a whole Congressional district w/ only 3,000 Republican votes).

Great thing about these small numbers is we can get in touch w/ them personally!

Rnc

He was one of only 5 invited, and it was a GOP fundraiser. If he wants any support from the party, he should support the party.

Sure, but it was the RNC. For a former Libertarian presidential candidate, it's hard to get past the fact that if the law was applied as vigorously to those folk as it is to others, then the RNC and DNC would be shut down under anti-trust and RICO laws, their assets would be forfeited, and their principals would spend a decade or two in prison.

Excellent idea.
