Thank God!!! I was gettin ready for the big petition push and just got this from Albany Meetup.




RP News:

Just got a note from Joe Becker, the campaign attorney.

Ron Paul is on the ballot in NY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joe says:

"Let's call off the petitioners and concentrate on the delegate slate."

Thanks so much,

joe"

Jeff Gaul did a nice job staying on top of this.

I'll have more to say tonight about where we go from here.

Please spread this news. I have literally HUNDREDS of emails from willing petitioners who I will now respond to.

That's great news! With all the states coming up with ballot problems I'm glad this one is in the bag.

 

[freedom_junkie]

It took a lot of screamin and squeeky wheels to get this rollin, so, ya, whew. what do we have 5 with 45 more still to go? what's the scoop on the other states? Anyone?

 

[thehittgirl]

What does that matter? NY has closed primaries (registration ended over a month ago) and Clinton isn't running on the Republican ticket. If we get RP to the general election he'll trounce any democrat based on the war, civil liberties, taxes, and the fact that during a debate he can answer questions in a straightforward and in depth manner while actually taking a position.

Do we still fear Obama winning the Democratic ticket?

WE DON'T FEAR ANY DEMOCRATS

Not to sound racist but middle america will never vote a black man into office at least not yet.

He may get alot of votes in the major metropolitan areas but not in those hicktowns

still a hell of alot of racists


And hillary would be toast as soon as we get the nomination

I had pretty much written off my lovely home state of NY as a Rudi win with his NYC popularity, but he was beaten by Dr. Paul in a recent Young Republicans straw poll in NYC. This brings me great hope! That combined with all the Ron Paul signs I'm seeing all over the highway overpasses... Let's take NY State and blow this thing outta the water!!!

Unfortunately that straw poll was meaningless. The only chance we have in NY is A) Supporters actually getting out and spreading the message and B) lots of momentum from earlier primaries proving he really can win it.

Clinton is much more popular than Rudy, particularly amongst the minorities.

I'm upstate a little, but I heard Avery is a good guy too...he seems hard working.

Again, Clinton doesn't matter until *after* the primaries.
