Stop Being Negative. We Have Well Overperformed In The First Three States.

Ah, you are wrong. This was very bad news tonight. Spinning it any other way is denying reality. Don't get me wrong, I will support and campaign for Paul till the end, but I am realistic about his chances of winning be very low right now.

No he's not, SC was never in play. The campaign put some effort into ads but little else, it's not a stronghold for liberty to be sure. Much like not going after FL, all the negative nancies will be out crying over how we didn't get FL. Look to the West, that's where we're marking our stand.

Thank you for this post, 1836. I just read through your entire post about Ron Paul's path to the nomination (the one you linked) and it was quite enlightening. I'm more excited about his chances now than ever before. I'm going to try and be a delegate when the time comes in Texas.

Fantastic ATX! I assume you are in Austin. Let me suggest you contact (and anyone else reading this in Travis County) your Meetup group there for some further help in how to get to the county and then state convention; as well, you have a number of folks there who are very experienced in the liberty movement at the state GOP level such as Don Zimmerman and Robert McDonald.

You have no shortage of great liberty organizers there in Austin who can help you through the convention process.

And for the record, here are the statistics.

Iowa: 2008 - 9.9%. 2012 - 21.4%.

New Hampshire: 2008 - 7.8%. 2012 - 22.9%.

South Carolina: 2008 - 3.6%. 2012 - 13.0%.


Dr Paul's share of the vote was more than doubled in Iowa, almost tripled in New Hampshire, and in South Carolina was over 3.6 times what it was last time.

Sure, I would have liked him to win, but we need to be realistic.

Stay positive, guys, we got this victory wrapped up!

How do you become a delegate? Specifically for Ohio (Which apparently Santorum isn't going to be on the ballot in three districts).

So thats a 12% average gain over 2008 so far.
