We can sweep WA, AK, ID, and ND

[Naraku]

Look at the results from 2008:

Washington

John McCain 3,228 25.9%
Mike Huckabee 2,959 23.52%
Ron Paul 2,740 21.64%

Alaska

Mitt Romney 5,988 35.87%
Mike Huckabee 2,996 21.86%
Ron Paul 2,363 17.24%

North Dakota

Mitt Romney 3,490 35.82%
John McCain 2,224 22.83%
Ron Paul 2,082 21.37%

All of those were caucus states and we got really good numbers back in 2008. Here is how it went in Idaho:

John McCain 87,460 69.65%
Ron Paul 29,785 23.72%

That is more than a fourth of the Republican vote in the general election and a sixth of the overall vote in the general election and Idaho was a primary that year. Now we have a caucus in Idaho.

Something more important is the schedule. Back then only two were on the same day and the rest were after that, Idaho being especially distant. On the other hand, this time around, Washington is three days before Super Tuesday and all the other three contests are on that day. In other words we have the very real potential to achieve a four-state sweep within three days.

Or get ready for Maine 2, 3 and 4....

The GOP seems pretty intent on screwing us.

last time around i didn't even write down RP when i signed for my caucus as i knew i'd be a delegate anyway and somehow believed that stealth was the way to fly. same for my friend and many others in this not-so-liberty-friendly area, so that's at least 2 more votes that didn't count in 2008

to be honest, i wasn't really aware that we were tallying straw-poll votes in 2008.

Go Huskies! Go Sounders!

To bad we didn't replace them in 08/10 when we could have(since we are a grassroots powerhouse)

And we are failing to do it again in 12.

Go to your local party conventions. Replace the party. and quit the bitchin'

Your Right! I'm always tired of numbers coming showing a victory for Ron Paul, then it stalls and magically Mitt wins

i see this clusterfuckofconfusion over which non-Ron dude to pick actually helping us here if we can convince a bunch of folks to come with us. many of us became PCOs (precinct committee officers) in '07 and have maintained them since. we have at least one County GOP chair, and we've made other inroads as well all for this moment.

so the help we in Washington need is for folks in places like this to talk your acquaintences - whatever the relationship - about making a difference with minimal effort.

Romney will most likely win Idaho (Mormons/Utah).

Unless he really keeps free-falling...

And in that case...let's win Vermont and Virginia as well!!!

 

[eleganz]

ESPECIALLY NORTH DAKOTA.

TRUST ME WHEN I SAY....


They're almost ALL undecided! so get on the PFH system so we can target the mail at them!!!!

 

[BuddyRey]

I seem to recall that we performed splendidly in North Dakota back in '08. I can only imagine how much better we may do this time.

From my own personal experience...victory in ND is in our grasp but we have to work for it.

EVERYBODY MUST Phone from HOME!

Haven't talked to a single person that supports Romney here. Paul on the other hand, has a lot of support.
