Who here thinks we can win Texas now?

[twomp]

2008 Primary:
Votes Percentage

John McCain 697,767 51.21%
Mike Huckabee 518,002 38.02%
Ron Paul 66,360 4.87%
Mitt Romney 27,264 2.00%

A Texas (May 29) win heading into California (June 5) a few days later?

We need a "Pre-Iowa" atmosphere again? Spring is here and the smell of R3VOLUTION is in the air!

I have been door to door a bunch here in the north Texas area. Nobody likes Obama, or Mitt. and "I like Ron but he can't win" so it was going to be a Sandtourm state.... I bet there is fraud and Romeny wins.

 

[Jarg]

Yes he can easily win gingrich will also be pushing hard there to make his final stand this is apparently he campaign is bankrupt.

So this is now a paul romney race

 

[digitaldean]

Paul needs to come out with a new ad that shows he can win in a general election. Half of the people voting for Mitt are doing so because they think he is the best to beat Obama. They need to see the crowds Paul gets/people in trees lol to see he is the best chance to beat Obama.

I don't know... has Ron worn a Cowboy hat lately?

Maybe Alamo fundraiser, or funding to the Military Industrial Complex across Texas?

I mean even Ben Bernake welcomed military members back to Texas in the wee early morning hours in Texas. Ron should of been there... not that shill Bernake, which of course was broadcasted nationally, across corporate MSM.

It might be the most awesome thing in the world if Ron came to a rally open-carrying.

"Electability" against Obama is the ONLY reason Romney is getting ANY traction, most Repubs HATE him with passion & with all the "unelectable" meme that's been spread about Ron, we MUST present Ron as ANTI-OBAMA!

Open carry is illegal in TX (with or w/o CCW).

 

[eleganz]

They actually prefer conceal carry in TX.

And yes I think Ron can win.

No idea on Texas but it's gonna help us big time in MO!!!!

When you get that again, ask them, "If he can't win, why does the MSM put in so much time and effort to emphasize that?"

 

[Texan4Life]

I hope so, but frothy and newt will likely do well.

love the new TX ad tho. I think that will go over very well.

^ This.

We're having that nice Philly Phreedom event, I urged about 20 of my friends/family to buspool together. We need bigger pushes in Texas!

I am not saying he can't, but giving the numbers from 2008 is meaningless. Romney was not IN the race for Texas last time.

This probably doesn't change how many delegates Romney will get from Texas. At least not lower them. IT may change who CAN beat him, but in terms of keeping delegates out of Romney's hands, it is not a positive. Not for Texas or any of the rest of the states.

Any way you look at it, Romney is going to pick up SOME new votes. Maybe not all of Santorums. Maybe not even most. But some will choose to vote for the "front runner" now. And since he was already so close to 50% is so many of the states moving forward, it is not good for Ron Paul for Romney to pick up even one more vote.

Texas by & large rejects Liberty candidates , on the national front last 3 Texas prez LBJ, Bush 1 & 2 how can you get better gov. control candidates than that ?

The last Rep Gov. race ... Texas Rep far preferred Tricky Ricky over Debra Medina

Most Texans & Especially Texas Republicans do not like Ron Paul

I could go on & on but when it comes to freedom & liberty my experience with most Texans is that the are All Hat No Cattle LOLLL !!!!!

I'm sure there are others, lets dig them up and spread them around!

Santorum dropping is a double edged sword, we can either step up and make it ours, make an advantage out of it or we can let the media make it theirs and we all know what that'll be.

This is so true! There are anti-Romney people out there. We need to make every effort to take their votes before the media does. With all the good rally's coming out of California last week and the rallys in Texas this week, we need to build on this momentum. This is our chance!
