Hi guys,
I see a lot of people posting about how we still have over 20 states to go for primaries/caucuses. This is true, but I'm just wondering how or why people think these others will be significantly different? What's a plausible scenario under which Ron Paul could begin winning or doing much more strongly in the remaining states?
Based on what's happened thus far tonight, I'm really leaning toward a third party run. However, I haven't closed my mind to this scenario with the remaining states in the GOP primary.
As an aside, I think voter registration deadlines are hurting us. We're lucky in my home state Minnesota, Dr. Paul is pulling a strong 16% and is winning precinct delegates across the state. However, that's because we have a very open caucus system (or so I've read, compared with others). I think Ron Paul supporters in states with deadlines ought to be fighting for same day voter registration or open primary/caucus systems in their respective states.
