Im thinking of moving to a more friendly Ron Paul state. One where a Ron Paul supporter could have a at least a little impact, and isnt facing such HUGE resistance such as NC (NC are kinda retarded since our elections are so late and its all "decided" already for them so they dont have to be burdoned by "thinking" about it.)


im currently thinking of Washington or Oregon. or maybe NH for the FreeStateProject.

any opinions? (ps. not one of those flat corn-field states, i need some hills and nature :D)

Why not move to Lake Jackson, Tx? That is probably as Ron Paul friendly as it gets...

Montana. It funded RP the most, it has legislators that support RP, and it doesn't have a huge population. This means the individual supporter has a greater impact on the percentile than in more densely populated zones. RP is also slated to do well there in the primary, and had 25% in the caucus.

Oh, and Montana has lots of nature and whatnot. It is beautiful country with lots of natural features.

Alaskan's are easily the most Ron Paulish. Most just aren't aware of it yet. I mean this sincerely.

Anyone know what percentage of the vote RP got in Idaho?

Yeah, it's got wind chill that will kill you.

How come the states with decent weather are so damn communist? :confused:

Ron Paul would cut all the Pork spending that Senator Ted Stevens brings to Alaska.

Dr. Paul got 23% if I recall correctly. I think I'd say that Montana is the most "Ron Paul" because Paul got 25% there, in a 4-way race and coming in 2nd. However, that's just my opinion.

New Hampshire by far. Don't look at votes, since later races mainly attract anti-McCain protest voters and other candidates dumped a lot of money in NH. Look at per-capita donations, grassroots activism, etc.

I've become disillusioned with the Free State Project myself, but it is in fact the most libertarian place in the country.

Over 100,000 votes in PA. I think that is the highest of any state. But if you calculate the vote density, other states may be higher.

However, RP got the 25% in Montana without most of the people. It was a caucus that only allowed Repub officials. We will see in the primary what happens.

Also don't look at LP votes in prior elections because some "safe" states attract more third party votes, and ballot access is easier in some states that others.
