Shit. He was up to 20% not too long ago, but there are still many major areas of the state not reporting yet.

[SnappleLlama]

He's at 16%, according to CNN's website...I really hope SD pulls through!!!

[libertythor]

Where were the High Tide ads played?

[nc4rp]

[skyorbit]

thanks.

Unfortunitely, if we don't get at least 20% we don't get any delegates :(

[skyorbit]

Where were the High Tide ads played?

Everywhere ABC and/or FOX reached.

The entire state. But only those 2 channels.

[tangent4ronpaul]

Paul has 17% with 99% reporting!

If we need 20% to get delegates that's not great news...

Unless Shannon County has a Hugh Ron Paul Showing, we're screwed.

Unless somehow we can take over the State Convention in a couple weeks and change the ruling.

More power to you! The neocons have changed the rules plenty in recent states, its our turn.

Can you share any feedback on folks who saw it and comments you heard from previous non-Paul supporters?

[sidster]

Pretty good! 100% reporting and we have 17%




McCain 42,843 70% 0 100%
reporting
Paul 10,127 17%

[Paulitical Correctness]

I like to ignore the percentages and look at the number of voters.

It's much more impressive that way. A percentage is a statistic, if you break it down and realize that 10,127 individuals voted for Ron Paul, it'll want to bring a tear to your eye. Think about it, most of those McCain voters don't know squat, but a large number of those who voted for Ron know what's up and actually care about our country.

Inspiring.

I believe that, as well as playing up Ron Paul, we could start focusing on the fact that 30% of Republicans don't seem to want John McCain. How do you win missing 30%? These are probably mostly people who knew their candidate was out of the race or did not like any of the choices. I think we need to focus non Ron Paul related efforts on teaching the Republicans the idiocy of the GOP Leadership.

No ties to Ron Paul.
No ties to any Campaign.
No ties to conspiracy theories.

Strictly factual, evidentiary videos, statements, writings, letters to the editors, etc etc, of the misdeeds, foul play, and flat out mistakes of the party.

Great post. My sentiment as well.

I won't go through the litany of obstacles we have cleared to get this far. The masses are slowly, but surely waking up. Screw the percentages--that's for the news bunnies and the sheep.

Crap, no conspiracy theories? You mean we can't talk about 19 skinny Arabs with boxcutters overcoming planes full of angry men and crashing them perfectly into buildings, even though they could barely fly Cessnas, despite being trained at the Presidio and the Pensacola Naval Air Station?

Darn...and that's my favorite conspiracy theory too!

[SteveMartin]

I bet Diebold kept us from 20%.

oops....sorry.....

LOL...

I have been out and about on the 'enemy' forums, if you will. Any message that gets tied to these is immediately ignored. So, no, no matter how fanciful your theory...LOL

[SteveMartin]

Oh, no, no....that's not my theory...that's the 911 Commission's conspiracy theory.

[skyorbit]

oops....sorry.....

We don't use Diebold. We use Optronic Scan.

Bubble test type sheets.

I think it's pretty reliable.

What kept us from 20% was Absolutely NO Campaign PResence here.

If the campaign had just visited this state once. Or spent an extra $10,000 we would have got our 20.

Their Advertising Budget request person, Debbie Hopper, had to fight them, tooth and nail, just for an extra $3,500 for RoboCalls!
