MeetUp Counts by State

[csen]

I wrote a perl script to grab all the data from http://ronpaul.meetup.com/about/ and then parsed it to grab the state/member count for each MeetUp group. Here's what I got (and the bad news is I'm pretty sure if you join 10 groups yourself MeetUp counts it as 10 members):

(This doesn't count members who are awaiting a group to join, Canadians or other foreign groups)

Interesting. I cut and diced the Manhattan+ group's data a couple days ago, and we had about 400 folks from NY/NJ/CT tri-state area, and about 70 from other states who are probably listed on their local meetups as well.

We need to get Wyoming, Maine, and NH's #s up, even though they are small states, they are influential states (early primaries).
