This suggestion was buried in a rather long post, so I'm re-posting it in its own thread for urgency:
We therefore cannot let Ron Paul lose this straw poll. We need to treat it with the same zeal that drove the Christmas break canvassing in Iowa or Operation Live Free or Die in New Hampshire for the 2008 race. If you are attending the SRLC, then take the next couple days to become the biggest pain in the ass to your friends and relatives you can be until one more of them agrees to come with you and vote for Ron. And once you get to New Orleans, vote, and then don't return to the convention until you've found at least one stranger in Harrah's casino who is willing to be dragged to the convention for half an hour to vote for Ron Paul. In fact, don't stop canvassing at the casino until Campaign for Liberty runs out of free tickets to give away. Tell those gamblers that unless Ron Paul wins the presidency in 2012, their favorite pastime may not be legal the next time they visit the Big Easy.

If I weren't stuck down here in Australia, I'd be out doing the above myself for the whole conference, so someone else is going to have to take the lead on this.
As you can see, the casino is a stone's throw away: http://maps.google.com.au/maps?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Hilton+New+Orleans+Riverside+Two+Poydras+Street+ New+Orleans,+Louisiana+70130&fb=1&gl=au&hq=Hilton+New+Orleans+Riverside+Two+Poydras+Street&hnear=New+Orleans,+Louisiana+70130&cid=0,0,3637270343315279328&ei=LwG8S4f9CpHg7APLpK3MBQ&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CAoQnwIwAA
