We won't know until Nov. 2 (sadly) but there is a possibility that New Hampshire will move its primary date to Dec. 11. This move would help Ron Paul enormously.
We've already run TV ads and newspaper ads in the state and the official campaign will be running radio ads shortly. We poll at 6% already. We have a strong base of support here. If we can make an intense month and a half effort and win New Hampshire, we will see explosion of interest that will give us plenty of momentum, support and money that will help us in the January states like Iowa, and Nevada and South Carolina. It will be much easier to compete in those states if we have a big win like New Hampshire under our belts.
In short, an early New Hampshire primary is the kind of break out event we've been looking for. More than a debate or a straw poll or monetary figures, real votes and real delegates are counted in New Hampshire and if we win, no one will be able to spin it away. The camapaign would become about Ron Paul and that's where we want it to be.
So yes Bill Gardner, Mr. New Hampshire Secretary-of-State, move that primary date to Dec. 11. We'll be ready for it. We want you to do it.
It's the opportunity we've been waiting for.
