This may not seem significant, but I think it is. Ron Paul received 8% of the vote in San Francisco County, the only county which lies in the 8th District. He received 4.3% in the entire state.

There is definitely a libertarian presence in that district that John Dennis needs to go after.

Republicans and libertarians will already be voting for him. He needs to spend all his time going after the democrats!

Yes, but that was 8% of 36k votes, so about 3K votes. Now compare this to the 200k votes cast for Democrats in the same election. John needs to focus on wooing Democrats(period)
