More information on the 2012 Republican Primary schedule and the changes which will happen to the 2012 schedule:
KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Republican National Committee adopted a new schedule for the 2012 presidential primaries Friday, agreeing to a plan worked out in concert with Democrats and designed to delay the start of the campaign season. The proposal, drafted by a special RNC panel, gained approval from more than the necessary two-thirds of the committee's 168 members. Party leaders hailed the vote as a historic change in the presidential selection process, one that would avoid the development of a single national primary in which states choose to hold their nominating contests on the same day. The new schedule is designed to make it difficult for a candidate to rack up an insurmountable number of delegates early in the process, forcing candidates to campaign across the country.
Under the new schedule, no state would hold a primary or caucus before the first Tuesday in February 2012, in attempt to avoid a repetition of 2008, when the Iowa caucuses were held Jan. 3. Iowa and New Hampshire would retain their status as the nation's first contests, held in February, joined by South Carolina and Nevada. Other contests would generally be held in April or later, although states would have the option of holding votes in March, provided convention delegates chosen at those elections were awarded to candidates in proportion to the percentage of the vote they received, rather than in a winner-take-all system.

My thought was that maybe the ronpaulrides project could also help with rides on primary day. Taking voters that have no ride to and from the polls. Something to maybe consider. LOL... like a liberty taxi. If I come across any schedules for other events, I'll post them here.

awesome! +rep!

Close by, yes. But reachable? Maybe. I'm thinking elderly, poor, etc. Hell, a blizzard the night before the primary will ensure people stay home if not prodded. If I am remembering correctly from last time... As people went door to door, if they were receptive to Ron, they would get the voters contact info. Then closer to the primary, they would get a call asking if we could still count on them. If so, they would get the exact info on where they need to go to vote and were asked if they were able to get to their polling place. If not, a list of voters who need assistance is made...

The reason I keep saying "if they are receptive to Ron...", etc. is because we are not running a charity :)

Well, hopefully prior to these:


Monday, January 16, 2012: Iowa caucuses
Tuesday, January 24: New Hampshire
Saturday, January 28: Nevada caucuses, South Carolina
Tuesday, January 31: Florida

After that it's Super Tuesday and if someones state votes late, they might go to one of those states to campaign, but really Iowa - Florida is the chance to throw national manpower at these elections, and then people turn into lemmings ...

Also, Iowa - Florida should all have early straw polls but everyone here is ignoring everything past Iowa. :(
