ONLY 200 votes in 61 of the counties would win them

We can do this people!!!!

[newyearsrevolution08]

I can't believe they propped thumpson up so well before mcstain

[mlee45]

This is why I feel like door to door campaigning could really help.....getting 200 people to vote for Ron per county does not sound like that out of the question!

This is why I feel like door to door campaigning could really help.....getting 200 people to vote for Ron per county does not sound like that out of the question!

Lets say we have 5% support in IA, so we have to knock on 4,000 doors per county to get those 200 votes. IIRC, there are 103 counties, so that's contacting 412,000 people or about 1/6th of the population of the state.

And we have Meetups in what - 7 counties?

The good news is that it would only cost $20,600 in slim jims!

I'm thinking letting them come to us at county fairs might be more realistic, but we don't even have that many of those staffed.

[BUSHLIED]

All you have to do is hire 100 people to staff the county fairs. Pay the person $100-200 for the day and give them signs and slim-jims. The person in charge, could then solicit a few volunteers to talk about Ron and hand out materials. What is the average cost of buying a table at the fair? Overall it would run less than 75K to get this done, a drop in the bucket to accomplish this. So, if it is true that a large percentage of the fairs are NOT staffed and go unstaffed, it is simply a matter of incompetence of the campaign...the supporters are there, contact supporters in the respective counties, get them on board, have them come to a meeting, give them supplies, talk about strategy, cut them a check for half and then the rest after the event...simple organization skills.

[PaulConventionWV]

I might remind everyone that it probably wouldn't take as many votes as it says to win each county. If you convert some people from one of the other candidates (especially the leader) to Paul, then that takes votes away from them at the same time that it adds votes to Paul. Don't forget that when you're talking to traditional Republicans. They are a very important group.

[mlee45]

BUSHLIED & PaulConventionWV...I like your ideas...

Now we just need to come up with an official idea, and start doing it! :D:D:D

[Uriah]

there are 103 counties
-t

Actually, there are 99 btw. :D

This is also assuming the same number of people vote in the caucus as in 2008. 2008 was a record year for turnout so the numbers needed to win may be much lower. About 122,000 voted in the Republican caucus in 2008 as compared to about 87,000 in 2000.

BUSHLIED & PaulConventionWV...I like your ideas...

Now we just need to come up with an official idea, and start doing it! :D:D:D

Thanks, my ideas are common sense. If the goal is to simply staff each of the county fairs, then all you really need is 1 person in charge of each fair. If they are motivated enough to do this, then it would be safe to assume they could find a few other supporters to help them distribute materials and talk to people that drop by. If the person wants to do this and get paid, the incentive is there for the person to come to a "county fair staffer" meeting at the HQ to meet with Steve or Drew. They all meet each other, talk about decorum, ideas, goals etc...pick up supplies based on the number of total caucus votes for each county, smaller counties get less supplies than larger counties. Donation slips, volunteer sign up sheet, yard signs, slim-jims, DVDs, etc...the campaign mails the fair fee to the appropriate person and the person simply goes and sets up...

Ron then has a base to work out of...the campaign can assign a schedule for Ron to drop by the fairs and shake hands for 1 hour or two and move on...he doesn't have to hit all the fairs nor is that possible..but pick some that are 'strategic' and implement. If people know that Ron could be showing up, supporters will be there and hand around waiting to get a chance to meet Ron...

Quite frankly, they should put together a Ron Paul 2012 DVD outlining his positions, the movement, his record, family etc...make it a short 7 min video. At the end say, if this sounds like a platform or candidate you could support, please consider VOTING for Ron Paul in the SP, donate, volunteer, get involved etc...call this number or go to Ronpaul2012.com

This is what the media means by "organizational strength." If the campaign cannot organize staffing for county fairs...well....how can they organize for the Iowa Caucasus? If the goal is organize for the caucus, then each county should already have a COUNTY CAPTAIN or use the fairs as a trial run to identify respective county organizers who will later help turn people out at the caucuses....consider the fairs as a dry run for the real deal...I assume that this is already the campaign plan anyway (if not then it should be)...not sure why the fairs aren't staffed already??... I mean if the straw poll is the main goal for the campaign at this point then with 6 weeks to go, then all this should already be happening NOW.

Anyone from IOWA know what's going on out there? The campaign has been official for 6 weeks now...they have the money! I think there was a thread about this, with a huge list of all the IA fairs...

I thought that C4L was developing all this for the last few years...my assumption was that the campaign planned to just tap the "non-official" C4L members in IOWA, who they would have already trained through their 'training' programs...and BOMB, you have highly trained team ready to ROCK...that is what I was thinking when I saw C4L and YAL take over the last two CPACs and held trainings....I always thought Ron was going to run, and C4L was the 'in the meantime' de facto 2012 campaign team anyway...isn't that what everyone does?

if all of what I am saying is true and there is just a lack of communication or deliberate secrecy to not tip off the establishment, then Ron should crush IOWA...

the only thing that scares me is that to win delegates you have to win the county, so Ron could pull a Fred Thompson, come in third with say 15% and walk away with NO delegates...well at least 2 cause I am sure he will take Jefferson again.

That being said, NH is much more difficult cause they have over double the amount of voters...

[Elwar]

Does each county get a delegate and then delegates are counted toward votes for the winner?

Or do the larger population counties get a set amount of delegates?

[Badger Paul]

Focus east.

[kill the banks]

another thing when you hit the restaurants [ hit them all ] even for a coffee get the word out on tips ... and just might raise enough interest to make a real positive momentum for ron here as well ... staff will push families to vote for ron

I know there is a flyer about the 'no tax on tips' floating around the forums somewhere that might be helpful. Also, there is a project w/ drink coasters 'no tax on tips' being worked on.
Here is a link to CNN's Iowa interactive map w/ '08 results.

Just commenting on the last thing you said about New Hampshire.....I think the best thing to do would be for Ron to focus a lot more attention on Iowa, and get a win there....and then the votes in New Hampshire, and everywhere else would flow. A win in new hampshire brings hope to anyone that has ever looked at him...and it would easily steal votes from the tea party, and it would open a lot of people's eyes. HE would definitely be the front runner after that moment....

Do you think that with all the ground game by Romney and others concentrated in NH that an Iowa win by Paul is enough to then go on to win NH? I am not so sure. Huckabee won Iowa and he didn't get the bump in NH, he came in a distant 3rd place. McCain won NH after a 3rd place showing Iowa...

Iowa, while some say is a bellwether, it has not been as predictive the last few cycles from what I understand. Ron needs a stronger organizational effort in NH than Iowa, simply because he has more competition and there are more voters...Also, the media can downplay IA but they simply cannot downplay NH...McCain went on to win after a win in NH...you got to pump at least two million in each state right now at Minimum...whatever we raise this quarter has got to be already 'spent' or allocated for IOWA and NH now...we have two more moneybombs coming up quickly to replenish the campaign...

The 2nd quarter reporting will show just how much the campaign has spent since the beginning of his run.
