New Hampshire more Important than Ever!!

[SamuraisWisdom]

Ron needs to get back into the spotlight and nothing will do that except a solid 2nd place finish in New Hampshire. Right now, it looks like Mitt is running away with the state, but if we can pull off 25-30% of the vote or more than people will have to view Ron as a legitimate contender. Iowa was a bit of a letdown, and there were many factors that played into it, but hope is not lost. We need to rebound and do so quickly. We are still in this!!

Ron needs to be there today.

[sailingaway]

We know we are. Ron is estimated tied for first in delegates from Iowa. What we lost was the media credibility, but Santorum isn't going anywhere in NH, and Ron is. I think we did gain credibility, there is no question anywhere that Ron is top tier, now. Look at the votes the next closest got -- it is an entirely different tier.

He needs to act like a top tier candidate. He needs to go to NH and talk about his momentum (which he does have).

We need a solid 20% or more but we definitely need to finish ahead of santorum, newt and huntsman. We cannot have any of them finish ahead of us in NH. Let's get to work!!

Agreed. Too much effort has been put into this campaign by everybody here. It would be a shame if Ron and his campaign were to let up now.

I've been working on NH for weeks -- "phone from home" voter ID.
I'm amazed the number that choose Romney first, Ron Paul second.
There are lot of voters that can be convinced once we identify them.

Ron is running for president, not you.

The next one listed is the debate. Not sure if there are any tickets left.


The ABC/WMUR New Hampshire Debate will be held at the Dana Center at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, 100 Saint Anselms Drive, Manchester, New Hampshire on Saturday, January 7th at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.

Right, and not performing up to his potential there could hamper momentum and lose him the election. There's no reason to ignore a state you are primed to do well in.

We have 6 days...better get all the NH Ron Paul voters energized

[69360]

Yes, and the next state to vote is NH.

He's doing better than anyone ever expected even 2 months ago. Lay off on second guessing his decisions and making armchair quarterback demands. He's human.

They are all human. The whole point of momentum is to ride it.

[andy mcdee]

Is Nh "winner takes all" or does the campaign have a chance to claim some delegates either in the open (or stealthily as in Iowa)

I think it's proportional...but I'm not sure

[Badger Paul]

It is proportional.

Oh yeah, there's a big shin-dig in manch. They're renting out a pub/restaurant, we're going door to door, then in the evening golden state is playing, Tom Woods is speaking, and we'll watch the debate.

[White Bear Lake]

It's proportional unless a candidate wins a clear majority. If Romney breaks 50%, he gets all the delegates.

[braane]

Ron needs to really rock it in the debates. If Mitt could somehow blunder away his lead, that would be great too.
