Kent Snyder and others in Alaska and Hawaii

[StateofTrance]

This is good. Alaska and Hawaii has raised a lot for this campaign.

In a largely symbolic move, top campaign officials for Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul visited Hawaii and Alaska this week to update supporters on the effort, meet with local party officials and hire staff where needed.

"We want people here in Hawaii, as well as Alaska, to realize that the Ron Paul campaign is designing and working on a national campaign to win the nomination," Kent Snyder, Paul's national campaign chairman, said at a news conference at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He noted that Lew Moore, the campaign manager, was making a similar visit to Alaska.

"We specifically targeted Alaska and Hawaii because it's symbolism, if you will, to show not only the residents here of our intentions of a national campaign, but also to show our supporters from around the country that we're not leaving any stone unturned.

I suspect they may be trying to throw the press off the scent by saying these are symbolic visits.

Ths is great because NO ONE else is going their and RP has ecieved a ton of $$$ from these 2 small spots and guess what these two could be a slam dunk for us so long as we get a presence!

Ron Paul is doing well in Alaska and Hawaii. Alaska meetup has over 300 people which is over the 3% needed to win the Alaska primary. Ron will take Alaska and same with Hawaii.
