Paul hitting NH HARD

[jgmaynard]

OK I've lived in NH my whole life, I'm used to being hit hard by politicians. Comes with living here. But the way RP is hitting NH the last few days is amazing - I'm getting a couple calls a day, about one RP campaign worker at the door each day (OLFoD just showed up), he's been in every issue of any paper I read almost every day (either ad or story), AND I have already gotten two offers of rides to the polls (ie., the GOtV effort has already begun in full swing).

Amazing, amazing... :)

He's... Ahhh... you know. ;) :D

thanks for an update sounds great

Good stuff. Thanks for the info. It's good to know what going on in NH. Especially from the residents that live there.

[jgmaynard]

I'd like to point out also that not only did OLFoD just show up to my house, but they showed up to my house that is in the middle of freaking NOWHERE. There are 1400 people in my town and we live literally off a side road off a side road. Nice job, folks!

Smaller state, less populous, and more receptive to the message. If the campaign learned from its mistakes in Iowa, there's hope yet.

How is New Hampshire media handling the McCain 100 years in Iraq issue?

[pacelli]

Great to hear it ! I wish C-SPAN would cover it, they've been pimping Romney and McCain all day. Now they've got Kucinich on.

Ditto...

[jgmaynard]

I haven't actually turned on the TV today, my guess is that WMUR is going to ignore it and it will show up in the papers Sunday/Monday.

Great GOtV ground work in NH - LFoD state - a perfect educational/logistical foundation.

Those reading this thread also need to avoid other Iowa poll / caucus fumbles...
Know the procedure(s), know the trick(s) (however it's done in NH). No mistakes or eyes off the prize (votes as they are collected and counted) or skipping over the good doctor if NH does that citizen endorsement nonsense.

...and God bless, I hope no kid sings in NH.

Optional Exit Thumbing? How about thousands of thumbs up recorded on video or even using purple dye and a thumb tip print on sheets of blank paper offered as proof from each RP voter as they leave the electronic pllowing machine (as a sort of parity check that could be re-counted instead of a useless "electronic fraud software check" recount).

Good Luck!

In any case, RP is #1 for Liberty and best hope for our country's future.

[peacemonger]

Is he doing these town hall meetings like McCain and Romney?

I hope he is talking and taking questions. I haven't seen any reports of his activities today.

[jgmaynard]

He's done some. I wish he were doing more.

The Official website says that Dr Paul is having a televised Town Hall meeting on Sunday. (I'm sure it's to counter the forum in the tiny bus.) c/p follows:

Televised Town Hall Meeting with Ron Paul
New Hampshire
5:00 PM ET

[jgmaynard]

Do we know what channel yet? Or what show or is it a paid infomercial thing?

Thank you for reporting.
I can imagine what happen in NH now.
Go Ron Paul! Go Ron Paulers!!

The campaign hasn't learned anything - this is all grassroots.

[manuel]

We have to get this McCain "make it a 100" thing out to all of NH.

That's great to hear! And I'm really curious... do you get the same level of promotion from other candidates as well? In other words - how are we doing as compared to the competition?

[jgmaynard]

All the candidates are in full swing here since Iowa. No holds barred - that's the way I like it! :)

Here is some polling information through January 4. It appears that Giuliani is sinking fast and Ron Paul should place ahead of Giuliani, Thompson, and Hunter. However, Ron Paul appears to have flatlined a little bit since Iowa while Huckabee received a 1-2% bounce thereby expanding his lead over the Good Doctor to 3% for third place. It is imperative that the Ron Paul campaign pull out all the stops and make up this lost ground by Tuesday in order to win third place in NH.

there was a question back a bit about Paul doing "town halls" like McCain... .

http://www.concordmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080106/NEWS01/801060456

"At overstuffed campaign events yesterday, McCain and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee were in celebratory modes, both riding what they described as the campaign's momentum. Huckabee, who won the Republican Iowa caucus last week, attracted unprecedented crowds as many New Hampshire Republicans who counted him out opted for a second look. McCain, at his 100th town hall meeting of the campaign, reprised the triumphant final meeting of his 2000 primary campaign by returning to the Peterborough town hall, where he was met with a full house, plus 200 people who had to wait outside.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani seemed to compete for a different group of voters yesterday, as they made their pitches at smaller house parties. Fred Thompson, the television actor and former Tennessee senator, sat New Hampshire out yesterday, appearing only for last night's ABC/WMUR debate. "

AND I have already gotten two offers of rides to the polls (ie., the GOtV effort has already begun in full swing).



Great, I'm glad they've got serious plans to get people out to the polls.

You've made me very tentatively optimistic. :cool:

[Son of Freedom]

For all those "waiting" for the 100 year war statement by McCain to get out, it won't unless WE make it get out.

I think all of us "McCain Supporters" should call into all the shows and discuss our dismay about this. It's made me change my mind! This Ron Paul guy is catching on.

[thisisgiparti]

I am glad Ron Paul is competing with FOX and doing a Town Hall of his own

Great news!

[rtil]

This is very optimistic. Thank you for letting us know. Should be good antidote for all the people preaching doom and gloom around here.

[greenwave88]

bad news...the stream of the televised meeting in NH has been interrupted (the servers possibly fried) while it is available to NH residents on MCAM TV-23 it is not available to anyone else. The voters have access to it if they know its on but anyone out of state can't view it.

[Victrix]

Very encouraging to hear all this. OLFoD and National keep it up!
