If anyone has access to Obama's Michigan meetups or support groups, do you think we could ask for a vote trading agreement where MI Obama supporters, who can not vote for Obama in the primary, could vote for Ron Paul in exchange for our support in the general election against anyone other than Ron Paul, or something similar to get some of Obama's folks to vote for Ron?

nice idea. But how we know if they really vote for us?

Wouldn't this require an 'honor system' ?


But seriously...we don't need to do this.

And how do they know we will really vote for them? Either way it can't hurt. If even 5% of Obama's supporters come out for Paul, it could be the difference between 4th and 2nd, or maybe even a win.

Paulitical Correctness:
Please edit that post, it ain't gonna help the cause if someone gets referred to this thread and sees that.

We will know by the results of the primary in Michigan on Tuesday. If Ron gets 20% or more you have to assume Obama people came our way.
