from here:http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=92651 we get this: http://news.yahoo.com/s/realclearpolitics/20080117/cm_rcp/notes_on_the_primary_campaign
The big news here?
3. South Carolina is the last state where we will see campaign organizations. After South Carolina, the rest of the campaign will be on television and on the Internet. There is no way to "organize" 17 states that are having primaries on the same day. And with all of the campaigns so short on cash, every available dollar must necessarily go toward media advertising. So paid media and unpaid media (news media coverage) will determine, to a large degree, the outcome of the race.
This is what we /do/ people!
Especially if you live in a super Tuesday state, sign up to be a precinct captain, talk to everyone, sign wave, put up yard signs, put bumper stickers everywhere.
Only through the grassroots can we have infrastructure everywhere. None of the candidates can afford to pay for infrastructure on the ground, we work for free!
Also, I'm not sure everyone understands what a precinct captain is. A precinct is usually /very/ small; you could get buy with one or two boxes of slim jims (free if you get them from your state coordinator). They give you literature, training, scripts, everything.
It's super simple, at least sign up and check it out!
