Delegates
In Iowa, all you had to do was raise your hand. A lot of people weren't willing to pay the $5, but delegates, much like electoral votes, decide the winner, not the popular vote.
Our passion can still win the whole thing.
If you are in a state that elects delegates, just raise your damn hand (even if you can only be an alternate like myself in Iowa). It's worth more than any amount of money or sign waving.
Here's an example of what happened to me in Iowa:
Rudy dominates the vote, mccain huck and paul take second. A mccain supporter raises his hand for the delegate position along with myself, he wins the spot but isn't likely to go to the convention...so as an alternate I likely got the delegate position just by raising my hand.
