CAUCUS TIME: Nevada, Maine, Colorado and Minnesota

[RileyE104]

While it's good news for us that the movement is performing much, much better than it did in 2008...
To the laymen, coming in 4th in South Carolina and possibly 4th in Florida isn't perceived the same way as it is to us liberty-regulars.

That's why how the campaign fares in these upcoming four states will be crucial as far as putting momentum back into Ron Paul's candidacy!

Winning one, two, three or ALL will also help Dr. Paul in the two primaries that follow at the end of the month in Arizona and Michigan.

We desperately need at least a close 2nd in Nevada (2/4) and IMO we need to win Maine (2/4-2/11).
That way, it will look like a "come back" to the election watchers.
Then (on 2/7) the campaign can hit Colorado and Minnesota HARD and surprise the entire country!

EDIT: According to posts below, Wyoming will also be holding its precinct caucuses from February 9-29.

Are you sure?? The calender I usually reference says March 6-12 for Wyoming...

The Precinct Caucuses are held between February 9-29 and the County Conventions are March 6-10. Almost every calendar lists the March 6-10 dates but they are wrong. It would be like listing Iowa's date as June because that's when the actual delegates are elected for Iowa.

Wow. Well I hope our people in that state are as informed as you!

They are but I doubt we're going to come out of Wyoming with a delegate. It's very very tough because their caucus is set up where Precinct Committeemen/women make up 2/3 of the voting members at the County Conventions where delegates are elected and all the PCs were elected 2 years ago. I estimate that our supporters make up less than 10% of the PCs.

Hmmm.. That's unfortunate. :\
