We Can Still Win Maine: Calling ALL New England Supporters: Washington County Feb. 18

I have it up on the Daily Paul as well: http://www.dailypaul.com/213536/lets...and-supporters

Washington County is the East Most county in the U.S., thus, it is a far drive for New Englanders. From Boston (where I am now) it is 300 miles. I'll have to talk someone with a car into driving, so I'll need to bribe them with gas money and lunch, yet, I am struggling to buy myself lunch these days (on 5+ months of travel/campaigning). Any help will be appreciated (any extra funds I'll kick to other supporters that make it out to help cover gas/food): http://jaktober.chipin.com/the-free-...ent-sun-winter

This might seem like a huge effort for only a couple hundred votes, but getting the books changed (as they did in Iowa) will give us that state victory that'll put us into the general publics radar as a WINNING candidate.

There's also a petition out calling for the Maine GOP to count all the caucus precinct results: http://www.change.org/petitions/main...ington-county#

Do you mind posting that as a comment on my article (way more powerful coming from someone else): http://freeindependentsun.com/republ...this-saturday/

Why do you get the 17% of Maine voters number? Also, even if Ron Paul won 65% of the votes in the county, he will still likely not get enough votes to beat Mitt Romney. Also, how do you plan on getting the Maine GOP to count those votes? Whatever the Maine GOP says, is what it is. That's the way the Maine government and the media look at it, anyway

On the 17%...forgot to fact check that. FAIL. I read it and it stuck in my head. I'll look it back up and get back to you (or pull it).

[Found it as I wrote this comment: http://www.capitalfreepress.com/4786...-caucus-votes/ ]

We need 195 more votes in that county than Romney. The County Commission said he is expecting maybe 300 next Saturday. That is without a regional Ron Paul effort. If we "get-out-the-vote" and really hit it hard, we can pull a couple hundred more.

So, let's say we shoot to get 500 voters. And I had seen (will fact check it again...) we were polling 60% there. That'd be 300 votes for Paul, 200 split amongst the other four. That'd be close to the number we need.

Let's say our effort not only gets us that 500 total voters, but gets us 65% (as you say), then that's 325 votes for Paul 175 amongst the others, again, you'd be right, that'd be only 150 over Romney if he gets all the 175 (which isn't likely, but for sake of argument let's say that is the case).

What we are dealing with then, is that we need to double voter turn-out and increase our percentage by 10% if we want to take the lead out right.

Whether or not they get counted is the same thing we face in every election. Yet, we're still here working on an election.

Get 'er done.

Washington County has 6000+ Registered Republicans. Seriously, we can win.. It'll require organization.

'Bad' weather, cancelling, disenfrachisement, manipulation of rules; this is blatently faulty Gov't bureacracy that everyone hates.

This is winnable. We already win by just trying, because this is a small part of the large beast we are against. This could be big. Never give up.
