    If half the people who went to the rallies in Washington and Idaho vote for Paul it should be enough for him to win based on 2008 totals. Is half too much to ask for based on past states?

    Nowhere near 50% will actually take the time to go and vote for him. They just come to see him and have a chance to enjoy the speech. Most wont bother voting because it is too inconvenient. Once they grow older they will be voting in droves because at that point they'll be sick enough of gov't to go vote. I doubt we'll have another ron paul around at that time though.

    Have a little faith. Maybe the tide is turning slightly our way finally.

    If Rand does not win the Republican nomination, he should buck the controlled two party system and run as an Independent for President in 2016 and give Americans a real option to vote for.

    We are all born libertarians then something goes really wrong. Despite this truth, most people are still libertarians yet not know it.

    We really stressed GOTV here in Seattle, but some people didn't want to fill out the voter information sheets we had which confused me. I kept telling them this information is important to helping Ron win Washington, but they still didn't want to sign the sheets.

    I haven't seen a news channel video on youtube yet for the full speech.

    I was there and sat at a press table. My full event video is posted on youtube.

    Don't ya know Ron Paul feels elated and lifted when he walks out and sees a crowd such as this with which to share the message of freedom! It makes me feel pretty good too! God bless you Ron Paul!!!

    This was exciting for me. I've been a supporter since 09 so i didn't attend anything like this before. Plus, i just moved up here from Nevada and was hoping that this state would have a good RP turnout. Glad to see so many, since i don't see many RP support driving around. It sounds at times that many here just vote republican without really any thought. Living here isn't long term goal (NH), but if Ron wins here it would be interesting and might change my future plans.
    Once more into the fray...
    Into the last good fight I'll ever know.

    What did you think of Ron's speech?

    Overall good. I believe it was great for an intro into Ron's beliefs, some of his policies, and our current issues. Since I listened to speeches everyday, I guess this one wasn't really different from the rest.

    I don't know if my comment was deleted or something, so I will write it again...

    What good is getting excited about this picture if it doesn't translate into votes...?

    What are RP's poll numbers looking like in ID?

    Much of the state I would think would be big Paul supporters, but Boise is heavily mormon, so I'm sure Romney will carry that area.

    But it DOES translate in to votes. But a state is a big place. There are more people in it than just the ones at the event. There are people who vote AGAINST Paul.
    MOST of the people who show up to those rallies vote for Paul ... Some of them don't. They're too young. From out of state. Unregistered. Die before the vote is taken. Change their minds and yes, some of them have something happen that prevents them from voting.

    But some folks need to stop being whiners and claiming that the people at the rallies don't go to vote. We do have a problem that we don't have enough "soft" voters. Undecideds break away from us. They break TOO the "safe" candidates. That hurts. And it hurts big because we are painted as "unsafe". That's why we need to win somewhere.
