Don't despair - WE HAVE A PLAN B!

Dennis Peterson · 01-08-2008, 07:43 PM

So Huckabee takes Iowa, and most likely South Carolina. McCain with NH. Romney sure to pick up some states somewhere. Maybe Benito takes Florida. Paul came just shy of taking Wyoming, and Nevada seems like a good place for him. In short...nobody's running away with this. We'll probably have a brokered convention.

If nobody takes over 50% of the delegates in the primaries, the delegates get to vote for whoever they feel like voting for, and if they vote Paul he takes it even if he got 1% in the primaries.

That means: it's not about the moneybombs, or the online polls, or signwaves, or the media. Not anymore. It's about going to your precinct meetings, district meetings, however it works in your state, and getting Ron Paul delegates to the National Convention. IF WE CAN WIN ALL THOSE STRAW POLLS WE CAN DO THIS TOO.

My local meetup had a meeting last night with a Republican precinct chair. Participation is down all across our state. We can take this.

But we won't do it if we piss and moan and go back to WoW.

So suck it up. This is politics. It's a long dirty game. We're all tired, we've given to money bombs till it hurt, written letters, stood on street corners, all that. But this is not the time to give up. We can win zero states, and walk away with the whole thing if we show up in force at the Republican Party meetings.

Get organized, make absolutely sure you get out the vote to those meetings, and get it done. We can sleep in November.

This is the only plan that will work, but it's GUARANTEED to work. IF WE want to take over the Republican party, it's ripe for picking now.

These states are pretty insignificant, imo.

Do you really think these guys can carry themselves out of Iowa and NH?

Why do you think Giuliani is cooling his heals on the sidelines?

I am probably not thinking very clearly, but the OP does make sense to me...

Hey...there is nothing wrong with WoW :P . And no I'm not young young...i'm 35 :P

Paul didn't get a single delegate in Wyoming.

This campaign of education of America has to continue, we should let campaign workout best electioneering strategy or suggest one ourselves. There is no despair.

I like the way this noobie thinks

If I was the only one to vote for Paul in all of Michigan I would still go out spreading the message and vote for him. We are sliding to socialism... I would like to be the first society to stop it.

Ok so I forgot this post referred to just two counties:

Doesn't change my main point.

Every solid Ron Paul supporter you know, make sure he or she gets to the precinct meetings. And anybody who has any question how the process works needs to find out the answers NOW.
