Ron Paul Might Have a Huge Win in Nevada

I originally posted this in another thread, but will repost here

I live in Reno Nevada. Here's my thoughts on the biggest challenges facing Dr Paul here:

1) Nevadans are so displeased with the Bush administration that most won't even look at a Republican candidate, much less look at him twice.

2) The "Official" meetup group leaders are driving people away with unbelievable negativity. There's a "My way or the highway" attitude amongst the meetup coordinators that is devastating to the cause.

3) We have a large minority population that is not being targeted as they should be. I mean a LARGE minority population, most of whom have never voted and must be motivated toward attending the caucus. Several of us pledged on ronpaulmarch.com to march on MLK day downtown, and we have been subject to outright hostility from the "Official" meetup coordinators (See #2 above). My wife actually received a letter from Juanita Cox (One of the main meetup coordinators) in which she said "If the BLACK LEADERS allow this, then you have my blessing and I will
help you. If you don't, then I WILL FIGHT YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY" (Direct copy/paste). That is flat out racist. Dr King spoke of equality, not Black Power.

4) Contradictory information regarding caucuses. We are receiving conflicting info on how long we must be registered as republicans before we may vote in the caucus. Some say Dec 19th was the deadline, others say there is no deadline, and still others say 2 days prior. Regardless of which is the case the simple fact is that getting straightforward answers is absolutely necessary to motivate the apathetic to become involved beyond putting a sign on their lawn. Also we are getting much conflicting info on our precincts. We have been informed of 2 precinct changes in the past 2 weeks, switching our caucus location.

If we fail to resolve these issues then Nevada has no hope of being the great stand we all expected New Hampshire to be.

Get real. Strippers and prostituted don't vote. Sheeple do.

Please do not have unrealistic expectations. Lots of retirees and other major demographic groups who have not performed for RP to date. Nevada is a tough, tough state with a very Libertarian streak and many Libertarians. Heavy unions will go DEM. And Romney will do very well in urban and rural areas. Ron Paul may have spent time in Nevada...but he spent it preaching to the choir and not out among the general population.

Don't forget. According to FAUX news the only supporters Dr. Paul has are strippers and prostitutes. I think we will do quite well in Nevada thanks to the Bunny Ranch.

I'm in the UK, I've just found a bookmaker where I could get £6 at 100 - 1 for Ron to win Nevada. I think that could be a bargain, after what I read on the other thread about the ratio of donors to voters. If he wins, I will send half to a worthy Paulite cause :)

I'm bumping this so I can find it easily Saturday.

In 2004 122K showed up to vote in the Republican Senate primary (there was no presidential primary ever on the websites history, I don't know why)
And almost a million voted in the 2004 General election in Nevada.

I think you're right on the good Doctor surprising them here. The media will spin it as Dem votes goint to the Rep dark horse.. but that's OK.. it may still generate some greatly needed airtime for Ron.

I'm in the Los Angeles area and had to join 3 Meet-ups just to cover the groups within walking distance.

I imagine in Nevada, that there may be less of this since there are open spaces between population centers. It will be interesting to see.

Thanks for not posting this sooner and stimulating the competition.

There is a reason they are keeping Nevada news on the republican side under wraps. I never hear a word about the polling in Nevada. All we hear is the democrats. the democrats the democrats. No word on who Nevada is in favor of on the republican side. Hope it is true. A big win there. Even though they will say no one else campaigned there. We will seeeeeeee!!!
