MAINE! MAINE! MAINE!
Sorry to beat a dead horse but I'm going to continue to beat it until someone at the campaign finally gets this message. We desperatly need a WIN. Ron Paul needs to get his butt in Maine ASAP!!! Open up as many offices as you can, spend the money in Maine instead of spending it in FL. Let's get a WIN Ron. Let's take the last state before Feb 5th. FL is just not doable. I hope someone important in the campaign is monitoring the grassroots here at the dailypaul. We're not just bloggers......we not only blog on the internet, but we BLOG at work with our co workers, with our families, with our friends, with complete strangers, with out neighbors.........so Please Dr. Paul.....pack your bags and take yourself to Maine and get this campaign and your supporters a WIN................PLEASE!!!!!! If there are those of you that agree with me on this then please BUMP this , make remarks, keep this going.
Win Maine!
We can do it!
MAINE MAINE MAINE - YOU CAN HELP
Are we taking full advantage of the opportunity Maine offers us?
MAINE NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you can offer help, get in touch with a Maine Meetup Group ASAP or Ron Paul Maine headquarters.
If you can make 10 calls, 20 calls, whatever... OR even better, if you can come up to Maine and canvass we have daily canvassing events scheduled - contact:
Ron Paul Headquaters
437 Congress St
Portland, ME 04101
207-699-2909 or 207-409-8969
Don't want to make phone calls? Google ten Maine businesses and send them specific emails. For example, if you sell shoes, find 10 shoe stores that you can relate with and send a personalized message via email. If you're a real estate broker... you get the picture. Lots of people have their email addresses available online.
Remember Maine is small and Ron Paul is pretty much the only candidate on either side that has come here. I only see Ron Paul signs around (except 1 Romney and 1 Kucinich). Maine is a good shot so lets not regret that we didn't do enough.
THERE ARE ONLY 4 days left!!!!!!!!!!!! ACT NOW so you don't have to regret it later!!!!

This is how RP can win
going after the states that get less attention like NV and LA. I think we all need to recognize that the RP campaign are very clever players. This is exciting. GO MAINE!!
Sounds about right
However, don't go too far off the deep end... I believe that Dr. Paul knows what he is doing. We believe he could win in Alaska if he comes here, as well. He can't be everywhere. But I do hope your request is heard; surely they are considering it already.

Does anyone know how many
Does anyone know how many people attended the Maine caucuses in the past?
How many delegates does
How many delegates does Maine have?
Anyway, I agree with this. Florida is a loss cause. I'll bet the entire Miami/Dade area votes for McCain and the rest follow suit. I'm positive that the affluent Latino community thinks McCain is going to be tough on Castro and Chevez which is absurd.
The majority of urban Americans are weak minded. They would rather sit around at Starbucks and discuss their lives than to take a few minutes to rationally analyze how to make America better. I know this because I've lived in Baltimore, New York, Singapore, and Tokyo. City people are all the same.....

Amazing....
According to the rules, I could show up and run as a delegate for say.....I dunno, McCain, and dilute (split) the vote with another McCain delegate, thus ensuring another candidate's delegate gets elected to the state convention......
In the odd chance that I do get elected as a delegate for McCain, I'm not bound to vote for him at the state convention, I could vote for whatever candidate I choose.....hmmmmm
Interesting to know....do you think other candidates will try this?
I do not think you know maine....
Maine is a welfare state... and when not on welfare most people are employed by the state.. While I do know Ron Paul has a nice following in Maine ( I have recruited a few myself) Ron's anti welfare message is not helping him...
But do have faith because... There are many of hardworking folk that blame the gov. (and rightfully so) for killing the industry in Maine, and it has now become, well basically a police/government state.
People get tired of paying 1.75 and having it go into the GENERAL state fund... ( I personally love user fees, only if they pay for what service is being provided!)...
WE REALLY JUST NEED TO GET OUT THIS MESSAGE OF WHAT KILLED MAINE... It is a dead state... we need more than road signs... we need 1 on 1 discussion.
I can only convince so many myself...

i dont know that i would
i dont know that i would clasify maine as a welfare state..its not a wealthy state for sure..but a welfare state?..im slightly offended by this generalization..and i dont think that the majority of the people of maine that are voters are in that class...maine has a tough economy which im sure is a great reason for them to find interest in Ron Paul..all of the people in maine that ive spoken with, which i do regularly, have embraced him with open arms..either way..why discount them because you think they feel the need for welfare..maybe a bit of real economic stimulation will aleviate the burden they have and wont need welfare..but i myself know some in maine on welfare..but i know many many many more who are not and never have been...

that is true, but republicans who fund the welfare state
through taxation are the people we're after for this caucus. I think most Mainer's are pretty fed up with taxes in general. After all, Maine has the highest tax burden per capita income in the country.
I did some of my own polling and it looks like Obama and Clinton are neck and neck here with very few people mentioning a republican.

Hi All,
Thanks for the interest, we just got a list of 1000 recently identified Ron Paul supporters, I have this list divided into pages of 25-30 names each. Please call me at 207-699-2909 (9am-5pm EST) if you can help us turn these supporters into delegates. We have a great base of support, a strong need for delegate identification/education, and out of state help is just as valuable as in state help.
Any and all offers to help are appreciated and will be accepted if you email AND call,,,the email is coming in fast and furious these days my appoligies if I do not respond immediately. Remember, we have many more list of supporters to whom calls should be made. Thank you, GO RON PAUL!

Go Maine!
With so many States and so little time, you guys on the ground are vital. You've got to have the people ready when he lands and squeeze as much media attention as you can get from this. Then follow it up with getting voters to the caucus locations. So much of this has to land on you guys on the ground but you're right, this would be a really good thing.
Besides, what an awesome anniversary present!
Agreed
I have to agree. Florida is winner take all, so unless RP gets another 25% in support... He needs to be there today for the debate and rally, etc., but they should be putting him in a state where he has a chance. Look at Nevada. He might have done even better if he had been there longer.
Yeah but..
Placing well in Florida, even without delegates, looks good to the electorate going into both Maine and Super Tuesday.
No one will notice
Unless he gets double digits, but the polls are showing him at 3-7%. The incremental 1 or 2% he might get with an all out campaign in the last few days is not going to make anyone sit up and take notice.
Maine has GOTTA be a state of CommonSense
Go get some CommonSense flyers and get the copiers & laser printers churning out copies of these things... then get 'em in peoples hands ASAP.
After a positive comment on the CommonSense flyers by an (anonymous) RP Store worker who also said: "I work for the RP store and I knew those [official campaign] slim-jims had to be ineffective because we sent truckloads of them to Iowa/NH-probably in the millions."
Desperately need a win
Bump!
Go Maine!!!

CAN YOU THINK OF A BETTER COMMERCIAL 2 DAYS BEFORE SUPER TUES
Maine results will be in on the evening of the 3rd.
MSM has mentioned Maine every time they mention upcoming early states.
If MSM decides to report (IF) then wouldn't it be WONDERFUL to have Ron Paul WIN a state 2 days before super Tuesday?
In order to make that happen Maine will need help. We are working it hard but could always use some assistance to get the word out. If Louisiana can do it (in a state where Ron Paul voted against Katrina relief) ... Maine should be able to win this! Maine's caucus is similar to Louisiana and we can take advantage of the process. We simply have to get enough delegates to each precinct and have them voted in by supporters. It's not that huge of numbers and I think it can be done.
PLEASE BUMP THIS OFTEN
IF YOU CAN OFFER HELP FOR PHONE BANKING, LETTER WRITING, CANVASSING, WANT TO COME UP TO MEET THE GOOD DR. THIS SUNDAY/MONDAY... BY ALL MEANS PLEASE GET IN TOUCH MAINE HEADQUARTERS MEETUP GROUP:
