Paul needs to go to Florida RIGHT NOW and not leave until the primary is over

I'm a native Californian, but, I have a dream of moving to maine. I know it gets cold as a witch's breast but its always seemed like a very libertarian, clean, naturally beautiful state. Now with Ron running, I would love to see him win there. If only there. How sweet would it be to have Benito crash and burn in florida only to have Ron win Maine a few days later!

Florida is winner-take-all, so if you lose, you lose big. Maine has always been friendly and we just have to be vigilant on election days. See them count those ballots!!!

Oh, and help out the da%^ blimp! She needs it

To win, you need only a few key states.

California, Florida, Texas, New York, (some other one).

So yeah...FOCUS FOCUS.

Actually he must stop in D.C. on Tuesday and speak to the 70,000 + voters at the March for Life rally. It will be the only opportunity to speak to the largest crowd assembled at one time during the entire campaign. And no other presidential candidate is scheduled to appear. He could add "Champion for Life" to his bio.

He can't. But the next best thing would be to name his VP choice now and get that person out there campaigning. This would be a HUGE advantage for the campaign. I suggest Pat Buchanan. He is an aggressive and knowledgable politician.

"If I win the republican nomination, Pat Buchanan is my first choice for VP." That is all RP would have to say.

I have said this SO MANY TIMES: Nevada and MAINE!
I've written articles on it - Florida is over-crowded; look what happened in South Carolina.

Maine is an anti-government, gun-loving state!

He must go to Maine NOW! ANd just go everywhere, especially in the North!

They have a LIBERTARIAN-Republican legislator who was inspired by Paul in 1988 to become a Libertarian.

Maine will totally go COMPLETELY for Paul, but only if he actually GOES THERE!

And does a big media ad-blitz. That is what the Nevada voters said - ads are VERY important!

Quit competeing with all the big-whigs! Take the states that know how to think for themselves.

Also, Maine is a CAUCUS, which, other than the fraud that has been proven here:
http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/How_the_GOP_is_Deliberatel...

is much better than a primary.

The Nevada caucus was de-frauded by Romney agents preventing Paul voters from participating, and lying to them and telling them that they only could hand in a ballot and leave.

That will not happen in Maine.

I may be a vegetarian, but I'll defend to the death my right to eat pork!

1st or 2nd in California is huge! Dr. Paul must do well out west to have a shot at the primary, however, he is just planting the seeds for a possible run as an Independent. Remember, he is sitting on a mountain of cash with legions of energetic supporters, some very well off financially.

i think maine would be a win for rp before super tuesday. maybe he should spend a couple days in florida then the rest in maine. i think florida will be a make or break state for a few candidates. mainly huckabee, who will lose and go broke (maybe in the hole) thompson might even quit before florida. and if guiliani loses bad to mccain and romney and maybe even RP,giuliani might even give up too.he spent almost all his money there and has sucked big time so far. a loss in florida could be the last, most embarrassing, loss he would want to endure. so i say go to maine and have a gold and a silver before super tuesday. if giuliani drops out then hit new york hard and then maybe another state where guiliani was supposed to do good.

Listen, the only news out of Florida will be #1 who wins, and #2 how poorly Giuliani does. We can't win the state, and with the reduced delegates, it will be a good state for the others to waste their time and money on. Giuliani is going to tank in Florida, and that will be the news as he drops out.

Dr. Paul needs to get to California, STAT. This state is no longer winner take all, so EVERY distric he can win will get him delegates. California is the exact kind of state where Dr. Paul's message could take hold. California is a very libertarian minded state. FURTHERMORE, the state has been gerrymandered so badly, that the districts are very much skewed in their party representation. We have districts with 10x as many registered Democrats as Republicans, and we have other districts with 10x as many registered Rupblicans as Democrats. This means that there are tons of high concentration of Democrat districts here where changing a SMALL amount of votes will result in winning delegates.

I think he could win here, and whatever place he comes in here, he will get that proportion of our huge delegates. He needs to be here, and he needs to be here right now.

...of either Romney or McCain will be chosen as GOP candidates to run for the general election should send shivers up your spine. It did mine. It only guarantees an eventual Democrat win and 4 years sinking this country deeper into a deep recession (who knows, maybe even a depression).

Then run off all non-Pauls and secede from Union. "One Nation Under Paul"

RSK Florida lost one half of their delegates. The two states I would focus on like my political life depended on it would be Texas and of course California-- between the two of them there are a whole bunch of delegates.

It is a winner take all State. RP should be in New York, California and Illinois.

Ron,

Needs to come into northern florida to soften the blow and not finish last.

He needs to get the top of north florida and erode huckabees vote.

He needs to then leverage the cross state communication into where he could win in alabama and send the message into GA to soften results of others again.

If he can win Alabama is important. This is a very good state for Ron to go after. If Fred drops then he has to move into TN.

The rest and bulk of his effort has to be AZ..AZ..AZ, CA, CO and MT. He must take down McCain. Its a great state to do it. The momentum would be huge from this..

Alaska, Hawaii, Maine and other states will do well with limited advertisements and effort without the candidate being there.

At the same time, he cannot neglect the Super Tuesday states that follow just 6 days later. Now that we have seen the campaign strategy to focus on Nevada rather than SC winning big time, I trust them to select the states with the best potential for him finishing in the top 3.

he is a contender!!!!!.im getting 100 yard signs.this week.anybody know the best place to get em

I'm sure there are many passionate volunteers in Florida, but Florida will be actively contested by Guiliani, Huckabee, McCain, and Romney. To date we haven't had more than 2 very active competitors in any state. Dr. Paul will get absolutely ignored against 4 media-hogging candidates. He'd need to run full-out just to get the 4-5% he's currently polling.

Maine is a caucus. There will probably be less than 100,000 voters. It has a very strong independent streak. It was the only state to put Perot 2nd. It gave a victory to Jerry Brown in the 1992 Dem caucus, the former California governor who got only 9% in NH and was dismissed as "Governor Moonbeam". Maine in winnable. Winning Maine will actually get press. Getting 7% in Florida gets nothing.

Look out in Louisiana - Ron Paul is doing very well there. He could do better there than in Nevada.

Missouri, Montana and Maine - the 3M's will also be strong states for Ron Paul

I agree Ron Paul needs to go to Florida and campaign.

I live just north of Tampa. I am not worried about Girliannie taking Florida. I have not seen evidence of overwhelming supoort for him here. I even called campaign HQ today and told them, they need to make a presence here in Florida. There are still a whole lot of votes here for the taking. I hope they do. To "not" come here would possibly be the biggest mistake they could make. Florida is still wide open. I run into many people that are still undecided.

This race is gonna come down to Florida, Texas, and California.

I live in Tampa, I don't watch too much television but when I do I only see RG ads trying to scare people into voting for him. We Need Dr. Pauls presence here.

Ron Paul or Dr. Paul

"Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have.” Barry Goldwater

The campaign should use footage from this video, with that elderly woman speaking so sincerely and convincingly about Ron Paul, and put it on TV in Florida. She will reach tens of thousands of retirees. That's all you need, an honest unrehearsed endorsement from an elderly women who is truly patriotic and cares about America. I thought it was an outstanding interview and would sway many. How do we convey this to the campaign? Anyone agrees with me?

He needs to start making ads that attack the other candidates policy positions and draw contrasts to his own. Namely John McCain and his wanting to stay in Iraq 100 years. Doing this accomplishes 2 things at one time. It tells the voter why they shouldnt vote for one candidate and should vote for him. Also it draws the immediate attention of the media and they will be talking about the ads hes running which will get him more name recognition. If he doesnt start telling the voters why they shouldnt vote for the other candidate and should vote for him hes doomed to failure.
