Ron Paul’s Long-Ball Strategy in Minnesota - ABC News - by Chris Good:
January 20 - "Paul’s campaign today announced a 'substantial' purchase of airtime in the mostly ignored caucus state of Minnesota, ... and it follows airtime purchases for four separate TV ads in Nevada, announced in October.
"Paul has already spent money on direct mail in the caucus states of Nevada, Maine, Colorado, North Dakota and Washington, as well as Louisiana, ABC’s Jonathan Karl reported this month....
"Paul’s is the only campaign that is overtly as concerned with delegates and long-term gains as it is with early-state wins and popular momentum. Like Barack Obama in 2008, Paul’s strength lies in dedicated followers who know the rules and can organize at caucuses and the county, congressional-district, and state conventions where caucus states will select their delegates.... 'Ours is the only campaign with the resources, organization and stamina to defeat establishment candidate Mitt Romney in a 50-state race,' Campaign Manager Jesse Benton said....
"Minnesota will send 40 delegates to the August convention - more than every early state except Florida (50) – but none of them will be bound to support any candidate. They’ll be selected through local, congressional-district, and state conventions held later this spring, meaning that to win Minnesota a candidate will have to organize early and elect representatives to those conventions on caucus night."
