Just a thought. So many other things like the blimp and the money bomb ideas are run independent of the campaign, why not raising a small amount for an NH audit/recount?
There's only about 150K votes or so. That's not that many, really.
Dig deep my friend, but if the reports are true that his campaign spent a miserly sum in NH, he has more loot in his coffers than we do. IOW, his apparent tight fisted campaign should consider it a wise investment to pay for the recount with the money they have on hand. After all, it is our money.

I don't know what to think right now about the Ron Paul thing. Delay means the recount will not happen.
The application shall be made in writing to the secretary of state and shall be submitted no later than the Friday after the primary for a recount of all ballots cast for such nomination.
If Ron Paul doesn't take the lead in this that will speak volumes. He's been a congressman for 20 yrs. You can't tell me that he doesn't know the election system is corrupt from top to bottom. His exposure of it is what he owes his supporters who have given him time and $20m. Alex Jones just said that he is concerned we've heard nothing from Ron Paul and that he doesn't want to have to lobby his campaign.

I am writing to voice my concerns over the inaction on the part of the Ron Paul 2008 campaign concerning irregularities in the NH vote counting.
I have my finger on the pulse of the grassroots on the internet and Dr. Paul is about to lose a whole bunch of support if he doesn't address this issue fast. The silence from the campaign has been deafening.
I'm sure you know the particulars by now, that 31 votes were left out in one hand counted town (Sutton), and that Dr. Paul's percentages in machine tallied towns average 5% lower than in hand counted towns.
If you let this go without challenging it, I think you are going to see a dramatic drop in support.
The good doctor should at least explain what he is going to do and why, even if he has decided to do nothing. I believe that time is of the essence. Support is evaporating even as I write this.

I just wrote the campaign. I tried calling but got voicemail, believe it or not. Maybe tons of folks are calling, I don't know.
I have no problem with recounts and re-recounts but, in this particular case, RP lost the primary by such a huge margin, as predicted by ALL pre-election polls, the is no doubt that he, indeed, did lose.
I do not remember reading about polls predicting RP at 16-18%. What I remember the polls were predicting was 7-11% for him and the final count was inside that range.
The CNN's exit polls showed that Romney and McCain got most of the 'independent' vote which is not surprising to me. I would expect that most of those truly 'independent' would not bother to vote in a GOP primary. As for those who did, it's likely that those who voted in the GOP primary were looking for a GOP-like person and RP is everything a GOP is not, except for the party affiliation.
I checked the google cached verion of Rasmussen's page and it too showed 8%, but it is a Jan 9th cache. How did freekers get it so wrong, unless Rasmussen changed the page? Yahoo says it doesn't have a cached page, even though the page is in their index.
