From this forum thread:
1. Try to do the cold calling. Many of the votes in my precinct came because of cold calling. Start every conversation saying you live a couple blocks from them and would like to know if you can drop off a pamphlet. Drop it off within 1 hour of the call. Cold […]

I was a student volunteer in the Des Moines, Iowa Ron Paul campaign office.
Here is what happened:
The campaign hired an individual who promised to deliver the contact list which was admittedly confused. That individual did not come through with his project.
