Louisiana caucus results (OFFICIAL THREAD)

[Feelgood]

As a result, under party rules, Paul is guaranteed at least 17 of the 46 delegates to the convention at which Romney will almost certainly be nominated for president.

F U!

CD4: 11/25

Does that give us 1 or 2 of the 3? Or maybe the frothsters will give us all 3?

This is what it is like to have supporters vs. voters

So my prediction, we won't hear anything about the Presidential campaign from the lamestream "pretender" journalists for weeks now.

Guess we'll have more Obama "Al Green" songs and jokes, and Romney idiotic remarks taking the stage ... as this Federal mafia continues to rape the American people ... Obama and Romney might think the rape of America is funny, and taking American stupidity lightly ... but we certainly don't. And it looks as though, we are not alone.

wtg Alaska and Louisiana !!! We now know you are awake, and that's a great feeling.

Looks like there are quite a few news reports on this...

The Texas Tribune:


"Ron Paul claimed a rare victory this weekend in Louisiana, which held its congressional district caucuses on Saturday. Though the state's March 24 primary — which Rick Santorum won — determined the allocation of 20 of the state's delegates, Satuday's caucuses awarded another batch, of which Paul won 74 percent. "Ron Paul’s victory shows his delegate-attainment strategy is working and demonstrates that the media and Washington pundits are underestimating his influence in the nominating process," John Tate, Paul's national campaign manager, said in a statement. Paul also scored a win over the weekend in Alaska, where one of his supporters was selected as the chairman of the state GOP."

Just a quick reality-check on our wins in Louisiana over the weekend.

That LA state GOP get to elect 30 delegates and 12 alternates directly to the state convention as well as per the following rule:

(b) Delegates and alternate delegates elected by the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee. There shall be five (5) delegates at large from each of the congressional districts, elected by the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee members from the respective congressional districts. There shall be two (2) alternate delegates at large from each of the congressional Districts, elected by the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee members from the respective congressional districts.

This means that assuming those are all pro-Romney folks we'll only have 111 of 180 delegates at the state convention, leaving us to do some coalition building to reach the super-majority of 120.

The wins are still fantastic, just keeping a realistic outlook on things that the fight must go on.
