Our first Gold? Louisiana. Your welcome. (unofficial)

Ok, it looks like the caucus was today to select delegates, most of our guys got in... but I don't think this is the Primary. This means we have our guys in the door. Now all we need to do is win 5 states so they can vote for Paul!

To get the idea about how we did in the caucus read what huck's army people who went are saying http://www.forum.hucksarmy.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7526&start=15

"It is true, the Paulites were out in full force. They swarmed my wife and I before we could even walk in the building. They held out a voting sheet of the delegates who support Paul for me to take, and I just stopped to let them read my jacket which has "MIKE HUCKABEE" in huge letters with a picture of Mike and a list of his issues... yeah, they gave up on my vote at that point.

None of the delegates in District five had commited to Mike Huckabee. This shocked me at first, but I found out that this is because the delegates who personally support Mike want to be able to switch their support if Mike doesn't make it far enough in the race. Many of the delegates had an issue that they were running on... for instance, many would say, "I am pro-life and pro-family." One of the delegates that was listed as uncommitted was my college history professor, and I can tell you that he is an avid Mike supporter. I talked to him for a few minutes and he introduced me to several other delegates who told me that they will support Mike if he makes it far enough in the race. My professor said that he will cast his delegate vote for the most conservative candidate who is still in the race... he said that his delegate vote will definitely be for Mike Huckabee if he has the chance, and definitely not for Mitt Romney under any circumstances!

Louisiana will have its primary on Feb 9, and then I will be able to cast a vote specifically for Mike Huckabee. I have no doubt that Mike will win the LA primary; I am just not sure he will get 51%."

Please stop the conspiracy stuff. This is as clean a count as we're ever going to get.

In the Sixth District -- they have Ron Paul volunteers counting the votes. So please chill.

What are you talking about?! We are all happy and estatic! What conspiracy stuff? go away... your killing the buzz

I'm talking about the ronpauleddy post 5 up. I'm not killing the buzz.

Voting integrity is always a legitimate issue. You only have to read Caro's biography on Lyndon Johnson to see how brazenly elections can be stolen by an unscrupulous politician.

Thanks for all of your hard work in LA everyone who obviously had their game on today and have been prepping for this day for a long time.

You gave us a lot to smile about and be hopeful for as well as inspiration for what can be done.

No worries Huey. Many of us following the Louisiana forum are very appreciative of your hard work and the apparent brilliance of the Louisiana supporters.

 

[hueylong]

I gotta say, it's pretty exciting. Lots of hope here.

LA primary is also on Feb 9. Here is a link check out every state and stuff. So LA held a caucus now, but it will also have a primary on Feb 9. Kinda messed, hopefully people will show up to the primary as well so no candidate will end up with 50%+, otherwise we're fked, unless RP does ofcourse in which case we have guaranteed ALL of the delegates from LA. Hahaa, I truly hope we get more than 50% in the primary, and we are rock solid set:

Here's the link check to see the dates and stuff, but make sure yourself about the dates, this is wiki afterall.

If we get just 15% we got them all!

How'd you get that number?

I thought we just needed 1 state. We've got our work cut out for us guys.

 

[LandonCook]

Because 15% of paul is enough to break up the rest of them with less than 50%

It is extreamly unlikely for someone to get 50% if we get 15

 

[hueylong]

Actually, our vote take at the primary doesn't impact these delegates at all as long as no one gets 50%.

5 golds for a canidate at a broker convention...
