They just said on CNN it doesnt look like there will be any delegates given out in LA. The neocons dont get any so I guess thats good for us.

Somebody needs to make 51 percent for delegates to be awarded and nobody did.

But--I thought we did well in LA last time. What happened this time? Was it a different process?

There will be some third contest in LA for the delegates now.

Tuesday 22 January 2008: District Caucuses convene to choose delegates to the State Convention.


Saturday 9 February 2008: 20 of Louisiana's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's Louisiana Presidential Primary.

* If a candidate receives a majority (more than 50%) of the statewide vote, that candidate is allocated 20 delegates.
* Otherwise, the 20 delegates will attend the Republican National Convention officially unpledged to any candidate. These delegates will be elected at the State Convention where the participants at the State Convention will alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor in such choice and, if so, how it is to be applied.
