I'm confused...

I'm not a Louisianan, but I really want to know when Louisianans vote in the primaries or caucuses, and there's a lot of talk about January 22nd being caucus day, but I've seen the 9th is primaries. Which is it, caucuses or primaries, 22nd or 9th?

The caucus is what counts...
The primary is called the "Presidential Preference Primary". If no candidate gets above 50% in the preference poll... the primary counts for nothing.

21 delegates will be decided January 22.
20 Delegates will be voted on in convention at the end of february.
3 are super delegates and are assigned to top party officials.

good question. no one has it listed.
it is in our favor for turnout to be low... so i'm not screaming from the mountains about it either...

yeah, I've been converting people to Ron Paul's message, THEN telling them about the caucus.

I've ran for office several times before, I'm contacting my old donors to get them to vote.

Oh, and will any results be posted as to a straw poll for President or something of that variety be posted so we can garner some momentum to be covered by the media?
