Update on LA

[Melissa]

Ok Jennifer called me and this is what she told me --now I have no clue what is going on so please no questions this is all I know as I am in Indiana --just relaying info for you guys

Ok she said 1 poll worker she did not know is for RP

She got one guy waiting in line to vote for RP --She said they dont open for another half hour

She said Romney has 7 delegates on the slate and 2 alt and she said this was good news so far for us --I dont know why but will keep you updated

I am going to move it all up here


2nd UPDATE





Ok she said since Goul and Huck and Thompson people had no full slate - then created a pro life/pro family table and went intogether to get the 15 delegate slate

Ok she just called and said

No Huck supporters that she can see

Mccain has full slate in all Districts except 7 and 1 alt--so that is our competition


*************3rd update*****************


Ok she said since Goul and Huck and Thompson people had no full slate - then created a pro life/pro family table and went intogether to get the 15 delegate slate



******************4th UPDATE**************

Ok Just for off the phone with Jenn and I think that Torchbearer is there too


The say they are feeling good

The Huck/Goul/Thompson people that made a table called Pro-life -Pro Family put some of there names on the Mccain and Romney slate-----SO Jenn is letting people Know when they come in because the people coming in think this gorup (Pro-life and Pro Family are uncommited and Jenn is letting them know that is not true


The people there said that no one could watch the vote count but the GOP and Jenn called HQ and they are going to be there because it has been fixed because every campaign can have 1 Person watch the vote count

[Xonox]

Thanks for the update... I can't wait to see what happens.

[Melissa]

I would suspect it means that there are essentially 8 spots open for Ron Paul supporters if Romney's money and organization pay off and get those 7 spots. The alternates are most likely a non issue since a ton of the districts got Ron Paul alternates by default since those are the only ones that signed up.

Sadly, it will probably work...

you did right, some people are just overreacting
instead of 1 VALUABLE thread they will have now 10 new threads an hour with titles like "what happens in LA?!?!?!"

[Xonox]

Im confused on third update... It could be good for Dr. Paul though right? since he's pro-life...

[Ronin]

What's the role of alternates? From the thread below it seems we already have close to a majority. Do alternates vote in the state convention or are they there for the no shows from the caucases?

If they can vote and we get the majority of alternates (I think we need 2-3 more), then all we need to get tonight is 44 delegates state wide??

Maybe I'm way off, but the lagop site isn't very clear on all this.

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=95375

[Melissa]

my understanding is since the huck/goul/thompson group did not have enough for a full slate by themselves they banned together and called themselves pro life/pro family

[dawnbt]

who the hell moved it ?! blimp pimps are ok, but something as important is moved right away? pfff

No kidding! I didn't even know there was a caucus in LA today! This post is when I realized it!

Hmm... we've been winning pretty much all of the online polls except recently... I think people are finally getting off their computers and going out to vote, canvass, etc...

GOOOOOOOOOOOO RON PAUL!!!!

[purplechoe]

"W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie"

I think you got that wrong ;)

it's "Chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie w Szczebrzeszynie"

[szczebrzeszyn]

"W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie"

I think you got that wrong ;)

it's "Chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie w Szczebrzeszynie"

No, it's actually right :) I had that second quote in my sig before, because that's how I remembered it from my childhood (that's how we quoted it back then, I don't know why), but I checked that recently and fixed by sig :D

Here you have the original poem:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrzaszcz

LOL, I'd like to hear some of you guys/gals trying to spell that! :D

EDIT: hey, on that wiki page is an audio file for some curious ones

[literatim]

my understanding is since the huck/goul/thompson group did not have enough for a full slate by themselves they banned together and called themselves pro life/pro family

Do they know Ghoul is pro-choice? Ron Paul supporters should point that out.

They can only vote for one candidate. I can see the arguing now.

[Melissa]

They can only vote for one candidate. I can see the arguing now.

no no she said they formed a group to fill the 15 delegate spot since each of those groups did not have enough on thier own

[BeFranklin]

Thompson dropped out, tell that supporter to go home :)

[Melissa]

still waiting she has not called me yet but I dont think voting is done for 1 hour

[JustBcuz]

Do they know Ghoul is pro-choice? Ron Paul supporters should point that out.

They can only vote for one candidate. I can see the arguing now.

No, you can vote for 15 candidates! You have 15 votes, and there are 15 Ron Paul delegate candidates on each ballot. Hence the 'full slate'

But Ghoul & Huck don't have 15 candidates, so they banded together to try and keep us from sweeping.

[literatim]

But Ghoul & Huck don't have 15 candidates, so they banded together to try and keep us from sweeping.

Don't they still need to get more votes than Ron Paul supporters in every district? That seems highly unlikely.

Just because they have a 15 delegates, doesn't mean they will get any of them voted in.

Ron Paul supporters should be over there wooing everyone and informing them that the Ghoul is pro-choice and anti-family. The Ghoul freaking dresses in drag, why would any Thompson or Huckabee supporter support the Ghoul?

Goul Huck and Thompson did this

[BeFranklin]

Ghoul is pro choice. Ron just got the endorsement of the original Roe now pro life today. Thompson just dropped out. Sounds bizarre

[johnrocks]

Get back to your troll home at hannity! =P

What the hell are you talking about dude. I've supported RP for years and have donated to his campaign. I enjoy debating those guys over there and get flamed constantly for being a supporter.

[literatim]

Goul Huck and Thompson did this

I assume this doesn't mean they are doing this in all other districts.

[JustBcuz]

Don't they still need to get more votes than Ron Paul supporters in every district? That seems highly unlikely.

Just because they have a 15 delegates, doesn't mean they will get any of them voted in.

Exactly. The way it seems to be working is when you walk in, there's a table there for each candidate. At the table you get a piece of paper with that candidate's delegate candidates.

Doesn't mean you have to vote that way. You could vote for 3 Romney guys, 5 Ron Paul's, 3 McCain's, 2 Hucks, a Ghoul, & a Thompson if you really, really wanted to.

Or you could just spend one vote on your cousin who's running. But you can't spend all 15 votes on one guy.

Now please keep in mind, I'm not from or in LA, so this is largely speculation. :)

[Melissa]

I assume this doesn't mean they are doing this in all other districts.

I dont know I talked to Jennifer hear and torchbearer are at the same location I think and she told me the number of delegates for all the districts for Romney / Paul and Mccain so not sure what the last groups are doing in other districts that is just what she told me is going on in hers

[Son of Detroit]

John is one of the few RP supporters at Hannity.com who actually puts those against Paul in their places.

I am still a bit confused. Let's say 3 candidates have 15 delegates and alt delegates each to choose from. Who decides which 15 get chosen?

[acroso]

National Review Corner update in LA

[Melissa]

Ok here is what i think -- not positive but think it is like this--- Each candidate can have 15 delegates on the ballot -- then when people walk in to caucus they see the table of the person they want to support and then get the list of the 15 people running for that candidate--so then you go in the booth and you pick up to 15 people --so if you are a Romney person and there is only 7 people on the slate you either only vote 7 or you have to fill the other 8 with some other candidiates supporters --does that help

[Real_CaGeD]

What the hell are you talking about dude. I've supported RP for years and have donated to his campaign. I enjoy debating those guys over there and get flamed constantly for being a supporter.

John I follow your threads over there. Keep up the fight. You need to corner them on the GOP talking point of name calling.

[JustBcuz]

I am still a bit confused. Let's say 3 candidates have 15 delegates and alt delegates each to choose from. Who decides which 15 get chosen?

When you go in to vote, the ballot they give you has like 50 or 60 names on it.

Those names don't have Ron Paul, or Romney, or anything like that next to them.

Soooooo...The Ron Paul guys out by the front door give you a sheet of paper with the 15 names of Ron Paul guys on it.

You can vote for up to 15 people out of the 50/60 on the ballot. If Romney has 10 guys running, theoretically the Romney voters could vote for 10 Romney guys & 5 Ron Paul guys. Or maybe they vote for the 10 Romney guys and don't use their extra 5 votes.

Are you seeing the value of the full slate yet? ;)

Don't sweat the alternates. That's already in the bag. Many Ron Paul alternates won because they ran unopposed.

I see. So who actually votes in the caucus though?

[JustBcuz]

I see. So who actually votes in the caucus though?

Any Registered Republican that got registered before their deadline a couple of weeks ago...and who shows up to vote.

Sounds to me like the general population in LA doesn't know much about this part of the deal, they just know about the straw vote early next month.

[BreakYourChains]

bump

[arctica2]

LOL we should have ...made a mistake and printed other sheets of paper with out delegates on it that had: "Mitt Romney" and "John McCain" at the top.

We'd never actually do that, of course, but...

[Melissa]

any one that I think was a registered republican by a certain date and I think the date was a month or two ago --plus the people there --you can vote for yourself

[rojodiablouno]

Ok so does LA have a "full slate" and just how many is that?

stupid question from outsider:

are there like any official results for tonight? something that can garner support in upcoming states before feb. 9th?

[literatim]

Is the campaign calling voters?

[Melissa]

Ok so does LA have a "full slate" and just how many is that?

yes Paul and mccain both had 15 that is full slate in all districts except Mccain did not have a full slate in district 7

[JustBcuz]

Is the campaign calling voters?

They damn well better be!!!

;)

[fuzzybekool]

if anyone has updates on how it is going in LA. come to chat on ronpaulradio cuz everyone keeps asking what is going on lol.

[literatim]

Melissa, I hope everyone over at the caucus is reminding voters that Ron Paul was endorsed by 'Roe'. :)

[bobo37]

stupid question from outsider:

That's what I want to know

[rojodiablouno]

Ok so conceivably we could win in every district?

[szczebrzeszyn]

Melissa, I hope everyone over at the caucus is reminding voters that Ron Paul was endorsed by 'Roe'. :)

I think that Jenn even made some small signs mentioning that :)

[FluffyUnbound]

That's what I want to know

The campaign knows who their delegates are, and if those slates win, you'll hear about it, believe me.

Then we have to bomb the media.

[JustBcuz]

Ok so conceivably we could win in every district?

Short version. Yes.

If not every single delegate, we want a true majority at the State Convention.

[trey4sports]

I posted this in other threads, but I'll post here.That "pro life" thing is a farce and I should have taken a picture of it. I wouldn't spend 2 seconds worrying about it.
I basically means that huck/romney/whoever did not have enough delegates! That means that voting for the 15 delegates on that sheet didn't really cast a vote for anyone in particular...

Folks, Ron has got this sewed up based on what I saw. Everyone take a deep breath and a glass of wine and relax. All the worrying and work has been done by the grassroots down here. I'd almost call tonight a formality. Believe it or not!!!!

LOL we should have ...made a mistake and printed other sheets of paper with out delegates on it that had: "Mitt Romney" and "John McCain" at the top.

We'd never actually do that, of course, but...

I was actually worried about someone possibly tricking me with the delegate sheets they were handing out. One person gave me a white sheet that listed the RP delegates and alternate RP delegates for all of the districts. I wasn't about to just take that sheet and use it without verifying whether it was valid. I walked over to the RP table and spoke with a grassroot leader who gave me another list of the RP delegates and alternates for just MY DISTRICT. The list matched the original white form I was given so I felt quite confident using the grassroot sheet to vote.

[Melissa]

Gosh LA you guys are awesome

[FluffyUnbound]

The campaign absolutely must issue a statement - TONIGHT - about how they believe their activist / delegate slates have performed.

If they don't know, they SHOULD know.

If they know, they should say what they know.

[Unless we got crushed.]

[CJLauderdale4]

I just heard they are handing out full Ron Paul slate lists to all who enter the voting areas. ROn Paul has his own teams at every voting location handing them out, so you basically go in there and vote for who they tell you on the sheet!!!

NICE JOB!!!

As indicated earlier Ron Paul had 15 delegates running out of a total of 63.
Mitt Romney had about 10 or 11 delagates running.
The "uncommitted" slate had 15 delegates which was Profamily, ProLife, ProReagan as per their flyer.
Hard to tell if anyone else had truely committed delegates since there were no flyers for others candidates I could find.
I saw a couple of Guiliani supporters, no visible presence from McCain's or Huckabee's folks that I could see.
Ron Paul folks were waving signs before entrance into the facility, no one else.
Hard to tell what will come out of this, but folks at the sign-in table said many many folks had registered with them prior to voting.

[CJLauderdale4]

They'll report it like they reported Wyoming's caucus.
After the fact and a big "who cares"...

But, delegates are delegates, no matter where they come from...

So, OWN IT, LOUISIANA!!!

So weird... we beat Romney but we're tied with Ronald Reagan? I guess the candidates banding together under "uncommitted" think if they chant his name enough he will appear in Minneapolis next summer

[bobo37]

Sounds like the delagets don't vote until Feb 16th, that sucks but it's still great if the majority of them are RP supporters. They are uncommited unless a candidate receives more that 50% on Feb 9th

We aren't going to know for awhile. They're counting the PAPER ballots.

By the end of the night, our people should be able to tell us how many of our delegates were elected out of the 105...

The only signs in Lafayette outside of the caucus building were Ron Paul signs.

I voted at the District 1 site and saw RP signs all the way down the street from the voting site. There were RP signwavers in front of the building too. I saw no other supporters with signs outside the building.

I also saw RP delegates talking to people outside the building. They were handing out RP delegate sheets for District 1 and introducing themselves to people walking in the building. There was one RP table and one Romney table in the building. The RP table actually faced you as you walked in and was clearly more visible than the Romney table which was facing a wall in the hallway. I saw no visible signs of Huckabee supporters(no tables,no promoters period) but did see one McCain supporter handing out their delegate sheets.

Overall, I was quite impressed with the turnout I saw for RP. We should do quite well in my district. :D

Ok, let me try to explain what my ballot looked like. There were 30-40 names on it. I got to pick UP TO 15 people on that list. When I got there, I got a "sample ballot" from the RP table. On this sample ballot, the RP "delegates" were in bold print. There was one name highlighted. That sample ballot varied from district to district. I was in district 3. Since I was not on the list (but still got to vote, they just have to verify I was registered before the 30th of November, which I was) I had to fill my paper out and hand it to another women who placed it in a box of what I'm assuming was voters that had to be verified. So, how RP delegates gets in is like this. Everyone picks up to 15 names off of that list. Those names with the most votes get the delegate spots. You didnt have to pick 15, you could pick 1, you could pick 2, you could pick anything up to 15. If you picked 16 that would void your entire ballot, meaning no one you voted for would count.

Lafayette caucus update:

In case you don't know me: I'm delegate #57, Daniel J Schroeder, on the District 7 ticket.

We had a HUGE turnout....but so did the other team. There was a "Pro-Life, Pro-Family" ballot being passed around, outside of the official campaign ballots. Not sure yet exactly whom that ticket represented.

They're counting votes now.

So if this is the case, we need to learn from this, and make sure to have all the brochures ready, especially the Pro Life ones! Then hand them all out to these people!!

Would a Paul delegate be listed in that ballot since Paul's platform is pro life?? I'm probably being naive or optimistic here.

[FluffyUnbound]

No, the "name" was just a scam. It was Thompson / McCain / Giuliani delegates giving themselves a name they thought would get votes.

I don't know why the Thompson people bothered to show.

And Giuliani isn't pro-life. Or pro-family. Well, his own family anyway.

[Shii]

I don't know why the Thompson people bothered to show.Most likely they were Freepers, those guys rallied behind Thompson and enjoy screwing up polls

Seems it was a combination of Giuliani, Huckabee and Thompson. Too big of cowards and losers to fight on their own, they band together on some uncommitted ticket it seems.

Giuliani is not even pro-life????

AAARRRGGGG !!!!! This is going to kill me.....

[davrobi]

I work with one of the delegates running on the Prolife-Profamily ballot. She has told me she is wavering between Huckabee and Paul when I asked her who she was supporting. Her son who is too young to vote is a Ron Paul fan. In fact she asked me a while back if I wanted to be on the ballot, but work does not allow at this time to commit to conventions. I do not get the sense that these delegates are Guliani or McCain delegates.

[zahirakids]

Think about this. If Paul delegates win tonight they not only decide the National convention delegates the get to decide the LA Republican party platform.

[speciallyblend]

i cant wait,but so far ,it sounds like all talk just like nh/ia i so hope im wrong ,but we heard all the same things before there votes as well,so i hope this time its REAL

The good thing is, even if they do have a majority of delegates, they wont all vote for the same candidate, so Ron will come out on top. It would still be nice to walk away with 50% or more of the delegates though.

How do you define "soon"?


Really - people are expecting results....


But what are you really expecting?



We're not going to get X votes for Paul, X votes for Rudy.....

And we're not going to get percentages.



We're going to have to find out what delegates have been selected - and how many of them are Ron Paul people...



LA was GREATLY organized from the reports we're getting so far.

Harbor hope - but like getting Cali. kids registered today - it's going to be an invisible victory until the 16th of Feb.

We're just ensuring an EASY win in the future.

Today doesn't really matter...
The primary is on the 9th.

If no one gets 50% - then our efforts tonight will pay off on the 16th.

Nothing spectacular is going to happen tonight.



Relax, and rest assured that there will be good news in the morning - after all the data has been run (i.e. what delegates won, and who each of them really supports...)

[hueylong]

We will know how many delegates out of 105 we elected to the State convention. That number of delegates can be turned into a percentage. Then, we can run with that info.

[Kalash]

Let me amend that...

If we get the majority of the delegates tonight, we can assume we won 20(ish) national convention delegate votes for Ron Paul - because only 1/2 of the delegates will be decided IF someone gets 50% on the 9th's primary.

So... other than a nearly "for sure" future victory, nothing spectacular will happen tonight.

No official tally will be added to Ron Paul's delegate count tonight.

I'm going to go post my thoughts and experiences over in the Winning LA forum,
I just wanted to say those uncommitted people were dressed nice. I talked to all of them almost at the Pontchartrain Center (District 1). I didn't realize it at the time, but one guy said he liked Thompson, another kept mentioning Huckabee. However none of them mentioned JulieAnnie, in fact the ones I talked to hated Julie. They just said they were uncommitted and wanted a candidate who was Pro Life/Pro Family

I talked to them for awhile. Told them about Ron Paul and how he is very pro-life, mentioned the Roe endorsement. They all liked Paul, and said if they won they would consider voting for him. They said they wanted to become a strong group of delegates who could be swayed to the strongest Pro-Life candidate. I told them I would send our Ron Paul delegation to visit them at the state convention if they made it. They were nice people, and I hooked them all up with a bottle of water. Maybe I planted a seed!

My other comment is that people need to focus on serious issues. Not Pro-Life Pro-Family, come on our men are dying, or dollar sucks. It was frustrating how many people thought Pro-Life was #1 problem in the country.

Also, Ron there's Ron's Bill - HR 2597

"Many talk about being pro-life.

In Congress, I am the lead sponsor of HR 2597 the ‘Sanctity of Life Act’ and a similar bill, HR 300 the ‘We the People Act.’"


Paul introduced The Sanctity of Life Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctity_of_Life_Act) of 2005, a bill that would have defined human life to begin at conception (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conception),

and removed challenges to prohibitions on abortion from federal court jurisdiction.[138] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Ron_Paul#_note-100)

In 2005, Paul introduced the We the People Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_the_People_Act), which would have removed "any claim based upon the right of privacy,

including any such claim related to any issue of ... reproduction" from the jurisdiction of federal courts.

If made law, either of these acts would allow states to prohibit abortion.[100] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Ron_Paul#_note-wtpa)

My other comment is that people need to focus on serious issues. Not Pro-Life Pro-Family, come on our men are dying, or dollar sucks. It was frustrating how many people thought Pro-Life was #1 problem in the country.

Amen to that.
Abortion is hardly an issue if the only result is more deaths for some distant battleground.


Imagine if you had the choice -

1.--- being aborted in your mother's womb

-or-

2.--- existing for 18 years,
12 of which are spent in the penitentiaries we call public schools
only to be drafted upon graduation
and then sent to die on the battlefields of Ira*.
As a virgin, no less,
never to actually enjoy a moment of a life of your own.

I don't support abortion,
but the path laid out by the warmongering is utterly unconscionable.

In a society not at war we would have a chance to properly address abortion.
In a society at war abortion becomes a moot point - our children die, either way.

Please don't take offense, this is merely my perspective...

good find... some of my favorite posts there


I'm also hearing that the other candidates didn't have enough delegates so what they did was Rudy's guys along with Fred and Mike's all joined together to form the pro-life group to have a complete slate of delegates to avoid having Ron Paul sweep the districts.... - Even acting as one, can the Neocons beat Dr. Paul? I think not!


I just got back your right, the Ron people had the whole delegate slate full (15) in district 7 they also had the alt. delegates full, and they auto. won them because no other candidate applyed for them. Thats right... they couldn't get a single delegate in district 7.

But why were there so few Huck delegates, despite his "large grassroots support," well, heres what one Huck supporter had to say:

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. Oh, it's because they don't think Huck can get far enough in the race! Who's electable now, Mr. Huckabee?
