Louisiana Caucus is Today
Posted by Chris Brunner at January 22, 2008 05:02 PM

The Louisiana GOP Caucus is today (January 22nd) from 5 to 8 p.m. Central Time and Dr. Paul has a good shot at not only winning 1st place but taking ALL 44 of the National Delegates.

Why, you ask?

Since Louisiana has both a primary and a caucus, the caucus has very poor attendance, and so every vote counts. The caucus is not well publicized and many in the state don't even know they have a Caucus. Furthermore, the delegates elected at these caucuses are the only thing that matters -- the primary in February is completely non-binding in Louisiana.

If Paul supporters are able to get the word out now, he could do very well.

Paul was the only one there, but it seems like we should've done more to get the word out. A victory there could put us in third in delegates count.

Check the hidden forum, yes, it's hard to find because they keep moving these things around.

The media probably won't mention it because I think we did very well there.

No results in yet... but from the sound of it we should be well ahead of the "frontrunners"

They'll have some explaining to do when the primary comes around and everyone realizes Ron Paul already has all the delegates :D

Not completely safe. If a candidate gets 50%+ of the vote in the primary, some of the delegates are commited to that candidate. So, the one concern in the back of my mind is that after Feb. 5th the field narrows and the "losers" back a single candidate and thus one guy gets 50%+

But I don't want to be a downer on otherwise good news!
