It appears that Ron Paul came in 2nd in Louisiana's Caucuses

Second in Nevada. And now second in Louisiana.



He's not doing too bad. He has now beat every other candidate in the race, in one state or another.


He's got the money to do well on Super Tuesday, if he SPENDS it, which I have no idea whether he will or not. Hopefully he does.

i heard that "uncommitted" beat everyone...seriously...that would put Ron Paul 3rd in "voting" where uncommitted wins

"Uncommitted" was actually everyone else except Paul under a "Pro-family" ticket.


So, when you combined everyone else over Paul, everybody else won.

Since it is a good bet that the provisional ballots (Brand new Republicans) will go predominately to Ron Paul, he may very well have won. Because they are not showing who the delegates support in the updated information, Ron Paul may win first and NEVER be reported.

In fact.... Good money says he did, in fact, get first.

Delegate candidates endorsed by US Senator John McCain (R-AZ) appear to have won more state convention delegate positions than any other presidential slate at the Louisiana Caucuses.

"I offer my congratulations Senator John McCain on his success in the Louisiana caucuses,"" Villere said. "Senator McCain is an American hero and this is further evidence that he enjoys strong support in Louisiana and throughout the South," he said.


Solid South = President John McCain

Ron Paul Campaign to Louisiana GOP: Count All the Votes — Ron Paul 2008

also, from Jonathan Bydlak, Fundraising Director for Ron Paul:

"Not surprisingly, the political and media establishment are trying to stop Ron Paul's message from getting out. Just look at what's happening in Louisiana. The Louisiana Republican Party has only posted "unofficial" results from the state's Jan. 22 caucuses on their website. And they are claiming that John McCain won with Ron Paul in second.

But we suspect that when all of the provisional ballots are counted, Ron Paul's showing will be even better. For more information on the "boondoggle in the bayou", read ABC News' coverage here."

My take is it aint over in LA.....as Kenny Rodgers would say...."till the dealing's done."

Why are you complaining about them only posting "unofficial" results considering the "official" results haven't been tallied yet. It even clearly states that the links in red are completed. (none are in red yet) And if you follow the links it clearly states how many provisional ballots there are that haven't been added in yet.

I'm not seeing how they are even remotely "trying to stop Ron Paul's message from getting out." And pointing out that they have only posted the most current info they have and not pure conjecture doesn't back the argument.


I know we are used to instant results and shit, but come off it. They have to verify the provisional ballots before adding them in. They'll post the official results once they have them.

wow rumors from LewRockwell, a very unbiased source. And that ABC newsblog is awful, what were they trying to say? That Ron Paul supporters couldn't caucus?

Welcome to the Secretary of State - NH

NH still has yet to certify their primary results. It must be a vast conspiracy, right?
