The Louisiana caucus results are not in yet (will be in a few hours), but things are looking very positive for Ron Paul.
We have heard a rumor that in Natchitoches Ron Paul won 11 of the 15 Delegates and that there were less than 100 people at some sites, some Ron Paul supporters are saying “Dr. Paul must be doing well, since I haven’t seen anything about it on the so called news channels”.
What do you make of the Louisiana caucus and the lack of news in the main stream media?
Keep an eye on the GOP website, news of the results will be posted there

Geaux RON PAUL!
this is very amusing!!!
Ron Paul must be winning!!!
i agree …
Good to know that the voters in Louisiana have sense enough to vote in an honest candidate. I assume they are fed up with corruption in that part of the country and want a real change. Dr. Paul to the rescue.

I’m praying for Ron Paul to win Louisiana! If he does win it, the Old Media will probably pretend that Louisiana doesn’t even exist, but we’ll see. Regardless, as many as 44 delegates could be Dr. Paul’s . . . that would be WONDERFUL INDEED!
Fox actually posted a non-hatchet job news story on Ron Paul earlier today. Paulites were openly astounded but still mistrustful in the comments section wondering what Fox was really up to.
Louisiana is a place where mainstream politicians don’t want to show their heads. Any appearances have been brief.
There is a growing underlying resentment in the state that was abandoned after what was one of the worst natural disasters in the country. While billions of U.S. dollars are sent to countries that don’t need them to spend with the industrial military complex, New Orleans and surrounding communities have been left in a shambles. They must feel a bit like a piece of the Congo within our borders.
Imagine if a major flood wiped out most of London and the government did nothing while billions were being spent in Iraq supporting a war being waged on the whim of a U.S. President and the owners of the Crown were getting richer from it.
At this point, it appears that Ron’s message of a government, while being open and friendly and encouraging international trade, more concerned with what goes on within its own borders plays well in Louisiana. Hopefully, the rest of the country won’t have to suffer as much in order to come to its senses.
By the way, many of us are hoping that you would loan us Maggie for a while to give Hillary lessons on how to be aggressive without degrading our political process by squabbling like a poorly raised child.
Well thank god there’s at least one state that has some common sense. Good job Louisiana! What I can’t believe is that there is another candidate that the MSM calls top tier, who actually said he wanted to change the constitution to reflect gods will. WHAT????? How is Huckabee still a contender after a comment like that. What if Barack said he wanted to change it to reflect Allah’s will??
I was curious, what is going on with this. Every official 2008 presidential primary/caucus list I could find has this listed for Louisiana:
February 9 Louisiana D&R. So why is the official date listed Feb. 9th and people are already talking Caucus results for a state that isnt supposed to have the caucuses until Feb. 9th? I’m not saying you guys are wrong or anything, perhaps the listed date is wrong, perhaps Louisiana stepped up the date, but something is not right here. Let me know, I’m very interested.
I think it’s time we American’s ask our European friends to come over and monitor our election process. That is going to be the only way we will have fair elections.

Looks like Ron was doing well till,,,rumor is the other candidates supporters banded together to beat him-
this off the LA GOP website
“Prior to the tabulation of the provisional ballots, the uncommitted “Pro-Life/Pro-Family” slate appears to have won a majority of delegates in all seven congressional districts.”
Let me first preface my comments by saying that I am a Mormon from Salt Lake City. I think that Dr. Paul is the new front-runner. I say this because he is the only candidate with a true grassroots movement and who is gaining momentum unlike McCain, Guiliani, and Huckabee who are all losing momentum (not to mention they are all almost broke while Paul continues to receive generous donations from many donors, not from a few ultra rich individuals).
One of the main reasons why Mitt won Wyoming and Nevada is because they are caucus style. Over 1/2 of Romney’s votes came from Mormons, who mobilize very well. Michigan also catered well to Romney as he made extravagant promises to the ailing auto industry. Besides, Michigan residents remember Romney’s father, so that helped him get a bump.
Dr. Ron Paul, on the other hand, is a true statesman with sound fiscal policy, monetary policy, a respect for the constitution, and the rule of law. If the Pro-life/Pro-family slate won in Louisiana, I think the delegates should strongly consider Dr. Paul because he is the candidate that embodies that platform.
