I heard that Huckabee has already pulled back some in Florida. If Romney takes Louisiana tonight, it will be due to his marvelous organization, and determination to succeed. With Fred out of the race (who has my everlasting thanks for having run his dignified campaign as a conservative and adult), Mitt is going to be much stronger in FL as well.
And his statement on Fred’s withdrawal was very classy, too.
:-) :-) :-)
God bless Fred Thompson. Go Mitt!
it’s my understanding that they only chose delegates tonight and there’s a primary on the 29th. If one candidate gets 50 percent plus one on that day, it’s winner take all. if not, the the delagates are free to vote as they want.
DailyPaul is reporting that Paul is winning in the delegates.
Is there nowhere the results are being posted?
Mrs romney really needs a different hairdo. THat’s circa 1984.
Nothing in Google News either.
I think that the loud but vocal Mormon haters have driven a lot of Catholics to Mitt because they understand these same yahoos view Catholics as second-class Christians.
They leave their warped anti-Catholic tracts all over the shopping malls in the area in which I live, predominately Catholic.
They look and read surprisingly similar to the anti-Mormon tracts I've collected in Utah or other places where Mormons are the predominant religion.
Both tracts give a Grand Rapids, Michigan address.
Fairly ironic that these yahoos might actually end up getting Romney nominated and elected, isn't it?
Remember the Democrat lawyers high-fiving each other during the Florida recount debacle in 2000 after disqualifying a large number of military votes? Remember how foolish they looked a couple weeks later when they went back wanting to count every vote of dimpled or hanging chads in selected districts?
Remember the Mormon hating bigots high fiving each other after they put Huckabee over the top in Iowa? Won't it be priceless when the Evangelical Christian Conservatives they claim to own reject Huckabee in growing numbers as the primaries move along?
God must have a sense of humor!
:-) :-) (Notice the ranking — LOL). Thanks!
I have no idea.
But I see Protestants and evangelicals as being a natural source of support (for Huckabee) in the northern part of Louisiana.
I’d be curious as to who Catholic GOP caucus-goers are supporting in louisiana.
There’s three parts to the LA primaries. The first part is the caucus. The second part is the primary. Then they have a statewide convention.
At least this is how I understand it.
The one I don’t quite understand it hawaii. It’s suposed to start this friday I think. And it lasts a week, I think. I don’t know if they just keep the polling places open for a week straight to make it easier on working folks that are busy, or if they actually caucus for several days, or what the heck they are doing.
In 1996, it was called a caucus but it was more like a primary. However there were a limited number of polling locations — I guess maybe they were run by the party rather than the state. However there were very long lines — Gramm was thought to be the most popular, but it was the Buchanan supporters that were willing to wait 5 hours to vote. I admit I wasn’t among the willing.
Did they never pause to think why these races are uncontested? Hmmm? Could it be that no one decided to compete with Mitt in states like Louisiana, Nevada, and Wyoming because no one thought they had a chance?
The fact Mitt's opponents are choosing not to compete with him in so many states says a lot about his strength as a national candidate.
Too bad reporters are too stupid to realize this.
I guess that shows how conservative she is?
Guys, I’m going to say this was some reservation...
Apparently the two parties that are out in full force tonight are Mitt Romney and.... Ron Paul.
Apparently 600 people showed up at a Paul gathering in Baton Rouge. Yes, a college town. But according to sources, the concensus is that Romney and Paul are the most visible.
States like this with little press coverage worry me a bit...
Perhaps too much.
But recall Paul got 2nd in Nevada....
