When To Start Watching: Polls will close for the Louisiana Republican primary at 8 p.m. CDT (9 p.m. EDT). Results will begin to come in around 8:30 p.m. CDT.
What's At Stake: Twenty of the state's 46 delegates are up for grabs Saturday, divided proportionately among all candidates who receive more than 25 percent of the vote in the state. Louisiana hosts a closed primary, meaning only registered Republicans may vote for the four candidates in the GOP contest.

I am ready, but I doubt that I am as ready as you. Hope you like blues harp.
Beautiful bus.
OK, maybe I jumped the gun on the results but just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.
And surely you see the difference between Clinton and the Come-back-kid and Santorum. I see a concerted effort to keep Santorum down.
Swell, just swell - I’ll be doing the work and you’ll be playing a damn harp. I’ll get your favorite duck, forgot her name, and threaten to eat her to get you working. Or, you could play with my Yorkie, that would be okay.
You know we are coming to that outcome if Hussein wins.
What about the other 26?
That bus left the station already.
Santorum just hit 50% with 62 percent Reporting. If he breaks 50%, he get all the Delegates.
Those are narrow swimming pool lanes behind our hero.
And that is the objective.
Rick made it to 50%
The cities (Shreveport, Lafayette, BR, and NO) all slow to report in. Though Sherveport is Romney at the moment, very little vote in, I expect that to flip. I think Rick may do better in NO than expected.
At this pace, Rick is doing even better than Huckabee from 2008 http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#LA
Santorum back down to 49%... 62 percent Reporting.
What is taking so long with these three counties?
They’re parishes ;-)
not sure, but in comparison to some of the other states, they’ve been pretty quick. polls closed for 90 minutes and 65% in. Not too bad.
2/3 of the vote in, and Newt has 16%...will he really stay in the race? I read somewhere you have to get at least 25% of the vote to get delegates.
CNN is playing games. If you add up the totals right now, you come up with 97%.
Are they including fringe candidates? Roemer alone is pulling over 1%, and Bachman and Perry are both carrying significant fractions of a percent.
Thanks, posted earlier but took a while to submit.
Wish Rick could get to 50+ tonight.
Let’s focus a lot on Wisconsin/Maryland the next 10 days.
Newt and the remainder of Orleans Parish will prevent Santorum from getting 50%+.
