If you have something against Gingrich, spit it out.

If I understand the LA rules you have to get over 25% to earn any delegates. If you get over 50% you win them all. If you win with just a plurality the delegates are divided proportionately, in some way, amongst those winning over 25%. Currently with 52%% of vote in (admittedly none from Orleans Parish):

Rick 49%
Mitt 26%
Newt 17%
Ron 6%

So unless there is a BIG difference in the other 44% of the vote, possible with Orleans all out, Newt will win nothing for himself but he'll win delegates for Mitt at the expense of Rick by holding Rick under 50%. Great strategy by the Newtered!
