Republican Candidates Pool Ticket to beat Paul in Louisiana Caucus - The Orange Mane

Taco John · 01-23-2008, 12:12 PM

Wow. Ron Paul just about won Louisiana, but all the other candidates pooled their ticket into one so-called "Pro-Life, Pro-Family" ticket to steal the win and split the delegates...

Per LRC.com

Ronald Reagan Wins Louisiana Caucus
Posted by Nick Bradley at January 23, 2008 08:56 AM

According to the Shreveport Times, the Pro-Life/Pro-Family ticket won in all 7 districts last night. All non-Paul candidates pooled their delegates into a single delegate slate: Huck, Romney, Benito, McCain, Thompson.

And what about Reagan? Well, this is the handout for the Pro-Life/Pro-Family delegate slate; It has a photo of Ron and Nancy Reagan and says "win one for the gipper." This is a new low for the rest of the field, but it is what it is and I am not suprised one bit.

Non-Paul candidates also pooled their resources in Wyoming, where Paul was actually ahead on some of the first ballots, but supporters of the various neocon candidates pooled their support to win the county.

On the plus side:

1. The coalition delegate slate will be split 4 ways at the state convention, and Paul may have more than any one candidate.

2. Paul supposedly has most of the alternate delegate slots, most of which were uncontested. So if somebody doesn't show up or is ruled ineligible, a Paul delegate can step up.

Update: The LA GOP is reporting that there are only 650 provisional ballots (not half like I heard earlier), and that the provisional ballots will not be counted in the 3rd and 7th districts due to a sufficient margin of victory. However, they will be counted in the other districts because it can affect the margin of error. With 10,000 votes cast and 650 provisional ballots, the margin of victory in the other districts must have been very close. In addition, alternates were selected in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th districts.

I have some room in my safe, and I could also come up with a bunch of off the wall ideas. I haven't delivered any babies, but I made a few, and you could call me "DR" so I could sound more respectable just like Ron.

I crack up everytime I hear his blip about "and he's deliverred 4000 babies", as if that makes him more electable!
So ****ing what. There are many midwifes out there who have delivered babies, but it doesn't qualify them for a room in the White House.

If you think this is an "Economic Crash" you have a lot of learning to do...

That's for "cold hard cash", Ron Paul only has IOU's. His contributors are counting on future weekly allowances and lemonade stand profits.

Apparently they could have both used it in Louisiana to try to beat Paul with. Instead, they joined forces with everybody else to compete with him.

This is sort of what the other Dem candidates tried to do in Michigan,
get people to vote uncommitted as a protest vote against Hillary.
But in her case she still won.
