The Rep. Pres. Candidate Ron Paul has seen an overwhelming of support activity in the state of Louisiana. The campaign seems to have a hold of things when they planned for Ron Paul to do a state tour of three major cities in Louisiana. This out-pouring of support comes just the day before the Louisiana Republican caucus's; noted as being explicitly complicated. I did some digging and found this:
The Ron Paul campaign has done extremely well in this state beating every other candidate. Initial reports show him taking most, if not all, of the alternate delegates and as many as 4 of 7 districts. For delegates, Feb 9th will be the campaign last stand to garner more support, as the people of Louisiana vote for the remaining 20 delegates to be allocated.
Seeing the appeal to other contenders in Florida, Ron Paul's campaign set its sites on Louisiana and Ron Paul's win in the Pelican State shows his viability as a Presidential contender.
He still remains the true underdog championing the Constitution and challenging the status quo; this journey into the depths of Libertarianism and the message of hope maybe resonating with the people of other states as well. As individual liberties are exposed as being gone, and more and more people wake up to the world around them.
The unofficial media block on Ron Paul may not have enough steam; sources point to this being one step in the strategy to win the Republican nomination.
Meaning there is more of the strategery to come.

This strategy, and the others to follow will blow the other candidates out of the water. My vote and support is for Ron Paul. We will win the Republican nomination.
The American people deserve a change from all the corruptive forces in Washington which is run by corporations. Ron Paul is the only candidate that can and will do it. Ron Paul will do it using the most important instrument of the law, The Constitution of the United States. We The People will be heard loud and clear from coast to coast. Vote for Liberty and Freedom, vote for less government, no nation building around the world, but most importantly vote to save our country, the economy, and the American people.
To every negative there is a positive. I like the rest was ticked off at the MSM who is completely biased towards it's own self interest. Due to the lack of serious news as opposed to Paris Hilton and all that crap I had been on the internet for info. Which is to conclude that the support of those who are behind Ron Paul are all internetheads like us but at the same time we are thinking people with a lot of brains, we didn't buy into the MSM candidates or there idiot box mentality. We will win we already have.
Louisiana primary is on the 9th of Febuary, the caucus was last night. It's rules are quite convoluted, but available with small effort online should you want to read them.
This will blow up in the face of the Louisiana GOP. Generally, no one cares about the Louisiana Caucus. However, if it can be shown that "the powers that be" colluded to prevent a Ron Paul win, well, that's news.
I suspect an organized effort to subvert the democratic process will garner more publicity and support than Ron Paul would have received had he won the caucus outright. Fox News tried to exclude Ron Paul from a debate, and it's still wiping the egg of its face. This is an actual caucus. People all over the country are going to latch on to this as proof of the oft mentioned "conspiracy" to exclude Ron Paul. Thanks Louisiana GOP, you may as well have made a Ron Paul commercial.
Could you be anymore vague please? Is this an official first release? Did he win or not? Who made the announcement? You're as bad as the sensationalist idiots on the Daily Paul that put their GIANT headlines up for a watered down thread with no truth! WTF? Nice way to get hits on your site asswholes! THOUGHTS? THOUGHTS? Who the hell is Libertuswhatever? This is a cheap shot! I wish I could give you a thumbs down!
The only way Ron Paul has a chance of winning the nomination and the general election is if this video is sent to everyone everywhere. We must send this to everyone we know...vote capture and tabulation has to be changed to ensure a fair election process. Please watch this and send it to EVERYONE!

I urge everyone reading here to read "sickntired's" post above! Copy and paste the link to that video! Why has this information NOT been sent to the media or gotten out to the people?!! This is outrageous!
The main job of the media is to get information to the people. If its bad info, oh well, but with the new tendency to respond to where the money comes from the truth has really been discredited as not worth it. Reporting the truth nowadays on the television seems almost taboo, hence the response we see for Ron Paul.
I'm glad that I could be of some help in getting this information to the people, where it belongs.
Ok.... I support Ron Paul 100% but the Louisina win or part win depending on how you look at it is just confusing.
So are there two cacuas dates? One held yesterday and one in Feb? If so what was the win about last night (or part win).
I didn't find a MSM report other then an article that refered to a pro-life/pro-family vote and it had a number of delegates listed.
Can anyone explain what happened last night and what will occur in Feb?
Was this a GOP event only and didn't count as a binding win for Feb?
Just what the heck does this really mean?
I'm just a confused Ron Paul supporter someone get me the Dr.
Alright as far as everything goes here is the breakdown:
Jan 22. Caucus, 24 of the delegates are decided.(however, because there was a group of uncommitted that outnumbered RP supporters, i dont know exactly how many delegates he gets.
The rest 3 are the state chair, and the rest will be decided upon on feb 9th when everyone else hits the primary.
It is really confusing it took me all morning to read up on what was going on before I could post anything.
This post was most irresponsible. I am an ardent Ron Paul supporter. Ron Paul has not "won" Louisiana. This article, and many similar ones floating around, are the result of arm-chair reporters trying to get their names and blurbs spread around the internet.
Enough with the conspiracy theories. This is not a media blackout. The author of this piece was so confused about how the Louisiana Caucuses work that he didn't even try to explain it.
LibertasPraesidium, this was a nice idea - but I'm afraid you jumped the gun.
At least you got a lot of thumbs up.
As a physicist, I refuse to believe anyone who will not rule out a nuclear strike against Iran has anything worthwhile to say. They are obviously idiots. Dr. Paul is the only republican that is not insane.
I beg anyone who supports a republican other than Dr. Ron Paul to look here
Ron Paul did win. What happened was there were so many Ron Paul supporters that those of all other candidates teamed up as one block. From the reports I have seen the vote is about split. So, Ron Paul got about half (or more) of the delegates and all other candidates combined (into a block) got the other half (or less) of the delegates.
That is the information I have gleened out of my digging around.
That sounds like a Ron Paul win (so far, since this is only half of their process) to me.
Left the caucus with a renewed commitment to promote our core Republican principles of limited government and individual freedom, thanks to the zeal displayed by Congressman Pauls Louisiana supporters," Villere said.
The whole thing of having primaries earlier and those who were planted in the first place and instructed to do so..so that certain states will be robbed of their delegates i.e.. READ REPRESENTATION is quite a farce...
Yeah maybe Aliens don't exist...and Santa Clauss doesn't...and just maybe Al Qaidea did 9/11....
But damn people this is the greatest nation with the best constitution and model of government for the entire world....and you don't think we don't have very crafty enemies who are conspiring against us?
Damn a high ranking republican was arrested recently of funding Al Qaidea....
and you don't see the obvious posturing against Dr. Ron Paul from the media?
I am seriously not trying to pick a fight but understand this when Ron Paul comes in a 'distant 2nd place' and Nevada was "barely contested" ....does that mean everyone in Nevada has political apathy? or doesn't care about this great nation?
Louisiana is hardly on the radar on Google and other searches its slim pickins oh except that 'McCain won'.....
And you people don't think Fred Thompson wasn't in the race to siphon votes away from Hucakabee?
And look at Florida now...it's like 30% 17% and who ever wins even if by 30% gets all of Florida's delegates, chee that's real representative democracy at work right there...
So than what Mitt, or McCain or Guliani win by 30 something % get thier face on the cover of Fox and CNN with that $hit eating grin .... and all the FREE press that comes with it...
and they are now front runners? The go to guy? The saviour of the G.O.P?
Roll up your sleeves and fight...on....and those of you who cry conspiracy (and believe me I'm one of them) get out your camcorders your digicorders, collate all the magazines..articles the inconsistences from the media and someone needs to have an entire web site or blog dedicated to what a farce our election process has become....
From poor Dennis getting kicked out and what's his name from the G.O.P being rarely mentioned...
What this 29 year old is learning more and more is that money buys your vote...
Even if you don't support Ron Paul fine...but doesn't it make you sick to your stomach that the establishment believes they can buy your vote and loyalty?
The problem with Louisiana is that no one can actually figure out who won or who's going to win or if there's anything to report, because no one understands how the hell they run their caucus/primary. It's like Buray. You have to be born in Louisiana to understand how to play.
