WASHINGTON -- Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, dominated the Louisiana Republican caucuses held Saturday. The results guarantee he will have a strong presence in the state's delegation to the Republican National Convention in August, even if he has little hope of winning the party's presidential nomination. The caucuses were held in the state's six newly drawn congressional districts. While the presidential preferences of the delegates were not identified on the caucus ballots, delegates who back the libertarian congressman, who is now the only one of Mitt Romney's adversaries still standing, won the lion's share of the contests, carrying the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th Congressional Districts. As a result, under party rules, Paul is guaranteed at least 17 of the 46 delegates to the convention...

If you don't have a link to this then it is a hoax and off topic.
Of course you could always post facts, or factual opinion, or anything besides dribble

Can't wait to see this one on CNN. Maybe they will have to admit that Ron Paul has a serious chance of beating Romney and Obama after all?edit on 28-4-2012 by epsilon69 because: grammer

There are many reasons to disregard the value of a Ron Paul presidency. His favored policies are delusional, and his record as a Representative from Texas is totally negligible. He has a history of pandering to poorly educated racists and the most paranoid and deluded of the republican base. His association with numerous fringe groups, such as the Mises Institute makes me think he's likely to put some of their nutty members in any possible cabinet. The fake eyebrows are creepy. Finally, his supporters have formed a strange cult of personality about him, more extreme than anything I have witnessed in this country.
That about covers it.

Anyone that takes anything you have to say seriously only need to read over your past post, as an admitted shill your opinion is the only thing that should be disregarded..
The true cult are those against him with their hate and filth... I would tell you to join a club but I'm guessing you already belong to one

So, personal attacks are the only response you have? I'm sorry, but this isn't going to be much of a thread at this point. Couldn't you respond by defending the fake eyebrows, or something?

What is amazing to me is the sheer unreality of it all-- It's like the Ron Paul Campaign and his followers inhabit an alternate dimension where he's been the inevitable victor the whole time. All the normal rules people follow for deciding who won elections, are ignored, and victory is claimed time and time again, no matter the outcome. If not in the popular vote, then in the delegates.
My prediction: most of these press releases are just bull, put out by the paul campaign, and the only people they are intended to fool are his massive herd of sheep- the better to fleece them. In the end there are going to be a lot of confused and angry Paul supporters after nothing happens at the convention. It will be a very unpleasant moment of truth. At that point the story will change to 1. We wuz robbed, 2. It was all about waking people up. 3. Rand Paul 2016! The official campaign will go with 2 and 3.

Everything published about Ron Paul is "bull" but the lack of mainstream media coverage of it is just plain normal huh?

Romney is magically our nominee, yet no one pays attention to him or gives a # about him.

Give me a break, the only reason Ron Paul isn't unanimously supported is because his organization DOESN'T bribe anyone.
