today was great. I went to the caucus site as soon as it opened and joined the crowd of Paul supporters. it was fantastic. this is the first time I've really become involved in something like this.
here's the epic part: there was no official exit polling or anything but I spent the entire day standing right next to the entrance to the place so I have a pretty good idea of how things went. my best estimate from what I saw today is around 9:1 Paul:Romney. we'll see what the news says this evening. If Romney "wins" today I swear I'm calling the fucking news or the radio or something. For the first time in my life I've seen this entire process with my own eyes, Paul should win this district with a landslide. the vote count was private but thankfully they allowed a few representatives from each campaign to stay and oversee the counting process so if they try anything fishy, there will be Paul people there to call bullshit.
(there were also a few epic arguments between Paul and Romney supporters, lol. it's SO easy to fucking own Romney supporters in a debate..)

lol, no not this time.
also i forgot to mention one of the most interesting parts of the day.
I spoke to an old (probably 80's or 90's) Hungarian man and he had some awesome stories to tell. He escaped Hungary in 1956, and he's infuriated by the fact that, in his opinion, he sees America going down the same road as his old homeland. i wish i would have had a camera to record that dude talking.

YES. no official results yet that I'm aware of but the people at DailyPaul are directly in touch with the delegates in Louisiana and it looks like RON PAUL JUST FUCKING WON LOUISIANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought the Louisiana Primary was already held and won by frothy Santorum? ???

it was, and today was the state caucus to dole out the delegates. all of Santorum's bound delegates became unbound when he dropped out.
same way Ron Paul didn't win Iowa and Minnesota but after those caucuses, he now carries the majority of their delegates. this has been his strategy all along.
