Oh*Nola

In Louisiana, alegerile au atins un nou nivel de dubiosenie. Precum articolul de mai jos specifica, suporterii lui RP au fost in majoritate, comparat cu suporterii celorlalti candidati. DAR, se pare ca o miscare ninja (!) a permis victoria unui group denumit "Pro Life/Pro Family", format din suporterii tuturor celorlalti candidati. Lol... Rudy pro life? Ha! Nici nu stiu daca asa ceva e legal, dar se pare ca nu e "precupetit nici un efort" pentru a opri sustinatorii Dr. Paul:

Although Louisiana holds a presidential primary on February 9, the Republican Party chooses its delegates to the national convention with a two-step caucus/convention system. The first round was held on February 22, when approximately 10,000 Louisiana Republicans turned out to vote in eleven different cities for delegate to the state convention. Each U.S. House district chose 15 delegates.

It appears that Ron Paul supporters outnumbered the supporters of any of his opponents. But since this was predicted, the supporters of Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, and Mitt Romney, cooperated to set up a “fusion” slate of unpledged candidates for Delegate. The “fusion” slate, labeled the “Pro-Life/Pro-Family” slate, beat the Ron Paul slate in each of the 7 U.S. House districts. Formally, the “fusion” slate billed itself as an “uncommitted” slate, and no one really knows how many supporters of each presidential candidate are on the fusion slate, except the campaigns themselves.
