Thread: Why is the MSM not reporting the results in Louisiana?

Supposedly the primary there in Louisiana is complete for the Republicans and the MSM and the Republican Party are not disclosing the results.

Rumers are that McCain won and Ron Paul in second or vice versa.

This blogger (I think) is the only one on youtube talking about this.

Because I believe their actual primary isn't until Feb 9

I haven't followed it much but I think this is one of those
twilight zone states that holds a caucus and then a
primary

There are a few States that have both and some have other formats. I suppose that is better than the federal government dictating a set format.

They seem to do things a little different in Louisiana . At the last minute they opened the caucus so other candidates could be part of it so there is still 500 provisional caucus votes uncounted at this point.Stay tuned.

SENATOR McCAIN WON AND PAUL CAME IN 2ND.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY HAD ONE!
