    According to the Shreveport Times, the Pro-Life/Pro-Family ticket won in all 7 districts last night. All non-Paul candidates pooled their delegates into a single delegate slate: Huck, Romney, Benito, McCain, Thompson.

    And what about Reagan? Well, this is the handout for the Pro-Life/Pro-Family delegate slate; It has a photo of Ron and Nancy Reagan and says "win one for the gipper." This is a new low for the rest of the field, but it is what it is and I am not suprised one bit.

    Non-Paul candidates also pooled their resources in Wyoming, where Paul was actually ahead on some of the first ballots, but supporters of the various neocon candidates pooled their support to win the county.

    On the plus side:

    1. The coalition delegate slate will be split 4 ways at the state convention, and Paul may have more than any one candidate.

    2. Paul supposedly has most of the alternate delegate slots, most of which were uncontested. So if somebody doesn't show up or is ruled ineligible, a Paul delegate can step up.</div>

    Paul gets most delegates, but doesn't technically win. Thats some BS pooling 5 candidates together. Let those losers lose to Paul on their own. These dirty politics are ruining this country.

    Who is Benito mentioned above? Mussolini?

    If RP get most of the delegates then he wins IMO.

    To paraphrase Dan Patrick, "You can't stop the Ron Paul Revolution; you can only hope to contain it."

    Looking at the list, I'd deduce "Benito" is Giuliani.

    Process of elimination should have been applied. D'oh!

    I like how Keith Olbermann refers to him as St. Rudy of 9/11.

    Olberman is a prince among men.
