Here's the deal: We vote next Saturday. If 50%+ vote for a single candidate, then at least 50% of our delegates are required to vote for that person. If (more likely) no one achieves a majority, then the delegates <em>can completely ignore our votes</em> and pick whatever candidate they fancy. That doesn't sound like Democracy to me.

We start a 6:30 am and finish about 8pm at the latest with our machines. I won't be working 3/4/08 as my husband is having surgery that day. Our early voting starts 2/19/08 through 2/29/08. I'll be voting in that span of time. Are you all using paper ballots JudyBeth? We start a 6:30 am and finish about

They decided to identify themselves as "uncommitted" rather than support another candidate at that time. That is courageous and I applauded their action then. It is certainly a surprise and shock to me that any uncommitted delegates would support Sen MCain who is a "polar opposite" from their first choice: Senator Fred Thompson! Do not believe everything you hear! Volunteer, now, and send $'s to support Gov Mitt Romney! He is our last chance for any "sanity" in the White House for the next 4 to 8 years! Don't complain! Do something! My Super Tuesday workday begins at 4 AM and ends at 8:30 PM. Get as many as you can to the polls besides yourself! I will be counting into the very late hours, and a record turnout can turn the tide! Still optimistic! jb Fred Thompson would have received (I think)47 LA Delegates, but he dropped out the day before the Republicans met.

I don't believe that I have ever heard of so much intimidation or attempts at intimidation and flat out to your face lying where you know the candidate on one of his/her people are lying. Also, I have never seen two candidates that were so certain that they are absolutely entitled to be our president. And this is before the primaries are even over. The serious do or die campaigning has yet to begin. I may just stay in bed with my head under my pillow until that is over.

I agree with Ms. Springer that the national polls seem to believe that Louisiana is a non-player in this - be that as it may, what she is reporting has happened to the "uncommitted" delegates is awful. I will also say, however, that I definitely DO NOT AGREE with "Raging Republican" (comment #1) that "Louisiana is a travesty". Certain situations may be, but neither Louisiana nor it's citizens are a "travesty", and we do not appreciate other readers of this site being so dismissive of us. Thanks for posting this Michelle.
