Title: Who breaks 25% in Louisiana? Post by: Erc on March 21, 2012, 12:22:59 PM There is a 25% threshold to receive delegates in Louisiana, which is the highest in the country among all the 'proportional' states.
Which of the candidates will meet that threshold this Saturday? Related question for discussion: Does Newt Gingrich have any relevance in the race anymore if he fails to meet the threshold? Title: Re: Who breaks 25% in Louisiana? Post by: firennice on March 21, 2012, 12:31:26 PM With the contests that are left, and becoming more and more a fringe candidate, I think he will only keep the diehards.
He is just hanging on hoping for some miracle, great speaking slot, or even to get his name out there as much as possible for the next election cycle. Title: Re: Who breaks 25% in Louisiana?

Title: Re: Who breaks 25% in Louisiana? Post by: Eraserhead on March 21, 2012, 05:18:06 PM Santorum and Romney will. Gingrich has a shot at it, but I'd bet against it.

J. on March 22, 2012, 08:14:55 AM etch n skecth comment will give louisanna to santorum. He already had LA. I think Santorum still does, but it will be close to a 60-40 delegate split. Title: Re: Who breaks 25% in Louisiana? Post by: ajb on March 22, 2012, 11:19:05 AM Romney's almost bound to hit 25%, if Gingrich and Paul are non-factors. Santorum's best shot for a sweep of the at-large delegates would be something like
Santorum 40 Romney 24 Gingrich 24 Paul 12 Title: Re: Who breaks 25% in Louisiana? Post by: Queen Mum Inks.LWC on March 22, 2012, 11:20:24 AM etch n skecth comment will give louisanna to santorum.
