LA has both a caucus and a primary. It seems that the caucus changed the rules very late in the game, which resulted in a lot of Paul delegates to lose their vote. I don't know how accurate this is, but this is what I have consistently heard.<BR/><BR/>I am hardly surprised or shocked. In fact, I would have been shocked if there were no reports of shenanigans.<BR/><BR/>There was an account of it on Lew Rockwell's website <A HREF="http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/018949.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/><BR/>I hope this helps...Rev.

"South" is as much a state of mind as it is a cardinal point on the compass.<BR/><BR/>Being an adult convert to Lutheranism myself, I am particularly sensitive about the liturgy and the sacraments - holy treasures too often taken for granted by "cradle Lutherans."<BR/><BR/>Wow! To have my name in the same sentence with Dr. Wilson! No doubt, you're referring to Dr. Clyde Wilson, professor emeritus out of the University of South Carolina. I had the privilege to meet him (and Dr. Tobias Lanz) at Maurice's Barbecue in the capital of the Palmetto State.Rev.

I know that Ron Paul has filed to contest the results.

Like Christianity, one can be converted to Louisiananism and New Orleanianity. And it is often the convert who is the most zealous."<BR/><BR/>I am a convert to Lutheranism and I find myself to be easily angered when I see the Liturgy and Law/Gospel preaching abandoned or put in a corner in favor of the superficiality I thought I left behind in American Christianity. I find myself sympathizing with the Society of Saint Polycarp (that pesky 7th rule is giving me pause, although I find myself less and less able to disagree with it. ;))<BR/><BR/>As a frustrated and lost (except of course when it comes to the Church) product of public school and Walt Disney, it is refreshing to hear that one can be converted to "New Orleanity," although I don't plan on converting to it per se. It is the idea of any sort of "cultural conversion" that sounds refreshing to a victim Mainstream American "culture."<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work, Fr. Hollywood! It is nice to be able to read the blog of someone with whom I agree both theologicaly and culturally! I am not a Southroner, but I would consider myself a Southron sympathizer, thanks to Dr. Wilson and yourself.<BR/><BR/>Pax Christi,<BR/><BR/>Benjamin J.
