Apparently Ron Paul has a mass of support down there and could take it all so it will be interesting to watch. CNN doesn't even have the caucus listed on the event calender, only the primary. I don't even think they know what is going on, or anyone else for that matter lol.
Ultimately this will lead to continued lack of coverage of the potential second place candidate in the GOP race should he win.

From what I have heard, a lot of the prov. ballots were cast by Paul supporters. This would make sense because who else would be chaging party affliation but Paul supporters. I'll bet its a bunch of LA LP members.
Oh, apparently some people who were given a prov. ballot should have gotten a regular one. They have eividince that proves they had changed party affliation before the deadline. Sounds sort of fishy...
