A fight pitting the Ron Paul forces against the rest of the party is likely to lead the convention to split into two competing meetings that will proceed to put together two, somewhat different Louisiana delegations to send the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August, and leaving it to the national GOP's Contest Committee to sort it out.

I don't know if Wead is correct
At the national convention the validity of Louisiana's caucus was still in question. In a stunning coincidence, many delegates were flown home before the nomination process to prepare for Hurricane Gustav..... on John McCain's dime! Was that actually a penalty for breaking caucus rules?
