Once again, proof that you don't know how it all works. States like Florida which are winner take all and others like Nevada, Louisiana, and any other state that has a caucus has yet to award any actual delegates. The media doesn't report this (hell, they might not even know.) They claimed that Paul got 4 Nevada delegates, Romney 18, etc... This is just simply not true. We have our county convention in 3 weeks which determines who will vote in our state delegate contest in April. In April when we all meet, we vote who will be representing Nevada at the National GOP convention (which is where they elect the candidate.) At that time, the 31 Nevada delegates will cast their vote for which candidate they choose.
What frustrates me about this whole process is that the media doesn't report the truth on this and just claims delegates and assigns them to the percentage of votes that a candidate got in the meaningless straw poll.
Some states are winner takes all (which is determined at the state convention) and those delegates are required to vote for that candidate at the national convention. Florida follows this method, but truth be told, (and despite media reports) John McCain has not won Florida and it won't be won until April.
So, UB and others, before you go touting that I'm wrong, be sure to look a little deeper next time.
