Did I read that Nevada, Missouri and Minnesota’s caucuses will award NO delegates?
No, MO has a primary, but delegates are chosen in March at a separate caucus. However, the winner of the primary is odds on favorite to take the caucus.
That’s Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota where no delegates are awarded in the primary contest. In Missouri, at least, delegates are chosen at county and state GOP conventions. Not sure how they are selected in CO and MN.
Well, living in MO I can speak to that one. And a hare-brained one it is - we have a primary today that doesn’t really count as it will award no delegates. Also, Newt’s not on the ballot anyway. Then, on March 17, we have a caucus where delegates WILL be decided. First time I’ve ever seen that here. WHY don’t all the states just stop having their primaries so darned early, against party rules??? Then the delegate situation would be clearer.
For any Missourians who want to vote for Newt, they need to check the “Uncommitted” box.
