Actually, I was using RitaOK’S post 81.
I’m not sure that there is a truly actual count right now.
I believe any state that has a primary prior to April is SUPPOSED to be proportional.So using that rule of thumb, Georgia is proportional. Like you said, Florida is being challenged because they moved their primary prior to April and awarded their votes winner take all.
Since this is such an important election, I guess I have paid more attention than usual. Every state does things so differently. It was an eye opener for me. If I understand this, some of the delegates won’t be awarded until state conventions. So they truly aren’t “pledged”. The caucus states still confound me.
So in answer to your very simple question, I don’t think the delegate count is set in concrete at this point. Unless the published delegate count consists of “pledged” delegates.
You are right, berdie, on the pledged and unpledged delegates.
CNN has had the delegate count up all night.
Now it shows
Romney - 359
Santorum - 139
Gingrich - 93
Paul - 60
Taken altogether, we are haunting and messaging the RINO Establishment that half the party remains ABR.
We want to take it to convention.
If ANYONE drops out it makes it harder and more expensive for one to carry all the water against socialist Romney.
Thanks for the info. I do understand that most states are supposed to be proportional, but GA is one exception. Reason I don’t know, but I was told that GA was the only winner take all state of the primaries today. You are so right about all the sates doing things differently. It really is hard to know what the totals will be! So many percentages to figure and also the rules in some states where it is based on percentage of votes in particular districts! Thanks again!
