Thank you. Can you direct me to a link that shows the ACTUAL delegate count for each candidate as they are awarded? I know Newt got 75 from GA tonight since GA is a winner talk all state. The Google supposed count had newt with only 72 delegates which means he got nothing in SC??? That is BS!
I also heard that although Santorum won some popular vote he did not win many delegates. I want to see an accurate running total for each candidate as the primaries proceed.
As for my state of FL, the delegates are not secure for Romney as Florida delegates may be awarded proportional in the end. :)
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.
