Talk:2012 North Dakota Republican presidential caucuses

Delegate count (?)
Green Papers list the 20 for Romney as a 'soft delegate count' and for 'hard delegate count' has zero. FYI, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 02:13, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, it's a little more complex than that. Now the ND Green Papers link (http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P12/ND-R) lists the delegate count as Paul 2, Santorum 6 & Romney 20.  However, a media link (http://wtop.com/?nid=278&sid=2817738) from this talk page's Wiki article page says, "12 delegates said they backed Romney, eight supported Santorum, two favored Paul and one preferred Gingrich. Two delegates said they had no favorite.

Rounding out North Dakota's 28 delegates are three members of the Republican National Committee who will automatically attend the convention. Among them, Sandy Boehler supports Romney while Curly Haugland and Stan Stein, the state GOP chairman, are uncommitted. The delegates said they plan to meet prior to the national convention to decide how they will vote with the idea that they would divvy up votes to reflect the results of the caucuses." So, it looks like basically the "real" delegate split for ND will be Santorum with 11, Paul with 8, Romney with 7 & Gingrich with 2, which is what the main Wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_presidential_primaries,_2012) for GOP Presidential Primary says.  What a mess! Guy1890 (talk) 06:01, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Here is where the names of delegates are listed: but not their preferences. — Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 03:54, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
