[ Joy, another caucus. More uncommitted delegates! ]

Wrong. KS caucus elects BOUND delegates!

3 at large to popular vote winner.
3 to each of the 5 congressional district winners.
22 distributed proportionally to candidates getting 20% state wide. All votes for candidates under the 20% threshold are thrown out for purposes of allocating delegates

Thank you for the facts, you provided, rather than sarcasm and hearsay (lack of facts). I appreciate your providing the confirmed details about Kansas. PS: LA Times observes:

"By John Hoeffel --March 10, 2012, 7:00 a.m. Reporting from Wichita, Kan.— Republicans in this red state will decide Saturday whether to hand Rick Santorum another presidential campaign victory and bolster his argument that he is the most viable conservative alternative to front-runner Mitt Romney, not Newt Gingrich. The former Pennsylvania senator dropped into Topeka and Wichita on Friday, his second trip to Kansas since he won three states on Super Tuesday. "We need Kansas," he told about 250 supporters at a rally at the Great Overland Station, an historic 1927 railroad depot, in Topeka. As he was working his way along a line of supporters, signing his name on placards and books, Santorum said, "People are recognizing that we've got a chance to break this establishment gridlock." His low-budget campaign has survived despite overwhelming spending by Romney and a Super PAC trying to get the former Massachusetts governor elected. Santorum and Gingrich, the former House speaker, are fighting over the most conservative Republican voters and Kansas was expected to be their next battleground. But Gingrich backed out of about a half dozen events on Friday and Saturday to spend time in Alabama and Mississippi, which vote on Tuesday. Gingrich has won only two states, both in the South: Georgia, which he represented in Congress for two decades, and neighboring South Carolina."
