And it wasn’t even a primary but a caucus.

1% of KS caucused.

53% of that, voted for S.

Delegates, to be chosen later, are unbound.

It’s good for him and his, but the headline is wacked out.

Take a look at the following for the procedure in the Kansas Caucus....

http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P12/KS-R#0310

It begins:

Saturday 10 March 2012: All 40 of Kansas’ delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today’s Precinct Caucuses. Caucuses begin at 10:00 AM CST. [Section II. 1.] Each voter casts 1 ballot for the candidate of his or her choice. [Section IV. 2. B.]

and ends with:

National Convention Delegates are bound unless released by the candidate. [Section VI. 1.]
