Probably a mis-report eariler.

The delegate count really isn’t a good measure of the margin of support for each candidate, since each delegate is picked at a convention that is winner-take-all. Romney could end up with 75% of the delegates, but as the original report noted, he had about 51% support at the conventions.

I suppose he could also end up with less than 50% of the delegates, if at all the conventions where he doesn’t have 50%, all the Thompson and Hunter supporters decided to support each other.
