CNN atop thread and USA today have it Mitt 8 Fred 2, Hunter 1 with 1 pending and 91-92% done. LAT has Mitt 6, Fred 2, Hunter 2 and thus 2 pending. I'm not sure which, if either, is correct, but three things are currently certain on the total delegate tally. Mitt now leading, passing Huck's 17-12 lead from Iowa. Fred is in sole possession of third place with at least 5. And Hunter is infinitely times ahead of Rudy. If he got the 2 he's tied Paul and 1 back from McCain. He's assured of at least a footnote in Minneapolis.

BTW, in a little noted bit of trivia, Ron Paul did carry one Iowa county, to Huck's 77 and Mitt's 24. Said county is best known in Iowa for its institution of higher learning, Maharishi University. It looks like Paul really turned out the transcendental meditation folks.

With one county remaining it stands at:

Romney 8 delegates 5 alternates
Thompson 2 delegates 1 alternate
Hunter 1 delegate 1 alternate
McCain 1 alternate
Uncommitted 4 alternate

The outstanding county has a delegate assigned to it.

Some counties are listed as alternates because Wyoming lost half it’s delegates due to having it’s caucus prior to Feb 5. Those “alternates” will attend the convention under the hope that the eventual nominee will decide to seat them despite their breaking the rules.

Iowa was not penalized because their caucus was non-binding. Technically speaking Iowa didn’t even count.
