This is just presidential preference though right? Non-binding votes? no delegates?

Wha the heck is a no-delegate “presidential preference” primary? Why bother with that?

The delegates are non-binding, but if Romney wins the delegates will be mainly Romney supporters.

You are correct! Good article below.

Romney’s son visits Maine as caucuses begin

The GOP caucuses are essentially a nonbinding preference poll and the first stage in a longer process in which delegate support is allocated. Delegates to the state convention are elected at the caucuses. The state convention in turn elects delegates to the national convention.

This year’s caucuses will include a first in Maine: 17-year-olds will get a chance to take part in the presidential selection process.
