You might be right. At our caucus we signed in first thing, indicating our preferred candidate. There was no discussion during the caucus regarding the pros and cons of the candidates. Unless they are going to figure out the votes off of the the delegate sign-up sheets by cross referencing the names with the precinct sign-in, there is no other way they can come up with a number of votes. I do not think that it is true that Romney cannot gain any delegates from the process. There were a lot of people at the caucus that voted for Romney. And what about all the people who sent in their ballots before Romney suspended his effort? Are their votes just tossed out for the primaries?

The delegates are supposed to be 51% from the primary and 49% from the caucuses (or is it vice-verse?). So, today, the delegates that were "elected" will be for a given candidate for at least the split second they said whom they were for today, but that could change as soon as they were "elected". There is nothing keeping them from changing when they go to the county convention or the state convention. they can do whatever they want.

Romney could get some delegates from the primary votes, but from the caucus? I don't know. At the caucus, my vote for Romney was never registered and my writing Romney on the sign-in sheet will never mean anything as far as I can tell.....
