I posted basically those numbers the other day.

But, according to Keith, the delegate count is not a strict function of the caucus vote. Actually, Keith maintained it's not a function at all:

Caucuses have NOTHING to do with selection of delegates to the National Convention... that happens at the state convention. Delegates selected to the national convention are in no way selected, or committed in any way, shape, or form based on the caucus results.

My bet is the truth is somewhere in between (otherwise, why have the caucus?).

Bet all you got. You’d lose.

Truth: Caucuses are held to select delegates to COUNTY conventions, and select members of county steering committees, platform committees, etc. — and in presidential cycles, do a “Preference poll” of those in attendance. No delegates to national convention are awarded or apportioned based on the results of caucus voting. That fact can not be escaped, and is yet still lost on you...
