I am listening to a local radio program and people are calling in saying who they voted for. Newt has a slight majority so far.
One guy just said he voted for Santorum but there were no Santorum delegates for him to vote for so he voted for Perry delegates instead. I guess he doesn't know that Perry is backing Newt and hopefully his delegates will follow.
I had to vote for 14 delegates but there were only 10 committed to Newt so I voted for those 10 plus 4 Perry delegates too. I have no idea if these delegates will actually vote for Newt or how all of this will be reported tonight but I thought it was interesting and may work in Newt's favor in the end.
Probably the way it works is...
Santorum tells the Perry delegates to vote for Santorum.
Perry tells the Perry delegates to vote for Newt.
Newt tells the Newt and Perry delegates to vote for Newt.
The state party tells all the delegates to vote for Romney.
All the delegates turn out to be stealth Ron Paul delegates and vote for Ron Paul at the convention.
