He doesn’t get ANY delegates, who are unbound. They can vote for whomever they want at the Convention in Tampa.

Apparently, they have trained the Gingrich minions so well to SAY "unbound delegates" that they don't know what it actually means.

"Saturday 10 March 2012: All 40 of Kansas' delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's Precinct Caucuses. Caucuses begin at 10:00 AM CST. [Section II. 1.] Each voter casts 1 ballot for the candidate of his or her choice. [Section IV. 2. B.]

Not every caucus leads to unbound delegates, or even to the more common "step-wise caucuses" which contrary to the Gingrich supporters claims also lead to the candidate really getting delegates, only later.

Of course, you are also the one acting with glee about only "1%" voting. Which is the way caucuses work, although nobody forces people to stay home.

But taking your 1% seriously, just for a second, I guess that there are only 4,185 people in ALL OF KANSAS who support Gingrich, while millions apparently hate his guts.

Can you cite me an example of were unbound delegates awarded to a candidate didn’t support their guy at the convention?
