Even if Rick Santorum wins the popular vote, he can’t win the separate vote for convention delegeates.
54 slots in 18 congressional districts are up (2 in some, 3 in most, 4 in some)
Santorum is only running one delegate candidate at most in each district.
Romney will win I would guess 40 of the 54 delegate slots anyway by default regardless of how well Santorum does in the popular vote.
Let me correct my earlier post since I’ve dug deeper into the situation.
Romney, Paul and Gingrich all have full 54 candidate slates for convention delegates running in the separate delegate election Tuesday in Illinois.
Santorum does have more candidates than I originally thought, but he is still short of a full slate.
Santorum has 44 candidates for the 54 slots with no candidates in Congressional Districts 4,5,7 and 13.
He will have a harder time than Romney winning delegates on Tuesday night.
