If I understand it correctly, the delegates are committed for the first vote and then free to vote whomever after that?

I believe so.

We are picking a lot of delegates who support Ron Paul even though they are committed to others (Romney here in Nevada). Do I have that right?

Maybe someone who knows more than me can comment on that.

Thanks. I am pretty sure I’ll be writing in a candidate and if that’s not possible, voting none of the above. No more voting for the lessor of two evils or Republican just to stop the Democrat. I’m a Conservative first, Republican second.

I think that’s right. But for that to happen, no one must win a majority on the first ballot.

So if Rudy Giuliani were to win the Florida primary, it would keep the Republican field from settling on a front-runner. If McCain or Romney wins the Florida primary, they will be closer to a first-ballot victory.
