Was hoping Newt would have had more. SC doesnt give the winner all 25 delegates?

Some delegates are awarded based on who go the most votes in congressional districts. WaPo writes there’s still six delegates to be decided; that may be old information. Their counts for Newt and Romney don’t match CBS numbers.

According to this page, South Carolina awards 11 delegates to the overall winner, plus 2 delegates for each congressional district carried. They have seven congressional districts this year. So, you get all 25 only if you carry all the CDs.
