A new official delegate count being kept by the Republican National Committee reveals that Newt Gingrich has won more "bound" delegates in the presidential primary than Rick Santorum.

Only to call it a "mistake" and declare he was 'really against it all along' (while denying a 20-year record of supporting it).
