Newt Gingrich is seeking pledge delegates and unpledged delegates - that haven't committed in primaries - including upcoming PA (72), and already completed MT (26) and IL (69) delegates, since these delegates remain unpledged regardless of primary vote.

AND though there are going to be some “winner take all” primaries, the following contests are also on the schedule:

RI (16) proportional
NY (92) proportional
WVA (28) proportional -- elect delegates (who list their presidential pick on ballot)
NC (52) proportional
OR (25) proportional
AK (33) proportional
KY (42) proportional
TX (155) proportional
CA (169) proportional (by district)
NM (20) proportional
SD (25) proportional

The Green Papers

There there are the Contested delegates: …. “delegates have to be "uncontested" in order to count. The frontrunner's rivals argue some of the states that awarded Romney all of their delegates violated Republican National Committee rules when they moved their contests ahead of April 1 and therefore should distribute delegates proportionally. This dispute, if it continues, would not be ruled on until the August convention in Tampa.

"All the media counts right now give him all of Florida, which is against the rules, all of Arizona, which is against the rules, and all of Idaho," Gingrich said Monday. "Those are all three proportional states and they should only be counting his share. So he has to win 1,144 uncontested delegates."

FL: 50 delegates
ID: 32 delegates
AZ: 29 delegates

I meant to comment on this last night when you posted it on another thread. I think this is where Newt and conservatives have to take the fight. It looks as though Romney would take this, but that is not the point! We have to do something as conservative to bring this GOPe house down and a perfect place to start is at the convention in Tampa!

Anything Newt can do to raise Cain is warranted and what you have pointed out here may be just the right justification for it.

Unfortunately, Newt said he wanted a unified party, well I don't and many conservatives do not want to "unify" with these appeasing prix! If Romney is the nominee it will be alright as long as the party is in shambles and shook up so bad it can't continue as it stands now!

This is the problem, though - because the MSM and the GOP-E are basically running a nonstop campaign of “Romney’s already won it, so it’s already over,” people who don’t pay attention or think for themselves are just assuming this to be true and will vote accordingly. We’re already seeing this from some folks even here on FR.
