| MrBubbles said: cnn last night showed ron paul had 10 delegates and santorum had 8 delegates. this article said santorum had 14 and ron paul had 4. which is the correct number? |
Neither and both. Caucus states like Iowa don't hand out their delegates based on the vote, that's just the first stage, and there's all sorts of crazy voting and stuff that goes on, which takes months. The numbers are just different estimates by different firms based on how well they think the rest of the caucus will go.
There are other issues, too. Florida is a winner-takes-all state, however, the national GOP are trying to get them to hand out the delegates proportionally at the convention, I don't know how that will turn out... based on what's going on, though, I'm going to assume that Fla remains WTA.
