UPDATED (2/13): Delegate Counts
UPDATED 2/13: Sorry for the delay, folks. I was pretty sick last week. You’ll notice I’m completely leaving the Missouri primary out of delegate counts. Why, when the media made such a huge fuss about Santorum’s win there? Because it is totally non-binding. Missouri actually picks its delegates in caucuses on March 17.
For all the talk this season about the Republican presidential primary season, one thing keeps getting overlooked: it takes delegates to lock up a first ballot nomination. A lot of delegates. 1,144 of them, in fact.
In fact, the total number of delegates up for grabs through January 31 is 115, or only 5.1% of the total. So ignore the press when they tell you anyone can wrap up the nomination before Super Tuesday – Republican Party leaders intentionally set up the primary season to be a drawn out affair. And that’s exactly what they’re getting.
Below, is a basic chart showing the total number of delegates up for grabs by state and the total number each candidate has won. I’ll update this after each contest.
