The Difficulty of Determining Delegates

Because the popular vote has nothing whatsoever to do with delegate selection. It?s best to think of Tuesday?s GOP caucuses as two different votes with two different purposes. In one, Republicans voted for their favorite candidate for president. That?s the vote Mitt Romney won by a razor-thin margin, and it?s the result that will have the most practical significance on the campaign going forward. The winners get a boost in fundraising and media attention, while candidates who do poorly, like Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann, can get knocked out of the race. (If they could only manage 5 or 10 percent in Iowa, what would their chances be in the rest of the country?) The vote, however, has no direct impact on how many Iowa delegates will vote for any given candidate at the party?s national convention in August.
