	6 Comments: Can some knowledgeable person explain to me why CNN and RealClearPolitics do not agree on the delegate count? Is there fuzzy math involved? CNN counts likely delegates with 95% confidence and RCP counts only legally bound delegates or????

As I said months ago Mitt faces a northeast bias which is hard to overcome in a lot of voters minds. That said, 67% of SC voters were anti-MCain. If you count Hucj and Thompson out you have to wonder where they go. By Anonymous, at January 20, 2008 at 4:41 AM I think it has something to do with nevada delegates. I think the state RNC will assign the delegates, and will do so for the winner, but they dont have to. By Anonymous, at January 20, 2008 at 4:56 PM To explain the SC delegate count confusion. One thing to note is the manner in which delegates are assigned in SC GOP politics - it's winner take all in delegates by Congressional district. So, with McCain winning the SC 1,2, and 6 district and the Huckster winning 3,4,5 Districts (the more conservative Republican Districts), the delegates will be split. Huck may actually end up with more delegates but no one will know this until the state GOP convention this Spring. Unless McCain is the clear leader at that time, and Huckabee is still in the race, then the delegates will be assigned according to who won which District and usually the heavy GOP districts get more of the 24 delegates up for grabs. Given all of this, Romney looks like the real winner Saturday despite the spin of the MSM. KC in SC By Anonymous, at January 20, 2008 at 8:52 PM Everyone seems to have different delegate counts.
