is there a percentage threshold, and are delegates bound to candidates they are apportioned to ?

NC has only selected 39 delegates by district. Of the 39 there is only 1 declared Paul delegate, and two alternates. The preference primary determines how the Paul'ers are allotted for convention.
30 more delegates will be voted on at state convention. 3 of those are RNC members.
It looks like we will get 5 delegates in total, maybe 4. I'm not sure if the two alternates can "move up", or if the state party needs to hunt for people to stand in and vote for Paul.
Vernon Robinson from 5th district is ostensibly a McCain delegate, but I think he'd "flip" to be a Paul delegate.

Yah I'd imagine Vernon Robinson would switch his support to Paul if need be, he's already lost the Republican popularity contest by far

This is going to be an issue at Convention.
Stay tuned.
Robinson is a delegate from the 5th District. He's pledged McCain.
If we do get 3-4 to pick, we'll have to find Paul supporters that have been supporters of the NCGOP. This IS the time for deal making, otherwise we might get totally shut out with pledged Paul delegates who are actually McCain delegates. We DON'T want that happening.
We also have to find 9-10 Huckabee supporters that will support Huck.

Since Alan Keyes attempted to get the Constitution party nomination, would the state GOP strip away his whopping one delegate? That could make 3 unbound delegates to nominate. (Pat Buchanan ran on the Reform party ticket and the GOP welcomed him back... maybe it's not a big deal.)
I guess this is another question, that the "inner circle" of the executive board will face...
