Please confirm if Iowa's delegates are pledged. Other sources are saying no:

Well, our observant friends, that's because unlike most states, Iowa's delegates are not awarded on the date the state votes. They are actually selected at the state convention in June, completing a process of winnowing out delegates that begins on Jan. 3.

Redlawsk, who used to teach at the University of Iowa and co-authored a book about the state's lead off status, said the Jan. 3 vote for president is essentially a "beauty contest" that has little connection to who the final delegates will give their vote. Iowa's value as a state contest has not, and never really will be, about delegates, he said.

"What's important about Iowa and New Hampshire is not actually what happens, it's a matter of how media focuses based on the results," Redlawsk said. "Its symbolic value is huge."

Redlawsk said Iowa's delegates are nominated at the precinct level, then further sorted at each level at the county and district conventions. Then, at the state convention the delegates from this pool are chosen to represent the state at the National Convention.

Hagle said that delegates are selected for different reasons, some of which have to do with what candidates they profess to support. Still, there is no law or rule binding these delegates to vote for a particular candidate. But since the race is usually decided by June, all of the delegates usually end up voting for the last- standing candidate.

That's because Iowa's Republican caucuses are non-binding — they are technically just a straw poll, so once selected, delegates are free to vote for whichever presidential candidate they choose.

If they were unpledged, they wouldn't be supporting a candidate.

^^ can you pl summarise where we stand compared to the 'plan'? time for a project review

For those of you who do not think that we can win the nomination... I hope that you reconsider your position.

We are very strong going into South Carolina but more importantly, we are strong in terms of our organization in states where we can acquire delegates.

Remember, it only takes winning five states to be nominated at the convention. We can do this folks.

I don't understand the 5 states thing. Whoever gets the most delegates wins, so how do we win if we only get 5 states?

After Florida this thing looks like it is ours to win.

Louisiana, Nevada, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota are places we can WIN for sure. The media can't ignore a few wins before Super Tuesday.
