What the hell is with Talbot County in Georgia, Rick Perry is third there and everyone there is voting for candidates who have already ended their race for the presidency...
Fundraising left a bit to be desired..
City of Danville, Virginia: 100% reporting: Ron Paul 2,942 Mitt Romney 500 WOW WOW WOW!
So 3 are going to Romney automatically, then we'll get a percentage of the 14 as long as we break 20%.Tuesday 6 March 2012: All 17 of Vermont's delegates to the Republican National Convention are bound to presidential contenders in today's Presidential Primary. [Rules of the Vermont Republican State Committee, Rule 11. i.]
The presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in the state's lone Congressional District is awarded the 3 National Convention District delegates. Since Vermont has but 1 Congressional District, this is effectively a statewide winner-take-all contest.
14 statewide (10 At-Large, 1 Bonus, plus 3 party leader) delegates to the Republican National Convention are bound to presidential contenders according to the statewide vote.
If one candidate receives 50% or more of the vote, that candidate receives all 14 statewide delegates.
Otherwise, the statewide delegates are proportionally bound to those candidates receiving at least 20% of the statewide vote. When rounding, if there is one too few delegates allocated, round the allocation up for the candidate with the most votes and for one too many, round down for the candidate with the least votes.
The party's rules do not specifically detail what is to happen should no candidate receives the requisite 20%.

The free market responded to the campaign's poor performance.
