In each of the 7 Congressional Districts are one or more caucus locations. I think 11 in all.
Each District will elect 15 delegates to the State Convention. These State Convention Delegates get to pick the Delegates to the National Convention.
Technically, all the delegates being selected are "Uncommitted" -- this means that, basically, at the RNC -- they can vote for whoever they want.
In practice, ALL the delegates have a preference - McCain, Mitt, etc...
We need to elect as many of our people in each District as we can. (15 is the max)
At that point, we'll know our voting strength at the State Convention.
When our people get together tonight, they should have an idea of how many of our delegates were elected, and therefore, where we placed -- and how many delegates RP is likely to earn at the State Convention...
There are a couple of wrinkles to this -- but that's basically it."
Since we are electing uncomitted delegates, you will not see the results in the media.
Our grassroots will have the results once we can compare the list of winning delegates to the Ron Paul delegates.
All I can tell you is that from what I saw in my district, and what I've heard in other districts, I wouldn't be surprised at a first place finish in terms of the delegates linked to todays caucus.
