Republican Party presidential primaries, 2012

The mainstream media are not projecting many delegates for Ron Paul at the Republic National Convention. For example, CNN projected 9 for Ron Paul from Minnesota, but he has won 20 of the first 24 delegates assigned in that state.

There are reports from the ground that claim that Ron Paul has won, or is likely to win, considerably more delegates than these projections indicate. This table is an attempt to bring together these reports to give a more accurate picture of how many delegates Ron Paul is winning or likely to win.

Table of Results/Projections

State RNC Delegates To Be Assigned Later Total Delegates State Convention Date Reported Quotes

Minnesota 20 1 2 0 1 13 0 3 40 4 May [1][2]

Washington >21 10 30 3 43 31 May "RP has locked up at least half"[6]
North Dakota 2 20 6 0 0 0 0 0 28 [7]
Missouri 4 12 7 1 25 0 0 3 52 "Paul took 20 of the 40 delegates awarded"[8][9]
Alaska 6 8 8 2 3 0 0 0 27 "A Paul supporter was voted in as the new GOP chairman Saturday at the state convention"[10][11]
Nevada 28 "RP expected to win a big chunk of the RNC delegates at the state conventions later this spring"[12]
Colorado 0 (+13) 13 6 (+1) 0 14 0 0 3 36 "13 unpledged delegates, including me, will vote for Ron Paul. 1 for Santorum." [13]
Louisiana 17 0 3 0 1 5 0 3 26 2 June "Paul is guaranteed at least 17 of the 46 delegates to the convention"[14]
Pennsylvania 5 72 [15]
Rhode Island 4 19 [16]
Massachusetts 41 June "Less than half of Romney’s 27 chosen delegates won"[17]

Note: pink denotes a relatively high level of confidence in the projection, but even these are technically "unpledged" in many cases.
