Rick Santorum, Ron Paul On Track To Get Most Of Iowa's Delegates - Jon Ward, Huffington Post:
March 15, 2012 - "Rep. Paul (R-Texas) is currently estimated by The Associated Press to have zero delegates in Iowa. The AP numbers give former Sen. Santorum (R-Pa.) 13 delegates and former Massachusetts Gov. Romney 12. But Iowa Republican operatives scoffed at the AP figure.
"'Can I just be bold and tell you that they don't know what they're talking about,' Steve Scheffler, one of the state's three Republican National Committee members, told The Huffington Post. 'Our delegates are not tied to the percentages of who got what in the straw poll'....
"Santorum, banking on the fact that delegates are not 'bound' by rule or law in Iowa to vote for any presidential candidate ... has predicted he'll win the 'overwhelming majority' of Iowa's 28 delegates. But as he is likely to find out in many caucus states, Santorum faces a roadblock: Paul's passionate and organized supporters....
"'They're going to be feisty and they're going to fight,' said Craig Robinson, a former state GOP official.... 'I think that Santorum will get the delegates he should get but I think Ron Paul will get way more delegates than he should get,' Robinson said, adding that he worries that Paul could potentially give Iowa a black eye by winning the most delegates."
