2012 Republican Delegate Count: Some No Longer Super Supers

Chart from the Abulsme.com 2012 Republican Delegate Count Graphs page.

After a detailed examination of the rules, DCW determined that the super delegates from five states weren’t really as super as once thought, in that they will actually be bound by the elections in those states… so the declared opinions of those supers don’t matter any more. Net effect… 2 delegates that had previously been listed for Romney go away.

This of course is bad for Romney, good for everybody else (because at least in theory, those two delegates are now up for grabs). But really, it is a relatively small number of delegates, and doesn’t change the overall picture of the race on the eve of the Florida primary.
