thats not accurate. it makes assumptions with the delegates that arnt even realistic to begin with. a real delegate count is the number of confirmed delegates. that link is just speculation, incorrect speculation as well. the caucus states dont even nominate delegates until march and april. any caucus state shouldnt be added in until we know.

Yes, I know they are not official yet - this is the AP's best guess based on the vote totals.
Click on the "details" on the right side - where explanations are made.
I think it will turn out to be pretty accurate (I believe it has in the past).
Aside from that - do you have BETTER estimates?
If so, feel free to post them - otherwise this is what we've got.

I keep track of them myself and have the official count, minus Iowa, Colorado, Missouri, Minnesota, Maine.
its Romney 127, Gingrich 29, Santorum 18, paul 8, hunstman 2.

So you can't point to anywhere where they are listed - we just have to take your word for it? No offense, but if it's just your word - that's not very convincing. How about something to back that up?
Not looking good for Paul. The only candidate who is doing worse has dropped out.
136 delegates from caucus states(iowa, maine, minnesota, colorado), with a majority going to paul are going to get him a much higher number then that nyt article is showing.

i use thegreenpapers.com as a reference, as they have the detailed method for each state.
and I had a typo, Romney has 117 delegates, not 127.
2 proportionally in SC + 50 in Florida + 29 in Arizona + 7 proportionally in NH + 14 proportionally in NV + 15 proportionally in Michigan =117
again, this is excluding caucuses, since delegates arnt awarded until later on.

Paul can triple his delegates and he is still in bad shape.
