[QUOTE="Gideon, post: 1821619, member: 7898"] It has nothing to do with vote totals. The votes we give only decide who delegates will vote for in the first round of voting at the convention for the presidential nomination. Even if Romney wins 100% of Oklahoma's vote in the primary, the delegates are only obligated to vote for him in the first round at the convention, and even then they can simply abstain from voting. If a candidate doesn't have enough delegate votes to win a vast majority outright on the first vote, then the field opens to LITERALLY anyone at all, even someone who hasn't even begun to campaign yet. The hope is that if Paul gets enough to abstain or be obligated by primary election votes to vote for him in the first round, Romney won't be able to win that round. At this point, all of those delegates can vote for whomever they wish, many of them will then switch to Paul. [/QUOTE]
