It isn't 'science' Cicero. It,s an estimate of course... But you already know that.
You would never know that reading the web pages you linked. None say estimate, and I think the WSJ actually reports that the delegates were chosen on the day of each states primary or caucus. As we are now finding out, that is a lie, there are still MANY delegates up for grab, and the states where delegates are bound to the straw vote winner are only bound for the first ballot.
Ron Paul supporters are taking over state GOP chairmanships and the media still reports as if Ron Paul doesn't exist. The non reporting of Ron Paul could put the final nail in the MSM's coffin. That is why the ruling establishment(Corporate/Government) is scrambling to find a way to control the content on the internet. The media lies, biases, and non-reporting are too easily exposed. That's not good when trying to maintain control of the masses.

Yadda yadda yadda... Or... The estimates are fairly accurate.

RealClearPolitics ~ Feb 8, 2012 Santorum Wins Colorado, Minnesota, Missouri
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A resurgent Rick Santorum won Minnesota's Republican presidential caucuses with ease Tuesday night and was declared the victor in Colorado as well, a stunning sweep that raised fresh questions about front-runner Mitt Romney's appeal among the ardent conservatives at the core of the party's political base.....
There were 37 Republican National Convention delegates at stake in Minnesota and 33 more in Colorado, and together, they accounted for the largest one-day combined total so far in the race for the GOP nomination.
The victories were the first for Santorum since he eked out a 34-vote win in the lead-off Iowa caucuses a month ago, and he reveled in the moment. "I don't stand here to be the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. I stand here to be the conservative alternative to Barack Obama," he told his supporters. http://www.realclearpolitics.c.....missouri_113058.html

Ron Paul Wins Minnesota Delegates by a Landslide
A few weeks back, when Rick Santorum was arguing that he could power out delegate wins by organizing the little-noticed state conventions and caucuses, I agreed with him. And then Santorum quit. This left the state delegate pool hot and panting for Romneymentum, right?
Not quite yet. Over the weekend, Minnesota held congressional district conventions. Now, the state's February caucus -- one of the trio of non-binding contests Santorum won early that month -- went 45 percent for Santorum, 27 percent for Paul, and only 17 percent for Romney. The Associated Press and other groups went on to estimate that Santorum would win 17 of Minnesota's delegates, Paul would win 10, and Romney 6. Wrong. Ron Paul dominated the CD conventions. According to a tweet from RNC committeewoman Pat Anderson, Paul took 20 of the 24 delegates available in the CDs. http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2012/04/23/ron_paul_wins_minnesota_delegates_by_a_landslide.html
On Old Dude, Treated Like A Rock Star? Is that really what it takes to win an election???
Check out this crowd!

But did you really look at the crowds? The first four or five rows of people look like their grieving, with a little coaching at 23 seconds in by the guy on the right. Then look at the crowd behind the first rows, people are stone faced no matter what part of the video you look at.
Interesting.
And just something that you would compare a dictator to Ron Paul
Have you ever seen the movie the Bronx tale ? C's father says to C about Sonny, people don't love him they fear him.
Box Yup large crowd for the "funeral" But did you really look at the crowds?

So what you're saying is that some crowds are contrived, not valid, or not representative of the general population... We agree.

Yes sadly some are made to go to events and made to act emotional.
But then you have a candidate for freedom and liberty and it's standing room only
Standing room only... often associated with Rock Stars and their groupies. Apparently, RP's Standing Room Only crowds are not also voters... RP loses almost every primary.

A good way to test your theory that large RP crowds actually mean large RP support will be in the June 5th California Republican Primary. If large crowds hanging out in trees is an actual indicator of Large RP support, Paul should win by a landslide. If not... the large RP crowds are irrelevant to the election.

I have to chuckle every time I read you calling Ron Paul supporters groupies Box...........funny stuff coming from a guy who may be the biggest Obama groupie on the planet....or do you have another name for it.....almost as funny as the guy claiming Nixon to be some sort of savior...............keep it up though, it gives me my daily dose of humor

Ron Paul Groupies are very much like Rock Star groupies in many ways. They ignore the facts and believe with out question everything uttered by their GOD Ron Paul.
I am an Obama supporter... not that I have much choice. I've never gone to a Obama meeting, rally or fund raiser. If you are an American who supports the working man, supports Choice, supports freedom, supports equality... Who can you vote for??? None of the GOP clones offer any of those options. Not RP.
I remember what it was like in the prosperous Clinton years, and I vividly remember the Bush Economic Meltdown.
I support Obama against the GOP clones, but in many ways Obama is not my ideal candidate. I have no option other than Obama.
