Winning Massachusetts (Rmoneys home turf):
41 total delegates
27 delegates decided at 9 district caucuses
Rmoney has the 14 delegates binding to the popular vote.
Ron Paul is winning the majority of the caucus delegates which will be finalized in June.
"Less than half of Romneys 27 chosen delegates won, and the losers included some notable Massachusetts Republicans - including Kerry Healey, the former lieutenant governor, and the House minority leader, Bradley H. Jones Jr., according to two Republican State Committee members who did not want to be named." (Boston Globe)
"Its also the latest instance of Ron Paul supporters aggressive delegate strategy at work, which throws an element of unpredictability into the convention process." (Washington Post)
