Business Insider reports that although Ron Paul may have been third in votes at yesterday's Iowa GOP caucases, he may wind up first in delegates due to a strategy of having supporters stick around after the vote to make sure they were selected as county delegates — the first step towards being elected as a delegate to the Republican National Convention..
...Iowa's Republican caucuses are non-binding — they are technically just a straw poll, so once selected, delegates are free to vote for whichever presidential candidate they choose.
"Part of what we've been training the Ron Paul people to do is not to leave after the vote," Dan Godzich, a senior campaign advisor, told BI. "Stay and get elected to the conventions and get us those delegates."
