Puerto Rico and Illinois

[jimnyc]

First off, backtrack to Puerto Rico. A local man from their, also running for president, got more votes than Ron Paul. While Romney got about 99,000 votes - the old timer garnered less than 2,000 and got 1% of the vote. Had to toss that in there. This is one hell of a strategy from the great strategist!

Romney wins Illinois and will get the lions share of nearly 70 more delegates.

1144 delegates are needed to win and approximately 1197 are left after tonight. Do the math. Especially anyone who thinks RP is a great strategist.

I guess some want to ignore the numbers and act as if the great strategists still have a chance? Huntsman or Bachmann could win just one primary and overtake Ron Paul!! :laugh2:

How many delegates did Romney pick up last night, anyone know? And what is the current delegate count for each candidate?
