There are also all the delegates from caucus states that are completely free to do anything they want on the first ballot. Not sure what fraction that represents. Also, I believe in every delegation there are delegates like the senators, governor, party chairmen, etc who automatically go. I don't know if they are bound or free either.

Some states bind their delegates at the State Convention level------i.e. . all votes e.g. would go to xyz candidate. I see that as a possibiity in Virginia.-------if Paul does not take a significant number of delegates in the Primary in Virginia. Delegates could be bound to Romney. There are only 2 candidates on our ballot. This can get very complex---------- Is there a precedent from previous GOP National Conventions?
