Republicans get three per state, Chairperson and two other party hacks.

Technically true, however, we have the equivalent of them; they're party members and key state officials....




....and you can be sure none of them will be voting for Ron Paul!

Well, yeah I understand the three that go...

The rules are set by the states and vary considerably. In DC, they are required to vote for the primary winner with the rest of the delegates.

Starks, why don't you just read my posts explaining all this with links to the actual rules?

Democracy is basically a minority rule. you should study the definitions of democrat and republican.
