There’s no unified results to the March 17th portion of the Missouri caucuses. In some counties, Romney-Paul delegates were slated. In some, Santorum delegates were slated. In St. Charles County, the police were called and the caucuses were cancelled without a vote. So I suspect that caucuses will not replace primaries for the nomination of party candidates in Missouri any time soon.
Perhaps they should have just moved the primary to March last fall when they had a chance. Instead of having the House and Senate refuse to do anything, holding a sparsely attended primary, and now holding a series of caucuses with more twists, Calvinball-esque rules, and nuances than you would expect from people calling themselves conservative.
By the way, we still have 2 caucuses left, Jackson County (where they’ll hold it in one place) and the city of St. Louis (where it could be held in a restaurant without any problems).
The Missouri caucus delegate leaderboard is
Chaos 167
Santorum 100
Romney 94
Rom-Paul 91
Ron Paul 87
Unity Republicans Who Aren’t Ron Paul 85
People United Against Recording Devices 71
Mass Hysteria 56
Newt Gingrich 12

Missouri GOP Chairman: Except for the arrests, the fraud, and Ron Paul, it was a pretty good day
