Ron Paul: Texas Republican Primary
http://ping.fm/zg3TA
This article analyzes Republican primaries in Texas, to be held on May 29, 2012, along with two other large states, California and New Jersey. Texas has 155 delegates, while California has 172 and new jersey has 50 delegates, for the grab. Texas has an open primary, which favors Ron Paul, because he has lots of support from independent voters, critically important for any major party to win general elections. Candidates receive a number of delegates, which is proportional to the votes they get. This does not favor Ron Paul, if he wins, because, he is lagging behind in race for delegates, so far.
