This is the Republican Delegate Count

I'm going to try to keep track of the Republican delegate count. I'm choosing only the Republican race because the nominee for the Democrats is a foregone conclusion. There are other parties but they have a variety of methods for choosing their nomination.

Four years ago I tried to keep track myself and found it a daunting task. Different news organizations had different counts and I finally had to settle on one source. This year I'm choosing several sources and will keep track of what they report. Hopefully that will make it more accurate.

There are 2286 delegates who will vote in the convention this summer; that means the nominee needs 1144 to win.

	Newt Gingrich	Ron Paul	Mitt Romney	Rick Santorum
CBS News	29	15	100	44
CNN	38	27	127	37
New York Times	29	18	105	71
Tea Party Cheer	32	19	123	72
Wall Street Journal	32	19	123	72

As you can see it's not an easy answer keeping track of the delegates. As well as I can, I'll update the table after each primary. I won't keep track of candidates who drop out. If there are other outlets that also keep track of delegates, let me know.
