Who's Leading The GOP Delegate Hunt? Huckabee Or Romney?

It depends on whether you consider Iowa's delegates, who technically haven't been chosen yet and who can change affiliations, if they want.

It is highly unlikely that it will come down to the wire based on delegate counts. The last time when a nominee was unknown right up until the Convention was what?? 1964 when Rockefeller and the East Coast Republicans battled Goldwater?

Since they are likely to be irrelevant, the nuances of the "delegate count" are best kept as just a measure of the "horse race" until it is obvious who is the winner - then the money dries up for the other candidates and we have the two finalists by May. In other years, by February.
