From Jon Ralston in Nevada:
BREAKING: Paul supporters take 22 of 25 available national delegate slots for Nevada. (Romney won caucus in landslide). #nvgop #RNCpanic

Ralson also notes that Ron Paul’s delegates will be obliged to vote for Romney on the first ballot in Tampa.
Actual proportions of delgates should have been 20-8 for Romney. Paul folks obligated to vote for Romney on 1st Tampa ballot, but… #nvgop

The Paul campaign has been making a big showing at state conventionsa round the country recently as part of a larger national effort to influence the Republican Party platform and even nominate Ron Paul from the convention floor in Tampa.
