Comment: regarding lost delegates....

Massachusetts - Paul ended up with 11 delegates instead of 16. All voted for Romney because they had to. Regardless, only 5 were lost (I know 17 were lost at one time, but only half of those were delegates, and some got reinstated).

Oregon - No delegates were lost, only alternates. The Paul delegates voted for Romney because they were bound to him.

Maine - 10 were lost.

Louisiana - 10 were lost relative to what was considered to be won at the convention. It dropped from 27 to 17. 5 of the 17 were apparently bound to Romney, leading to the final vote of 12.

Oklahoma - It's hard to consider these lost because they were never won. There was just a hope that the GOP would recognize the alternate convention, but there wasn't much chance of that happening. There's an argument that 3 CD delegates were taken away. As for the rest at the state convention, not really.

Between MA, ME, OR, and LA, that's a total of 25. If you count OK (which I'd argue isn't really the same and shouldn't be counted), that would be another 25.
