The caucus votes don't necessarily determine which candidate will get the delegates. It is the caucus

attendees that stay to the bitter end and get themselves elected who ultimately determine which

candidate wins the delegates. The Ron Paul supporters are well organized and will get as many of their

people elected to go to the conventions as possible. I was a delegate for Nye County in Nevada in 2008

and saw this happen. We (Ron Paul) out numbered the other candidates at the state convention.

I don't know how the non-binding primary state delegates are selected.

yep, I stayed to the sweet end and saw to it that Ron Paul got 2 delegates out of 3 for our precinct. Surprisingly Rick Santorum polled really well amongst old-line Religious Republicans. They like his strong in your face we'll tell them the proper way to live and think message. Our precinct split 11 for Paul and 8 for Santorum 0 for the other two clowns. So it was only fair to allow 1 delegate for Santorum.
There were 3 young couples there who I'm pretty sure voted for Paul, but after the voting they picked up and left. I guess they don't understand the process.
