Delegates

Looking at Huckabee's delegate count for each state so far raises a few questions in me about how the election is going to play out from this point. First off, I see that he won in Louisiana primary with 69,665 votes but received no delegates from that state. I didn't even consider this as a possibility but apparently it is one. So where do all the delegates go, thats my question. I'll look that up later I guess. Secondly I see states like Oklahoma where only 6 delegates pledged to support Huckabee and even worse other states where only 1 delegate pledged to support Huckabee. This is odd to me because if I were a delegate I would reflect on the affect the number of delegates has on a candidate and would incorporate this through taking action and voting on the candidate that has a real chance of being elect. This raises worries for me because if there are really delegates who think like that then there is even less of a chance for delegates to pledge to support Huckabee in upcoming key states like Texas.
