Kelley Falling Behind
The delegate counts in the gubernatorial race are of some dispute, but Checks and Balances is reporting surprising new numbers.
C&B's numbers are Hatch 207.5, Lourey 203, Kelley 117.
It doesn't appear that Lourey's support runs so much more strongly than Kelley's, so either Kelley's delegate strategy is weak (C&B's position) or the numbers are bad. I'm expecting to hear someone, probably MNCR, argue the latter. Two things are clear; if accurate, this count is a disaster for the Kelley campaign, which has promised to abide by the endorsement, and a boon for the Lourey campaign, which appears to have a strong shot at beating Hatch for the endorsement.
Bumped from the comments:
MNCR:
...The reason C&B can't report Kelley's numbers is because the Kelley campaign wouldn't give them to Shawn Towle. They flat out refused. Towle wants to be a journalist, and wants C&B to be a primary source for solid information, but will not submit his work to peer review and will not admit when there are holes in his data or bias in his views.

If checksandbalances, aka Shawn Towle, were the least bit credible comments would be allowed to be posted on-line. C&B is a mushroom in the basement that only survives due to lack of light.
