This graph shows the Republican delegate count for the primaries held for the presidential elections in 2012. Up until May 22, 1,568 delegates have been assigned so far; 717 still remain unassigned. Due to recent events, Rick Santorum has suspended his campaign for the Republican nominee. He was second in the race with 264 delegates earned. Since Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul both have only earned few delegates, Mitt Romney will probably be the Republican nominee.
