After a long wait, it will finally be Pennsylvania`s turn to vote in the Republican Primaries and unlike many previous election cycles, this time how the state votes could really affect the course of the race.
So the scene is set for a showdown between the remaining candidates on April 26, when voters from the Keystone State will go to the polls, alongside 4 other states, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Maryland. In Pennsylvania there are 71 delegates available.
Polls show Trump ahead a long way in the state, however 54 of the delegates elected in the state are officially unbound and as such are not obligated to pledge support to whoever wins the primary.

Conventionfacts.org New Website GOP Contested Convention
The GOP appears to be reading itself for a contested convention, a new site has been lauched in order to inform republicans of the rules that must be adhered to in case of a contested or brokered convention.
There is some doubt as to whether any one candidate will obtain the 1,237 delegates required in order to secure the nomination of the party and therefore it will have to be decided at the convention.
Currently Donald Trump is leading in the delegate count as we enter the last few months of voting.

Can Donald Trump win the Republican Nomination 2016 ?
Donald Trump, the real estate mogul that has tapped into an undercurrent of anger in republican voters who are disillusioned with the establishment, continues to dominate the race to become the party`s nominee.
On the third super Tuesday of the campaign Trump was victorious in 4 of 5 states, accumulating a large quantity of delegates.
It remains to be seen whether or not he will obtain the necessary 1,237 delegates in order to secure outright the nomination or if we will see a brokered convention.
As of today (March 17) the delegate counts are as follows
Donald Trump 673
Ted Cruz 411
John Kasich 143
What do you think? Can Trump obtain the 1,237 delegates that he needs or are we heading for a contested convention?
