For the candidates who have not received any delegates yet, which currently includes Rudy Giuliani, Duncan Hunter, Ron Paul and Fred Thompson, we have been using the candidates' ranking in national polls as the factor in deciding who to include, since the page is meant to be both a guide to both the completed contests and the upcoming races. The most recent Times/CBS News poll had Giuliani at 10%, Thompson at 8% and Paul at 5%. Other polls show similar trends -- see: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/republican_presidential_nomination-192.html If Ron Paul pulls ahead of Thompson or Giuliani in the delegate count, he'll be included on the page in place of them. It's also worth pointing out that Paul and the other candidates in the lower tiers are all included in the individual state. Regards, Robert Peterson NYTimes.com Customer Service www.nytimes./help
