But while Paul loyalists will make up the majority of the Nevada delegation, Republican rules require the first vote at the national convention to reflect the results of the Feb. 4 caucus, which Romney easily won.

Just confirmed that RP supporters will NOT unbind.
There fore in round 1 it is 20 to Romney 8 to Paul.
In round 2, it is 22 Paul 6 Romney

it's within their rights to ABSTAIN from the first ballot, and all Ron Paul supporting delegates have agreed to do so

For clarity:
Ron Paul won 22 of 25 delegates, but Romney has a vote of 20-8 in the first round of voting at Tampa due to binding. In the second rouns all 22 of the Paul delegates can vote for Paul.
The word from the Conference is that an RNC lawyer attended the conference this morning and following that an official word came down from the Paul camp to tell the delegates NOT to put forward a motion to unbind. The motion never came up so it did not fail as such.
The delegates are still trying to understand what was said behind closed doors between the RNC lawyer and the Paul campaign.
As it stands Romney keeps his 20-8 in round 1. The win for Paul today in Nevada only comes into effect in round 2.

Incorrect. Those delegates can vote for Paul in round 1.
