The Corner on National Review Online: Count Delegates [David Freddoso]

"While I'm at it, let me make a note about those Iowa delegates that people supposedly won. They did not win them. In fact, in the Republican caucuses (in contrast to the Democrats), there is no relationship between the vote count on caucus night and the allegiance of the precinct delegates who are sent to the March 15 county conventions. The vote count you saw from that night is totally non-binding and comes in a secret ballot. The delegates are elected afterward, when many of the caucus-goers have left."
