I didn't say, or imply, CA was winner take all. Many states aren't. Rudy, BTW, was polling ahead in NV last time I looked. AZ will go McCain. GA and AL will go Thompson. IL will go Rudy, easily. Don't know about AK and CO.

Also, are you sure you aren't counting in "super delegates?" I'm not certain on this, but my impression was that they were awarded differently than the regular delegates---later? Dunno. Otherwise, there is no way that PA has fewer delegates than AL or AK.

I'd have to check out the superdelegate award process to know.

PA, doesn't. But PA isn't until April 22, so I doubt it will figure. It'll be decided before that.

Republicans didn't use super delegates in 2004, and I can't find reference to them for this time. It appears that states are awarded bonus delegates depending on several factors dealing with party strength in the state. Solid red states are awarded more. I can find nothing that indicates that they are awarded at any other time than the primary in that state, except WY, which splits its delegates to two dates.
