IIRC, in the past the Republican party weighted the delegates apportioned to a state based on whether the states electoral votes actually usually go to Republican party and/or whether the state has a Republican governor or US legislative representation. With two polar opposite wings in the Republican party, it's a tightrope walk to figure out how to choose a nominee. Obviously the system is broken considering the recently chosen aberrations. I'm firmly of the belief that it will take breaking the Republican party before this can be fixed. It will be ugly.
You are correct....http://projects.wsj.com/campaign2012/delegates
Fox News has had a problem for a long time. Being located in NYC skews their perception on many important issues. Come to think of it, Fox is a lot like the national Republican party. Neither know enough about the real values, or the importance of those values, of their base. I wonder who will discover it first and whether the other will be wise enough to see what’s happening. I hate to be cynical, but I doubt it.
Dear Chuck and his truck :)
..and the Duggars too!!!....and YOU!
God bless you all!
Rick Santorum is the one to beat Obama, not Romney.
Many conservatives would stay home in the General Election, if it’s Romney.
Let’s keep fighting harder to make Rick the nominee!
“It is estimated that the pro-Romney forces spent more than $3 million on advertising in Wisconsin, outspending Santorum and his super PAC by 4-to-1.”
Rick needs more money, for sure. I’m going to write a letter to the editor, telling why I support Rick, along with his website, www.ricksantorum.com - maybe it will get some conservative readers of the newspaper to send him $$.
Maybe other conservatives will join me, and write a letter to the editor of your own.
“I think it’s time for Rick and Newt to talk teamwork.”
Absolutely!
“Rick lost to Mittens here not because of the voters but because of the RNC.”
That’s another thing we can tell the RNC when they call us soliciting our money - We’re sick of the GOP establishment fixes in the various states.
A Republican presidential candidate hasn’t won an election, against a Democrat incumbent in 120 YEARS, EXCEPT FOR RONALD REAGAN, A CONSERVATIVE.
Thank you, Senator Santorum. There still is hope for conservatives. We won't give up quite yet, no matter what the MSM tells us to do.
