“I’ve asked this several times today (and haven’t gotten an answer yet): are ANY of these states “winner take all” for either party?”


Texas Republican presidential delegates: ours are awareded by state senatorial district; if McCain wins in a state senatorial district, he gets those delegates; same with Huckabee.

Texas Democrats: 65% of delegates are awarded by state senatorial district. Then, they caucus by precinct at 7:15pm tonight and vote again for the presidential candidates and call their numbers into the Democrat county chairman who then calls the numbers in to the state Democrat Party and they use a formula to determine which candidate gets the 35%.

Yes, it’s a dumb Democrat way to do this, but they are dumb anyway, so what can you expect?

Alwaysconservative..

I’m not sure about OH, RI or VT.

Texas Republicans: http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P08/TX-R.phtml

Is winner take all by Congressional Disctrict and statewide provided the winner gets a majority. If no majority then it is proportional with a 20% threshold.

Texas Democrats: http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P08/TX-D.phtml

Is proportionaly by state senatorial district with a 15% threshold. The State senatorial districts are weighted for delegates based upon their support shown to the democratic candidate in the last election for gov. and president. In addition a precinct caucus is held tonight to begin the process of selecting delegates to their state convention which awards another group of delegates via this caucus route.

Other states: http://www.thegreenpapers.com

For other states go the above link, go down to about midpage and click on the desired state listed under the party where they are listing the delegate totals for each candidate....

Enjoy........
