Thanks. That is interesting. One problem is that very few states have given a candidate 50 percent of the vote which could be why the delegates will be split a bit closer for the 3 placed candidates. I guess we will find out next Tuesday. Thank you for the information. I read it and hope they change the way they allocate delegates next round. I would like it to be win the state, win all the delegates. This reminds me of how “dumbed down” children’s sports have gotten where they have to give every competitor a prize instead of how it used to be where only the winner gets a prize. I believe that if you win the state, you get all the delegates. That is the way conservatives should feel.
Certain states are also getting many more delegates than you would think. If they were more valuable to the Republican candidate in the last election, then they get additional delegates.
There was a big mistake made in Virginia. Both Gingrich and Santorum should have spent money to help get votes to Ron Paul. In the last primary, there were 489,000 votes, but only 265,000 votes yesterday - a difference of 224,000. If Ron Paul could of gotten only 1/4 of those non-votes, he would have carried Virginia and Romney would have 10% fewer delegates.
