Imagine the delegates that California, New York, Illinois and Colorado for example would send to such a convention.

Unlike a single winner-take-all vote from a leftist Senator from one of those states, you are pulling in state delegates from the rural parts of that state who trend more Conservative. The result is that the leftist vote from those states is diluted. On the flip side, amongst the Texas delegation there will no doubt be some lefty from Austin.

Oh? What's the process for that? Who chooses the delegates, and how?
