I was in a meeting in DC recently where a political scientist was explaining all the ins and outs of the California primary and the road to the nomination, for both parties. Goes to show what the "smart" people in Washington know! You are right, thank you.

If Romney wins a bunch of states or solidifies a good number of delegates...to keep it even, then we will see quite a race. It would give the GOP a chance to do what the Dems are doing now. Looking at only 2 candidates and considering which is best for the nation and party. Hmmmm interesting.

It is the best hope for a second place finisher to get a good number of delegates. If the district has 4 delegates, the candidate with 38% of the vote gets 2 delegates and the candidate with 62% gets 2. If it is a 3 or 5 delegate district then the majority winner gets the majority of delegates. Only in California could the minority speak as loudly as the majority. :) A numerical win is momentum and cause for other voters to take notice. A second place keeps you in the hunt and offers plenty of delegates. The California numbers are way too complicated to even try and guess.

By win I meant obtain the highest percentage of votes. You are correct Ann, CA is not winner take all. By win I meant obtain the highest percentage of votes.

No one is going to get all the delegates unless they get somewhere over a 60+% in every CD. Check your California rules.
