"Is not making Virginia fatal to a campaign?"

Since the GOP decided to emulate the idiotic system the democrats use by allocating delegates proportional to votes, every primary state is important now, if the race is close. It isn't winner take all anymore. I wonder if the dumbasses decided to start using 'super delegates' too!

So terribly STUPID! One is supposed to LEARN from the mistakes of OTHERS. Not follow them!

It was winner-take-all that gave us John McCain. John McCain never won a majority of any Republican primary vote until he finally captured his home state, Arizona, and wrapped up the nomination.

Now that's what I'd call an "idiotic system".
