I thought any primaries before April 1 were supposed to be proportional, so how are any of those listed as winner-take-all?

The way the media explains the rules is always highly simplistic. There is not just proportional and winner-take-all. There are all kinds of weird rules. Two states that violated the rule of being pure statewide winner-take-all before a certain date were FL and AZ. Newt can challenge at the convention that those delegates should be assigned proportionally, and there was some article a few weeks ago from some kind of Republican party guy I think that said they probably would listen to the request, thereby reducing Mitt’s delegates.
