I've said it before and I'll say it again. If the conservatives would spend the same energy getting the delegate allocation method changed as they do opposing the particular RINO flavor picked by big money, we could actually win.

Neither is the big problem the order of the primaries, the marathon structure or anything of the sort so much as it is the allocation of delegates.

A fairer system would award:

1. One fifth of the delegates based on electoral vote value.
   
2. One fifth of the delegates based on GOP congressmen, U.S. Senators, governor and control of state legislatures.
   
3. Three-fifths of the delegates based on the ability of the state to actually deliver electoral votes to the GOP presidential ticket in November.

   And, yes, Wyoming might actually end up with more delegates than Massachusetts under this formula. If it is unfair, then it is unfair to Wyoming, which has delivered 12 of 12 possible electoral votes to the GOP ticket over the last four election cycles whereas Massachusetts has deliverd exactly 0.

I might take it a step further. I would not necessarily mind going back to the idea of “brokered” conventions and smoke filled rooms-—as long as isn’t pot.
