Cute that you think the State GOPe is somehow independent of the national GOPe.
If the national GOP is in charge, why are there so many different ways that the delegates are awarded? Proportional, winner take all, winner take most, conventions, "loopback" elections - I know the idea of an all-powerful national GOP manipulating things behind the scenes down to the local precinct level appeals to your birther, tinfoil hat conspiracist nature, but they have a lot less control at the state level than you think.
