There is no reason to allow a candidate the winner take all rule if that candidate can not clear the 50% +1 hurdle of the total vote cast.

Thus far Romney hasn’t even come close to doing that.

Megadittoes!

I would also restore the 67% threshold to be nominated.

The PURPOSE of the nominating process is to produce the strongest candidate, and in a situation where 49% or 40% even of the party can't live with the choice, the choice will fail.
