I thought California was WTA by congressional district? Maybe I don’t understand what that means. What does that mean?

Let me check up on that one.

You were so right!

Those paying attention may have caught the media stating how the Republican Party has moved away from a winner-take-all process for the 2012 Primary Elections. A more accurate statement is that the party has moved away from a statewide winner-take-all process. Instead, the Republicans have moved primary races towards either a statewide proportionate winner or a winner-take-all by congressional district, a scheme which usually still awards a few delegates to the broader statewide winner. And if you weren’t confused yet, just for fun, there are a few other states with some combination of both.

This makes it even more impossible for Mitt Romney to win outright.

I was under the assumption that California, with it's 169 delegates, was a STATE-WIDE Winner-Take-All primary, IT IS NOT!

It is a Congressional District Winner-Take-All primary, effectively making it a proportional state.
