The rule was that a WTA couldnt schedule before a certain date. So Fl and Az had two options, become proportional or loose half their delegates. They chose to loose half their delegates. That was the punishment for staying WTA and going early, which is why Pa will have more delegates than Fl even though Fl has more people and is a stronger Republican state.

Trying to make Fl proportional would be changing the rules after the game, which was the Santorum argument in Mi. And even Romney said he didnt like the Mi Superdelegate vote.

Just remember, every media outlet spins things and will leave out something or distort something to further its goals. And that includes “The Right Scoop.” News today is very much “buyer beware.”

Thanks for the explanation. It was either/or but not both. I'm starting to believe that the contest may actually be a legitimate race in the first month. As though the party has it's pick from the beginning, but does give the peasants a wack at it for a few weeks. If no one strikes gold, then it's over, and they go with their original pick. I was thinking it was all momentum, but now I see a heavy handicap in favor of the party pick that kicks in early.
