Dude/dudette...you need to look at the actual numbers and the facts. Add up the delegate count. Read it and weep. I do.

Good evening.
Dude / Dudette,
You can’t seem to grasp that there is more to the process than the delegate count. How many delegates has Santorum lost because the media initially gave Iowa to Romney. How much momentum would Santorum have had if he had been reported as the winner that night instead of weeks later. Why do you think states fight over moving their primary dates. If the only thing that mattered was the number of delegates, then Iowa and New Hampshire wouldn’t be fighting like mad hornets to keep Florida and other states from moving up their dates and depriving them of their positon which allows them to shape the contest. Newt blocking Santorum in Michigan and Ohio could have a huge difference in Wisconsin for example.
Using your logic the Iowa contest is no more important than the last primary. Surely this level of ignorance can’t be unintentional.
