You will NOT be alone my friend. "They" will have a hard time getting "delegates" already selected to cast their votes in most of those directions.

I have known for years that to insist on holding both Iowa and New Hampshire caucuses/primaries unfairly skews the primaries of the states as neither of these two states is representative of the 48 other states, Iowa open caucus and New Hampshire open primary where democrats can cross the line and vote the GOP ticket but even then, they do not represent the 48 other states.

If blacks cared to make a point, they are definitely disproportionately misrepresented in both states, where especially in New Hampshire, one could travel from town to town and never see a black person. In Iowa, when much of the state is farming, it is rare to find blacks except for the university communities and the state capitol where government workers enjoy a much higher representation of minorities.

But, back to your point, GOP delegates are pledged to follow the primary vote, which in many states are "winner take all" but a large percentage have been moved to the proportional votes.

In Kansas, for instance with four (4) districts, the delegates were divided in each district according to the largest vote tally, then distributed according to the total votes, or no winner take all.

Last time, with Mitt Romney becoming the final candidate, won no district at all in Kansas. The highest he came in any district was third!!!

Mitt didn't win in Iowa either yet the total count because of that winner take all rule, gave him the highest number of delegates.

The GOP continues to play those games and because of that and also because they are not about to allow the person most of the voters want, they rig the total by deciding that the delegate rich states go with the winner take all.

Except for that rule no way could John McCain ever have been elected as the primary winner, dittos, Bob Dole!!!
