Can anyone explain how CA hands out delegates this time around. Say after Romney ad bombs the state he gets 54% of the overall vote. Approximately how many delegates would he pick up?
Depends on whether he carries every Congressional district. Ad bombing all of California would be a huge waste of money, BTW. In the 2000 general election, Bush outspent Gore something like $10 million to $0, and still lost big.
The general election is a different beast entirely. But, the primaries lets just say CA voters even Republican aren't big on religious conservatives who want to take away your porn among other things. Four million in negative ads could hand Romney a majority at least in the primaries.
