The super-delegates are pledged to the winner of the state.

But I'm glad you find this sham democracy "beautiful." I'm sure the Republican base will as well when they don't turn out for your boy in November.

I think Rick and Mitt would govern about the same as presidents. They'd appoint the same SCOTUS judges. They'd both be as dangerously belligerent towards Iran. If anything Rick Santorum might be willing to more often stand up to the Tea Party Congress, just because he actually has values and beliefs and potentially has some vague understanding of what it's like to worry about making ends meet deep down in him.

Guam is 0.05% of the U.S. population though.

Delegates, not population.

Yes that's literally the point I was making. There is a discrepancy between the two.

Apparently Romney has not sent anyone to speak for him in Wichita, which is not going over well...

Santorum seems to be doing slightly better in the eastern Kansas counties than in the western ones (above 50% and forcing both Romney/Gingrich below 20%). We'll see how things turn out. Keep in mind that the Wichita CD was Huckabee's best in 2008, even better than the big rural district in the west.

Wait what. So if only Santorum is over 20% then everyone gets delegates? What kind of bullsh*t is this?!

Santorum is cleaning up in eastern Kansas.

Yeah, Gingrich is doing a lot worse there and Santorum is making it up.

Goddamnit, Santorum is going to do so well that he makes it completely proportional. Republican delegate allocation is so completely stupid and nonsensical.

Riley County just came in, Romney did well there (though still lost it).

Yeah the percent reporting is based on counties, not precincts. So we're really only at 40-50% or so.

I assume Gingrich's relative strength in western Kansas can be attributed to the fact that they likely do not have the internet there and still think he's the anti-Romney flavor of the month.

And it looks like Santorum wins all 4 districts then, right?

I think there's a decent chance of that. Not really any great counties left for him.

It would have probably been ever so slightly better for Romney to get just under 20%, if only to fracture the anti-Romney delegates. But it doesn't really change much either way.

I'm glad I stuck by my guns and didn't change my >50% prediction. It's an important two points that should hopefully give me some momentum going into the second half of the season.
