Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) will also likely be a significant factor,
1) Lol, they act like it's so important for Romney to win. Are they a source of news, or part of Romney's campaign?
2) Ron Paul is polling HIGHER than Romney.

Here's something important I found in the above article:
"The new RNC rules have also shifted some states to a more proportional awarding of delegates, making the process similar to the Democratic model. The largest state to vote on Super Tuesday is Texas, which awards 155 delegates -- but Texas has chosen to award its delegates proportionally. So a few candidates, not just one, could reap healthy delegate yields in the Lone Star state"

I like the concept of proportional awarding of delegates. I believe that this will help Ron Paul a lot since he's likely to come in second in many states. I wish they'd do this in California.

If one candidate wins several large states, he's likely to get the nomination. However, if delegates are issued proportionally, the candidate who's most evenly popular across most states will instead win. I think it's more fair that way.

Do you guys know of any other states doing this?

I'm not sure. It might help, He did come in second in a bunch. But he won't GET all the delegates for caucus states, either.

the UNION LEADER endorsement of Newt over Mitt sinks Mitt as it inflates Newt's EGO...

did they do this to elongate the N.H. primary??? had they as a paper backed Ron Paul...

Mitt almost had a solid win, in November of 2o12. Mitt's opinion of DJT has had its flipflops. Pop the gourmet popcorn.
