In Delegate Race, Romney's Victories Amount To Less Than Meets The Eye

by S.V. Dáte

excerpts

  • As improbable as it might seem, the combination of Michigan's delegate allocation rule and Arizona's rule-violating winner-take-all contest could mean that Romney's twin victories provide him little ultimate benefit — and highlight again the dual-track GOP primary campaign season. [emphasis mine]
  • And then there is Arizona. That state advertised a winner-take-all primary and awarded its 29 delegates to Romney. But that format violates the Republican National Committee prohibition against such events prior to April 1.
  • So Arizona is in the same boat as Florida, which also awarded its 50 delegates winner take all (also to Romney) on Jan. 31.
  • both states' delegates could be reallocated by the Committee on Contests
