Whoever came up with this proportional plan should be drawn & quartered -- it seems designed to ensure just such a fustercluck as we've seen this year. For the love of all that is holy, next time let's have winner take all & primaries only (not caucuses).

Proportional would be fine (none / 0) (#8)

if there were no caucuses or delegates. Get rid of the weighted voting and just count votes. If you really wanted delegates to go to the convention, you could apportion them by popular vote and let the candidates assign by state.
