1. No, the Republicans use winner take all. Dems don't.

2. No, proportional
The proportion depends on the difference in votes between the two

3. No. Lol. None of the Democratic Primaries are winner-take-all.

Proportional allocation based on precincts/districts.

5. NO
It's roughly proportional to the relative number of votes each gets.


Therefore Clinton could actually win by a small margin, and the result would be to help Obama.


Hilary must not only win, but win big if Pennsylvania is going to help her.

8. Another example of an Obama supporter being condecending.
They take after their old man/leader.
