Depends on if my guy wins or not.
Yesterday I was a proportional fan.
But in November I will be glad the big one is winner take all.

I like proportional representation.
 
 As the USA is a two party country it doesn't matter in the election but would work in the distribution of the Delegates.

Makes no difference to me, since my state only allows those represented by a major party to vote in primaries.  Being independent, I don't ghet to vote, so ....MOX NIX !

when it's winner take all, some folks vote don't count.

   Agreed, for those who can vote..proportional is the most equitable way.  "Winner take all"  sounds like a scheme dreamed up by a confirmed gambler.. ;) ;D

Florida is no longer winner-take-all since they moved up their primary.

correction...... fla did indeed award all to romney.  they lost half of their delegates when they moved up their primary.  the RNC was going to make them proportional but then decided that they couldn't punish them twice.
