10. Pledged delegates are one of the worst measures.
It is like playing a basketball game where 2 point shots give 2 to you, and 1 to your opponent, and 3 point shots give three to you and two to your opponent.

If you don't like the popular vote, then just use the same metric the contestants will play under in November... where 3 pointers are 3 pointers and 2 pointers are 2 pointers.

Put the states won on an Electoral College map, and if you are an Obama supporter, you will learn why I think some superdelegates are holding out. But do that only if you want to cry.
