system for mitt romney, what rules do you think they changed to mitt romney s benefit? of course florida was moved up because it was a state that would help him, nevada and arizona were moved up because they were states with large lds population. it was proportional in the south, so that if romney pulls 20, 30% in the south, but because of his faith, a lot of evangelicals go do gingrich or santorum or would have gone to another candidate he still would get something. he wouldn t be shutout. in a winner take all, if he s shutout in the south he can t get the nomination because remember, the south is loaded for the in the gop because it often votes in the presidential election for gop so it s not just population in the south it s based how their voting patterns have been. there is a lot of delegates in the south. so in that sense it was gained and even the primary the system, the caucus sis tens were gained for him because it was felt he had the money and with the money
