I'd like to look at a list of states showing which ones have closed primaries, which are winner take all, and how many delegates each has.
Florida is a closed primary. The Reps took half their delegates away and the Dems took all of them away. If it was an open primary, you can imagine how many democrats and independents would be choosing the Rep nominee. Florida is important for momentum and that's about it. Since Giuliani chose to make his stand there, it's a make or break state for him.
Texas is open, but truly a red state. I can't even make a guess how it will turn out. The question for me is who will be left by that time? Will Romney and McCain be all that's left by then?
