But which right-minded, strategically-thinking state would ever give up the winner-takes-all system? Awarding delegates proportional to the popular vote seems fine, but anything other than winner-takes-all reduces the influence individual states wield on presidential elections.

Silly Maine.

I bet most candidates spend less time campaigning in Maine than in just about any other state. Why? Because they're practically guaranteed at least 40% of the state's delegates. Not bad for doing nothing.
