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.
