However, this race is so tight nationally that any system other than a winner take all system would still be just as tight.
Two examples of how a state-wide proportional system would match the current system :
Iowa
Obama 38%
Edwards 30%
Clinton 29%
Current system
Obama 16 delegates
Edwards 14 delegates
Clinton 15 delegates
Statewide system
Obama 17
Edwards 14
Clinton 13
Richardson 1
South Carolina
Obama 55%
Clinton 27%
Edwards 18%
Current system
Obama 25 delegates
Clinton 12 delegates
Edwards 8 delegates
Statewide system
Obama 25
Clinton 12
Edwards 8
