9. Here's What Also Drives Me Nuts

No one is looking at the long term impact of the Popular Vote in primaries should matter argument.

Let's say that Texas has a favorite son candidate, and he's very conservative on all of the issues. That candidate can jack up his popular vote count in Texas alone, and he'd wipe out the other states. In addition, Repugs can cross over to the Dems in Southern and other conservative states, and voila! that candidate wins the nomination because it's a popular vote contest.
