Right now, it's very important. I think Obama needs to win at least SC before Feb. 5th to remain competitive. After that, winning or losing a state will not make as much difference as the delegate count. None of the primaries and caucuses are winner take all. What will matter after Feb. 5th is the total delegate count, not who won what state.

3. In true Democratic fashion, we have all proportional delegations.
This makes what you say very important. Technically speaking, if candidate A won 47% in every state versus 45% for candidate B, they would have damn near equal delegate counts despite candidate B having lost every state.
