It is clearly a 'we like this guy a little more then you but here is some support also', you score delegates you 'win a little less then the other guy', you score -zero- you lose. which is what all the others will get out of Florida -zero- when Romney wins and takes all 57 Delegates, that a win/lose primary. scoring delegates and coming in second in Iowa and New Hampshire can be loosely described as “two embarrassing defeats “, very loosely.
