So, has anyone been looking at the various states' delegate allocation methods? I did a little this morning, and unless I'm really missing something, it appears that unless Carson and Kasich drop out before Super Tuesday, this thing is pretty much over, and even if they do, it's not going to be easy for anyone to catch up to Trump. 35-25-25 type wins earn a surprisingly lopsided share of delegates in many places. For example, his 32.5-22.5-22.3 win last night appears that it will earn him somewhere in the 38-44 delegate range...out of 50. CNN's current delegate estimate is as follows...

Trump--61
Cruz--11
Rubio--10
Kasich--5
Bush--4
Carson--3

So Trump has won less than 1/3 of the votes far, but nearly 2/3 of the delegates.
