Can anyone recommend a really good map or list for each state, and the delegate distribution?
Just about any of the news sites have maps; this is the link to MSNBC's:

What I find odd is that it seems that some states have their party primaries on different days?!?!?!?!?

Yes, but they rarely say State - Primary or Caucus - #Dem Delegates #Rep Delegates Winner take all/Congressional District/whatever.

I've explained how it's done in PA, and people are amazed.
