What is interesting is that this time around, with so many states moving their GOP primaries to earlier dates, and thus losing half their delegates because of it - it really changes the map when it comes to how important certain contests are.

But how many of the penalisable states are before the date?
Are there more or less States going to take penalties than in 2008?
It changes some contests on the map in terms of importance, but is it really a major change or a even a bigger change than last time.
