In my experience, the caucus system does more to skew the results in the frontrunners favor, marginalizing all other candidates.
In my Minneapolis precinct, Ron Paul was roughly tied with Romney in the precinct straw poll (Huckabee and McCain had very few supporters) but due to the way delegates are chosen Romney received a vast majority of the delegates. If anything, that tells me that Paul is underrepresented by his delegate count in caucus states, to say nothing of winner take all primary states. The primary system is screwed up, but then again so is the entire two party system.
