A few things you may want to consider:
Michael Steele was on TV after Fl and said the rule changing distribution of delegates was passed during his tenure. That no exception was made for Florida in that rule. They must abide by the rule. Priebus wrote them a letter in FL saying they had to distribute the votes proportionately. Here is a copy of the rule.
Encourage them to do the RIGHT thing: end the FL fiasco NOW!
Play by RULE 15:B:2
ALSO: The AG of VA is looking into the person who Newt hired to collect signatures and fraudulently didn't complete the job. Newt turned him in for voter fraud.....It's not over particularly if it is determined that the action was done on purpose.
THIRD: Jon Huntsman is Willard's cousin. The Huntsman family fortune is intertwined in Bain/Romney. Huntsman was nothing more than a straw candidate who was in place to collect the ABR vote thus keeping it from other candidates. His two votes may be crucial in the final tally.
On this FL thing, you need to exercise caution.
What is the Constitutionality of the RNC dictating to a State when it can hold it’s primary/caucuses and how it allocates those delegates?
If the RNC is determined to have the authority to do this, then they have the authority to completely ignore every caucus/primary and select delegates by their own choosing in a manner that suits them. The RNC doesn’t like the slate of delegates sent to them by the states? Fine, they go and change them up in a manner that suits them.
I don’t believe the RNC has this kind of authority (thankfully) and that any state can hold it’s contest and allocate its delegates in a manner it sees fit. Personally, the states should file a lawsuit against the RNC because Rule 15 appears to violate equal protection and states rights. No one has ever done this though because the penalty is not severe (1/2 delegate slash isn’t all that, if there were all 100 delegates in FL, all it would do is raise the required number of delegates from 1,144 to 1,194.
He dealt with Florida pretty well. He said NM has the same “winner-take-all”, and Gingrich should win them, but if Newt successfully appeals Florida, the same rules would apply to NM, and it could only flip 3 delegates between the two states.
