For example, the committee agrees that some states that went for Romney jumped the line in the primary schedule, a violation of party rules. But RNC defenders shrug off other complaints, like that they undercut Santorum and Gingrich by formatting a delegate tracking list to pad Romneys tally, by forming a fundraising alliance this week with Romney and by highlighting a rule that would block an unlikely path to the nomination for Gingrich.
And its possible theyll be other clashes in the coming weeks, with the RNC signaling Thursday its opposition to a push by Santorum backers in Texas to alter the rules surrounding that states May 29 primary to help the former Pennsylvania Senator.
Critics of the RNCs handling of the primary are so sensitive to signs that the committee may be pulling for Romney that theyve even detected evidence of favoritism in the staff ties between his campaign and the RNC though some concede such speculation veers more toward conspiracy theory than legitimate concern.

I bet they see nothing wrong with Rick trying to stay relevant after making himself as irrelevant as one can be.
Santorum won 11 states. How many did Newt win? Oh, that’s right: one.
Rick will do what is right for Conservatives.
Newt is in this for his own self serving purposes and has become the greatest spoiler of the primary season.
He has as much chance of winning as my dog. Actually my dog has less baggage.
