Romney won the MA Primary. Then they had a State Caucus to choose delegates. Don’t ask me why. The MA GOP Chairman mailed out the slate of ultra liberal, old guard candidates. When Conservatives saw that there was not one of the newly elected conservative State Committee, tea party etc members, that took over half of the committee seats in the March 6th Primary, they did what Conservatives always do when forced to vote against their principles, they stayed home and didn’t bring anybody in to vote for Romney, so thhe Ron Paul People mobilized and took over. Good for them! They just followed the rules. The GOP doesn’t like what happened and now they want to change the rules.

The GOP doesn’t like what happened and now they want to change the rules.

They're getting plenty of practice.

The Michigan Republican Party (MRP) Credentials Committee voted 4-2 last night to give Mitt Romney both of the state's at-large delegates, State Policy Committee Chair Mike Cox told MIRS today.

Cox was one of two "no" votes on the committee which met via telephone, along with attorney Eric Doster The "yes" votes included GOP National Committeeman Saul Anuzis, a Romney supporter, and MRP Chair Bobby Schostak.

That would put the delegate split at 16 for Romney and 14 for Rick Santorum, after each candidate won 14 delegates apiece in those divided by Michigan's 14 congressional districts.

As MIRS first reported on Wednesday, the MRP was delaying a final decision on the delegate split until after consulting with attorneys.

Cox said that according to the MRP rules, Santorum and Romney should each get one of Michigan's two at-large delegates based on their take of the popular vote.

"I supported Mitt, but the vote was clearly wrong," Cox said of the Credentials Committee. "It's kind of like Third World voting. We published rules and then we voted to change the rules."
