Romney paid a lot for his Michigan delegates. I think, though, that this one is going to be his most expensive.

Romney has cheated his way from Iowa.
And the malicious GOP Establishment is in orgasm.

One delegate shouldn’t make or break Santorum, so it’s the principle of the thing. It does present a two point spread gifted to Romney, when they should have broken even.

Truly bad form here Muichigan GOP.

What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world but lose his soul?

But for 2 lousy delegates, Mitt?? It might have been worth it for Wales (A Man for All Seasons, trial scene), but for 2 lousy delegates, Mittens?

The political parties are corrupted. Even when they win they lose.

Why bother voting?

The call was made...change it until the predetermined result is a fact

Unbelievable

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."

We need to make a big deal out of this! They’re counting on it being a non-issue since Romney got the popular vote but are they going to just “change the rules” in the general too?

Don’t let them set the precedent. Get this on the talk shows and make it headlines in conservative media.

Its no coincidence that the Michigan GOP logo resembles the Obama logo, their behavior is the same.

Romney is the dirtiest politician I have ever witnessed.

He makes me sick, and will never get my vote.

So glad I’ve been ignoring their phone calls. IF they ever call me again I’m going to give them an earful.

Romney's campaign along with the liberal republican establishment tried to steal the Iowa caucus' by stuffing the ballot boxes. They got caught and Santorum won Iowa. Michigan is a much bigger state and stuffing the ballot boxes wasn't enough so now they're simply changing the rules (after the fact) in a continuing attempt to shove their goon down our throats.

Shame on them.

I'm not a Santorum supporter by any stretch of the imagination but I am all for proving the liberal shill Romney defeatable.

Newt or bust.

bump and Arkansas Ping!

How do we make sure something like this doesn't happen in Arkansas, assuming the GOP E hasn't decided the race for us by then.
