Either we have a delegate system or we don’t. Set the rules and live by them. I’m tired of the Rino’s and others gaming the system. And people wonder why we have such bad government. It starts before anyone is elected.

Rules are for other people.

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."

Because The Narrative Cannot Survive A Rewrite

There's some speculation swirling in Michigan that our RINO governor (Rick Snyder) is a potential VP pick. The speculation is fueled by the fact that the Michigan delegation has received hotel assignments that traditionally go to the state of the VP choice (Only Mass. got better rooms). Romney's brother Scott is Mitt's campaign finance manager and good friends with Rick Snyder.

It actually makes good strategic sense for Romney. Snyder has a short but very good record here, however its only because he's signed good legislation handed to him by the legislature. Beyond what Snyder has signed, he's pro green energy, pro high speed rail, pro socialized medicine and was only nominated for governor due to crossover voters who made up nearly 40% of the voters in his primary.

“Either we have a delegate system or we don’t. Set the rules and live by them. I’m tired of the Rino’s and others gaming the system.”

The system was designed to be gamed. More power to Paul’s campaign for figuring out how to beat the Rinos at their own game.

I’m tired of having Romney pushed down my throat. For months, we’ve watched the media demolish every candidate who might be a challenge to Romney. Innuendos generated about Cain, belittling Santorum, lying about Newt...
