Greta: Is the Florida Primary NOT OVER?????

"See below what I received from FNC Carl Cameron! This is really wild! More possible Florida election problems?"

Tampa, FL — Florida’s primary might not be over just yet.

The Newt Gingrich campaign is gearing up to challenge the results of the florida primary based on the Republican National Committee’s own rules which state that no contest can be winner take all prior to April 1, 2012. (See attached RNC memo.)

The Gingrich campaign plans to challenge Florida’s winner take all status & demand proportional allocation of delegates.

Fox News has learned that Thursday, a Florida Gingrich campaign official will begin the process of trying to have the RNC rules enforced so that the Sunshine State delegates are proportionately allocated.

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus warned Florida Republican Party Chairman Lenny Curry of the violation in a December letter quoting the rule, “…’winner-take-all’ states cannot hold a primary or caucus before April 1, 2012.”

Hope for the best. Hey, does anyone know if Palin actually officially came out and endorsed Newt yet? If not, does anyone know what she's waing for?

There was speculation for a while there that maybe Santorum and/or Paul would give up and endorse Newt. Looks like Santorum's in it for the long haul. That's too bad - I don't see how he can possibly win and he's helping Romney because a vote for Santorum is a vote for Romney. I wish more people here understood that.

The real problem is with canidiates who think they can “buy” a primary.

Thanks everyone. I understand the difference now between the 2 states. The funny thing is, I think the GOP did not want FL to move up the primary, so this is going to be interesting....

So do we know what the delegate count is right now and which states could reasonably carry Gingrich to a win?

Here is who God calls:

Daniel 4:17

This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

This is more like what the DNC ‘did to’ Hillary! in ‘08 with the MI delegates. They adopted a rule about ‘early primaries’ but when push came to shove, disregarded their own rules and gave the nomination to Obama. Who says there’s a difference between the two parties ?

my wife was living in ,MA when the state refused the voters to vote.

You or others will either have to do is move to swing states and help our cause like FL, CO or get the question on the ballot,.

We got the question pn the ballot here and let the voters decide , now FL is a hard state as you have to have over 60% unlike other states which is 50% but you know we did it in such a short time.

Once the people feel that their voice has been ignored and that marriage is now looked at as anything goes plus how the law could not say that little kids i schools are taught this then people say no way and vote to have marriage as between one man and one woman..

Massmike who is fighting this and could help you or the family research will help you to stop it and keep the question of marriage out until the voters decide.

I wish you luck and please if there is anything we can do here to help or give us all updates we’d be very grateful.

Good luck
