"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.”

The rules haven’t changed. Florida chose to move its primary up and ALSO wants to be winner take all.

You have to choose. Can’t have both.

Those were in place before the primary and you can have whatever you want (IMO) IF you decide before hand.

Rats are the ones that change the rules after the game starts, do we really want to go there?

Interesting point of view.
Ya left out all that Newt Gingrich DID get accomplished.

Then Left out that he was railroaded by EVERYONE (except a few) from both sides of the isle and conveniently left out the problem of no support. There was no Fox News, No internet network to give us the truth.

but hey, hang in there and fight your fight giving us the Liberal, Republican E’s point of view.
