"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.”

I am glad Newt is playing tough. I am 100% behind Newt.
Works for me.
Go Newt!
Lord, help us.
Thank you Jim for the post!!!!!!!!!! This puts a smile on my face again!
School them Professor Gingrich - then throw a monkey in their wrench!
Fight on Newt, we’ll stand with you.
Tell the RNC there is no way in HELL you will vote for Romney. Lets tie up their phone lines.

Nice :)
COOL ! Never underestimate the NEWT !
LOL!
If not winner take all, I assume proportional. The delegates would be split between Mitt, Newt, Rick and Paul with the lion’s share to Romney. This is still much better for Newt than nothing.
I assume SC was proportional too?
Heh.
I’m not sure how easy it will be to bring suit against the Republican Establishment when the Republican Establishment is both judge and jury. But this could provide some VERY useful publicity, if nothing else.
The short version: RNC cheats.
Please let this pan out!
Anyone know what the new break-down of delegates would be if Newt prevails?

Newt Gingrich is looking to make history...
Again.
In December 1776, the future of America hung on the fate of a bedraggled army barely a step ahead of annihilation. When the British fleet arrived in New York, an American soldier marveled it was as if “all London was afloat.”
After several devastating defeats, his troops exhausted, Washington decided to cross the Delaware on Christmas and surprise the British in Trenton. If the raid backfired, the war was likely over, and he would be captured and killed.
Washington’s troops crossed the river that night, in flat-bottomed boats, tossed by ice floes and raging winds. Once on land, they marched nine miles to Trenton in a driving snowstorm. Washington considered calling it off, but he'd come too far.
Arriving at Trenton, the spirited troops surprised the British, and the battle ended quickly, 1000 British killed or captured, to two American combat deaths.
Washington followed with another victory at Princeton, and several after that. In the space of a few weeks, American troops irreversibly changed the dynamic of the war.
In other words, a moment in history when a few ALL-IN men changed the world.
Newt Gingrich is looking for ALL-IN men and women to stand up to the power brokers and playmakers in Washington, DC.
Join us today.
Great-they set their rules now let’s play hard ball to make them keep their rules in check. I think Newt can win this thing if he keeps focused and stops arguing with Romney about not being a conservative and so on- Stay on the topics, Newt. Let Mitt call you all kinds of names, the people out here can settle that part. Stay on the Issues where you are the best at. if someone speaks to Newt in high places, advise him to stop arguing with Mitt. They are doing this on purpose, Newt.
Correct, Newt has many skills and he won’t walk away from this, I love it. :-)
I think it’s a preemptive strike to keep the RNC from changing the rules again and awarding Romney ALL of the Florida delegates instead of the half that they were sanctioning them for changing their Primary date.
Haha. No, I got the runaround since I’ve moved 3 times in 2 years...
