splain that please...
IIRC, the RNC rules forbid any state having an early primary (forgot the exact cutoff date, but it’s well after when FL held theirs) from awarding its delegates in an all-or-nothing fashion. In other words, to abide by standing RNC rules, FL has to apportion them proportionally, meaning Newt would get enough of them to still stay ahead of Romney in total delegate count.
Regarding the total delegate count:
Michael Steele explain the other evening that he was President of the RNC when the rule that NO ONE was to give delegates to winner take all before April 1
The current President wrote a letter, which he released to the press, that he had notified the state that they must award the delegates proportionately.
Newt, campaign chairman, Past AG of Florida has done the legal work to challenge the distribution, but it's not scheduled until a couple of days before the convention.
IMO it would behave the Rules Committee of the RNC to settle the situation ASAP. The media and Romney have created a meme....repetition of a (false) statement to make people believe it's true. If they await until close to the convention and the count is close, the committee will anger either side of the situation. If they decide now that embarrassment and further division of the party will be avoided.
So Please contact either by mail,phone or computer and urge them to decided sooner rather than later.
