If FL was penalized by half its delegates for going too early, why would they also be penalized for having winner-take-all? Can they be penalized twice under the rules?
Michael Steele said immediately after FL that the rules were passed under his presidency. There were no exceptions made for Florida or any other state.
The current President wrote a letter to the Florida GOP in December telling them that according to the rules the should distribute the delegates proportionately.
FL basically said to hell with you. We don't have to follow no stinkin rules.
SO it's being challenged. They have absolutely no grounds to do what they did.
Read the rules....They're at the link at the bottom of the t shirt.
