AND though there are going to be some winner take all primaries, the following contests are also on the schedule:
RI (16) proportional
NY (92) proportional
WVA (28) proportional -- elect delegates (who list their presidential pick on ballot)
NC (52) proportional
OR (25) proportional
AK (33) proportional
KY (42) proportional
TX (155) proportional
CA (169) proportional (by district)
NM (20) proportional
SD (25) proportional
There there are the Contested delegates: . delegates have to be "uncontested" in order to count. The frontrunner's rivals argue some of the states that awarded Romney all of their delegates violated Republican National Committee rules when they moved their contests ahead of April 1 and therefore should distribute delegates proportionally. This dispute, if it continues, would not be ruled on until the August convention in Tampa.
"All the media counts right now give him all of Florida, which is against the rules, all of Arizona, which is against the rules, and all of Idaho," Gingrich said Monday. "Those are all three proportional states and they should only be counting his share. So he has to win 1,144 uncontested delegates."
FL: 50 delegates
ID: 32 delegates
AZ: 29 delegates
Yeah and....................
Anything Newt can do to raise Cain is warranted and what you have pointed out here may be just the right justification for it.
Unfortunately, Newt said he wanted a unified party, well I don't and many conservatives do not want to "unify" with these appeasing prix! If Romney is the nominee it will be alright as long as the party is in shambles and shook up so bad it can't continue as it stands now!
Can Santorum toss his delegates to Newt?
if so.. then we need to get to him and convince him
This is the problem, though - because the MSM and the GOP-E are basically running a nonstop campaign of “Romney’s already won it, so it’s already over,” people who don’t pay attention or think for themselves are just assuming this to be true and will vote accordingly. We’re already seeing this from some folks even here on FR.
