Thank you for the ping. I'm sure TitansAFC will ping Newt's List.
We all need to send a similar letter.

I just sent one. Told them to do the right thing. Fla held their primary early and though they gave up half their delegates to do so they never ammended it to allow for a winner take all primary. Newt earned his share of the delegates and this procedure is a slap in the face to his supporters. There was no waiver on the delegate issue included in their early vote. We expect more from the Republican Party.

LOL!
Florida Republicans have voted.
We have a closed primary system, and voter proof of ID laws.
My favorite candidate, Santorum, did not win. Romney did.
I am not happy with my fellow registered Republicans, but I am obviously not in tune with the majority of them.
I am glad that my state GOP decided to go early, and stop playing the stupid, useless games.

I will just say that, if GIngrich had won Florida, and Santorum was trying to get them to switch to proportional delegates, I doubt anybody here would be supporting the attempt.
I just wish Gingrich had brought this up the week before the election — it would have looked principled then, with him leading at that point. Now it just looks like trying to change the rules after the fact. Yes I know that there is an overriding rule, but that overriding rule also said they couldn’t have their primary in January.
They were punished for breaking the rules, and that punishment was agreed to. The candidates competed based on that agreement. If they do change, that will be great, just like it would have been great if the court had allowed Gingrich Perry and Santorum onto the ballot in Virginia.
But the time to protest the rules (or a failure to adhere to the rules) is before the contest, especially when you KNOW what the current agreement is. Everybody knew FLorida was going to do winner-takes-all, and it’s going to be hard now to argue to change it after the fact.
Still, as I said, I hope they change it, because that will help GIngrich and Santorum.

i think you meant to say, thumbed its nose (no apostrophe). or snubbed (without nose). the “nose” idiom does not work with snubbed. i agree with the sentiment, but might want it not to look ignoramus-ly.

Either way looks about equally Calvinball. But I thought that was the Democrats’ province. Since when has the GOP looked to the Rats for an example? About all this accelerated contest proved is that a sh*tstorm of lies makes a little drizzle of truth hard to see. (Romney had two orders of magnitude more ads, all pointed at Newt.) But the history of what happened will follow Romney around and mark him as an unscrupulous player. Whether or not Florida enters another round of Calvinball.
