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.”

Good news and potentially great news!

[livius]

Yes, and do recall that Gingrich is very good at these procedural moves (remember his stint as Speaker). I think he’s dusting off his old skills!

[Spunky]

It’s on Fox now with Sheppard Smith.

[World'sGoneInsane]

Good! That should take some wind out of Romney’s sails.

[GnL]

Interesting that we are just finding out about this rule now.

[trisham]

Wow! This could really be something.

[sand88]

I am afraid the powers that be will just ignore their own rules, when it benefits their selected candidate.

The MSM will just follow along, rail against Newt and call him a sore loser.

Still, if it's legally binding that the votes are to be allocated as written in the article, then Newt should get his proportion of the candidates. I hope he succeeds.

Somebody in the Romney campaign just said “Ooops!”

Or something like that.

[boomop1]

Romney just sh** a brick.

[pepsi_junkie]

After yesterdays turnout, I’m embarrassed to be in Fl. I went to three poll locations and I was the only one at all three.

So did you do your part and vote at all of them? :-)

[Tennessee Nana]

Oh noez

Willie Mitty waz robbed !!!

[shelterguy]

Newt is a fighter. We need someone like that. I will never vote for mitt.

[ReneeLynn]

Wow.

[Irish Eyes]

That sound you hear is heads all over DC exploding!!! Newt taking it to the establishment! Not sure yet, that it is smart, but you gotta say that the guy has cajones and is not afraid to take on his own party.

I think that it is smart. It is just a glimpse of Newt against the business as usual establishment

[tsowellfan]

Good idea troy!

[humblegunner]

Floridians traditionally have trouble with voting.

I dislike that we let little weenie states and obvious incompetents
take out candidates before the real PEOPLE get a say.

[Tennessee Nana]

God has a sense of humor

LOL

[traditional1]

Luv it!

I like the idea that Gingrich is now rolling up his sleeves, and the Establishment Elite are being attacked for what they are: Romney-the-RINO boosters!

Newt CLEARLY has a strong argument here, where the Party is held to its own rules (they used the Party Rules against Gingrich in VA to keep him off the ballot, so now it's their turn).

[Leep]

Ah hahaha..this makes my day...hahahha. Poor Willard can’t catch a break.

[sheikdetailfeather]

And that is why we picked a fighter. YAHOO!!!!
