"See below what I received from FNC Carl Cameron! This is really wild! More possible Florida election problems?"

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.”

That was my understanding.....but I guess the RNC will make up the rules as it goes along. Like checking signatures with a fine tooth comb in Virginia to keep Newt off the ballot.

Go, Newt! How sweet would it be if Romney spent $17million to buy a state that isn’t even winner take all?

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.

Jimrob,

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. They were all run by hippies and people that looked like occupiers..

I hope Romney has to spend another $17,000,000 fighting to keep all the delegates, and then loses.
