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.”

South Carolina wouldn't be included in that rule, would it?

Hopefully not

[fml]

former FL Ag and Newt supporter Bill McCollum— whom they name as the lead on this. The RNC has already acknowledged that it is Winner Take All. The only place and time that Gingrich campaign can bring this up is during the RNC’ s Committee on Contests hearing which congregates 2 weeks before the RNC Convention in Tampa in August or have enough RNC delegates on the floor to challenge it. They are playing this down as perplexing and almost desperate.

what would be REALLY funny is if they switched it to winner take all by county... since Gingrich won more counties :P

Thank you so much for posting that vivid reminder of the history of Florida elections. My husband and are are laughing so hard we are wiping tears!

In case you missed this.

In other words it’s Iowa all over again, where the MSM gives the win and bounce to the wrong guy. In this case they announced it’s a giant win for Romney when it’s not.

I love the smell of GOP-e fear...

I'm tellin' ya, Jim, GOP-e is good, but GOPee is a whole lot more accurate.

If Newt keeps barking like this, it could be a soggy campaign for the elites.

We were all praying and see what happened - answer to prayer.

I don’t mean to be a party-pooper here, but wasn’t SC a winner-take-all state?

[Anti-Hillary]

Santorum and Paul should join Newt.
