Its pretty bad when one of Mitt's own supporters (Former Mi AG, Mike Cox) Calls foul on the vote.


The Michigan Republican Party (MRP) Credentials Committee voted 4-2 last night to give Mitt Romney both of the state's at-large delegates, State Policy Committee Chair Mike Cox told MIRS today.

Cox was one of two "no" votes on the committee which met via telephone, along with attorney Eric Doster The "yes" votes included GOP National Committeeman Saul Anuzis, a Romney supporter, and MRP Chair Bobby Schostak.

That would put the delegate split at 16 for Romney and 14 for Rick Santorum, after each candidate won 14 delegates apiece in those divided by Michigan's 14 congressional districts.

As MIRS first reported on Wednesday, the MRP was delaying a final decision on the delegate split until after consulting with attorneys.

Cox said that according to the MRP rules, Santorum and Romney should each get one of Michigan's two at-large delegates based on their take of the popular vote.

"I supported Mitt, but the vote was clearly wrong," Cox said of the Credentials Committee. "It's kind of like Third World voting. We published rules and then we voted to change the rules."

Fox News quoted Larry Sabato who said the VA GOP fixed their primary to keep people off the ballot. That they favor Romney and that the powers that be in VA made it happen.

The fix was in from the start. The establishment has manipulated, and continues to manipulate the system to ensure a Romney victory.

Well, Romney also said he didnt think he should get both at large votes.
