An effort to shake up the GOP primary race is underway in the Lone Star State. The outcome could set the course for a brokered convention by keeping front-runner Mitt Romney from securing enough delegates to win the presidential nomination outright.
David Bellow, a member of the State Republican Executive Committee, told The Daily Caller that he believes there is enough support among committee members to call an emergency SREC meeting to vote on changing the state’s delegate allocation from a proportional to winner-take-all system.
I say it's time to beat them at their own game.

GO NEWT!
The problem is of course, that all the Mexicans, both legal and illegal will vote dim. We have a huge Mexican population in this state.
Time will tell, of course.
Santorum can't beat Romeny in Texas either.
The anti-Santorum contingent of the GOP is larger than the anti-Romney contingent.
How said the above is as commentary on the race.
Sadly its never going to happen, as the RNC has to approve the change.
Perfect graphic.
Considering that Florida went winner-take-all against GOP rules and the RNC did nothing to correct the numbers, I say, “Go for It Texas!”
good!!!!!!!!!!!
ANYONE BUT ROMNEY
I would love to see Gingrich/Santorum, which is more practical than Santorum/Gingrich (for 16 years of conservatism)
Considering that Florida went winner-take-all against GOP rules and the RNC did nothing to correct the numbers, I say, “Go for It Texas!”
*******************
Fair point, but the RNC operates pretty much as the DNC does at this endgame stage. The GOP nomenklatura will impose Bishop Willard on the two thirds of the base who distrust or dislike or detest him. Mark my words, they will NOT allow Texas what they allowed Florida.
We need to pray each and every day for good leaders in the WH and Congress!
I have faith in the Texans
“I have faith in the Texans”
So do I. The cheeseweasel, sweaty palmed frauds in the Beltway RNC are another matter entirely.
Sadly its never going to happen, as the RNC has to approve the change.
Probably won’t happen but those wanting the allocation method changed to WTA are lobbying and solicitating the members of the SREC for support. They most likely won’t call an emergency meeting unless they have the numbers to pass the WTA resolution.
Remember the FL WTA issue is still out there even after the 50% penalty. So far the RNC hasn’t done anything about it but a floor issue maybe raised at the National Convention. We’ll see.
You have no clue the disdain we Texans have for a “carpetbagging” SOB like Romney.
I agree. And it is funny to hear the Romulan CULT whining and crying about the possibility.
However, Texas has every right to change the rules. The keyy difference between Texas doing this and what the typical FRAUD pulled by Romney and the GOP establishment is thT THEY CHANGE THE RULES -AFTER- THE ELECTION IS HELD. There is NOTING underhanded about changing to “Winner take all” before the election is held.
I am so sick and disgusted with these intellectually indolent sheep who blithely follow this Elmer Gantry, “Wheels for Welfare”, socialist healthcare promulgating charlatan of a candidate.
Florida already lost 50% of RNC delegates for moving up the date of the primary.
“We can use the Alinskyites own tactics against them and win, or we can hold ourselves to our own book of rules as Alinskyites demand and lose.”
C’mon, since when is changing the rules in the middle of the game “Alinsky Tactics”?
It’s known as good lawyerin’.
“I am so sick and disgusted with these intellectually indolent sheep who blithely follow this Elmer Gantry, “Wheels for Welfare”, socialist healthcare promulgating charlatan of a candidate.”
It marks a permanent parting of ways, doesn’t it? It is surprising the frauds who are pushing this cannot see the consequences. 22 years of conservative obedience to voodoo Republicans is about to end.
