Greta: Is the Florida Primary NOT OVER?????

"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.”

it always looked like a large gathering for a John Lennon look alike contest.

I'd like to see a video of some guy yelling at a bunch of those stoners

..."Hey bastards!...John Lennon loved Reagan"

...and see their reactions.

Actually, this doesn’t surprise me at all. Missouri tried the same stunt and got the same warning. If you look at the list posted the other day you will notice Missouri has a primary AND a caucus. We’d scheduled the primary too early so also had to schedule a causus later. Now, when we go out to vote in our primary it means nothing. The caucus will do the deciding and the heck to what the primary results were.

agree, Newt needs now to talk about obamacare, in some states like the south homosexual agenda, planned parents hood in all states obamacare, Romneycare, debt in MA, spending in MA, running to the left of Kennedy and was a Dem after other big issues.

Dad just asked if they would be distributed by total votes or counties as in SC. Newt won more counties than Mitt.

Holy cow! Happy April Fool's Day, Mittens!

“Newt CLEARLY has a strong argument here, where the Party is held to its own rules “

Newt has read Saul Alinsky!

yes, maybe Newt is throwing down the challenge in case they try that. Either way, smart move, plus shows he ain’t rolling over.

From an article I just read on how the delegates are awarded.

"South Carolina Republicans awarded 11 delegates to the statewide winner and two delegates to the candidate who got the most votes in each of the state's seven congressional districts. Gingrich was the statewide winner and he won at least six congressional districts."

I can see Team Romney try to fight for the other 49 too, so perhaps a calculated move in case they try to say some FL voters are disenfranchised IF they don’t get all 99 of their delegates. Didn’t something like this happen in FL with the Dem’s in ‘08?
