"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.”

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.

What involvement did the RNC have in that?

Tell the RNC there is no way in HELL you will vote for Romney. Lets tie up their phone lines.

What purpose would that serve?

Sounds open and shut...the rule is in place and even the RNC chair warned them it was a violation...now let's see if the Florida GOP will follow through or what the consequences would be if they don't...

Whoa. Just took a break from reading Cheney’s book, “In My Time,” at the point where they were dealing with the Florida fiasco...and here in real time is another one brewing!

Btw, Cheney has very nice things to say about Newt!

We battle not against flesh and blood, but evil.
(Yea, I know it sounds a bit to much.)
You are correct we are in a battle beyond what we can understand.
What I know for sure is that God does not necessarily call qualified men, He absolutely qualifies those He calls.

Big deal. The important factor now is not how the delegates are divided, but rather public perception and whether Newt can continue to raise funds.

I try to read “everything” but of course can’t, and there are other things in life besides sitting here reading FR, at least I’m told that is so.

I know...I have to change the cat box now and then, and I always miss something good.

Newt will be held responsible for the reelection of the disgusting person presently in the White House. Shame on this petty whiny man!

Yep, you told us first. Bret Baier’s panel said it’s nothing.

Well, we’ll see.

I really do not like newt... I have deep seething disdain for mitt. I will never vote for him under any circumstances. I could vote for newt. You are dead on... newt is one tough sumbich. He isn't my cup of tea but he can fight back. I think his handlers reigned him in and it hurt him badly.

If it goes the wrong way, Romney could end up getting 100 delegates from Florida.

How'd you figure that ?

Even if they throw all 100 delegates into play, Newt picks up 30+, Rombama 40+, and the other two split the change.

If the conniving bastards can be held to their own rules, this is a win/win, imho.

Paul, David....My tagline once read : David was an adulterer and God used him.

Thought folks were gonna tear my head off.

They weren't worth arguing with...obviously didn't know the Grace of His forgiveness.

Jim, Do you know if the Mormon teachings include Grace? From what I've read they think they're the chosen people.
Wish Jim would post an education thread with links to their doctrine....One that no one could comment on, but just learn from. I want to know more about White Horse for example. I also want to know more about Romney's responsibility as Bishop of a fourth of this country.
Think: He's a man of the cloth and all the false witnessing he's been doing.
