I'm sure it makes no difference because these rules are what the insiders decide they are at any given moment, so pretending there are rules in this game is just that, pretending. It's like the MI split of the last 2 delegates that suddenly both went to Romney, or his win in IA.

I'm being told by some morons that the after the vote rule change in Michigan is just a desperate pro Santorum conspiracy theory. Apparently one of Romney's own supporters believes the "conspiracy theory" himself.

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."

Because The Narrative Cannot Survive A Rewrite

Sorry kids, but the GOP is behaving like the Obama administration and will lose because of it.
