I was going to say im tired of hearing from people who seem to be sore losers, however in this case I have to agree with Newt. It looks like the
Florida Republicans violated their own rules. Apparently if a Republican primary is held before April 1st, the delegates are divided between the top
winners (1st, 2nd, 3rd).
Any primary after April 1st can be winner takes all. Since Florida, who used to be a winner take all before they moved their primary up, they failed
to adapt the divided up requirement.
The RNC already agrees with newt, so the formal challenge is just down the road. I am curious what impact, if any at all, this might have on either
campaign. At the rate we are going its starting to look the the last Democratic primary between Obama and hillary. Taking it down to the final day of
the convention with multiple floor votes.
The Democrats get a pass because of Obama.....
The Republicans get a pie fight...

Report: Newt Gingrich
to challenge Florida primary
ORLANDO, Fla. -
The Florida primary may not be over just yet because the Newt Gingrich campaign is gearing up to challenge the primary based on the Republican National Committee's rules, according to a Fox News report.
The RNC's rules state that no winner-take-all primary may be held before April 1 and Florida happens to be a winner-take-all state.
The winner of Florida's primary, Mitt Romney, was expected to gain all 50 of the state's delegates, but the Gingrich campaign demands to split up the delegates based on percentage, the report says.
A warning was sent to the Republican Party of Florida by the RNC stating that a winner-take-all state couldn't have a primary until April 1.
The RNC responded to Gingrich Thursday saying that Florida violated the rule and is already being punished for it.
The RNC does not have the ability to intervene any further unless Gingrich files a proper contest , according to the RNC memo.

I agree with dividing the votes up, and my best guess is that will happen. The RNC backed themselves into corner on their won in this case.
As far as Romney and his comment, it is being taken out of context, and he did clarify his comment when the moderator asked him about it. The clarification is conviently being ignored...
His comment was in reference to things in government that needs to be fixed. He made the comment about the poor, referring to the safety net, or assistance programs already in place, that does the job. He went on to state that if holes are found in that safety net, he would fix it.
His comment was about the programs and not poor people themselves.
It would be like saying Im not concerned about vehicle safety. Its not that the person doesnt care about safety, its because the safety features present work and does the job they are intended to do. Now, if the safety standards slip and adverse effects come from it, then they would get involved to make sure that breach was fixed.

It doesn't matter. David Axelrod has tears of joy running down his face.
Mitt Romney is the perfect richest 1% poster boy for the liberals.
You should have seen them on MSNBC this morning. It was like Christmas!
They will milk this clip for all that it's worth.
Romney doesn't care about the poor!!!!!!

The GOP will run with Obama calling Americans lazy.

I think you might be mistaking my post and defense on the donations as me supporting Mitt Romney for President.
So there is no confusion, I am not voting for Mitt Romney for President. However because im not voting for him doesnt mean I would ignore Inaccuracies that are linked to him. Ive taken up the defense of Obama on the same grounds.
I view myself as an independent and I vote for the person who most closely matches my ideals allowing for compromise to account for the fact the US is not all Republican or Democrat.
