Michigan GOP votes to change rule to award more delegates to Mittens

[WI_DEM]

Michigan Republicans voted to award two at-large delegates to Mitt Romney "despite the party's rules that the two at-large delegates are supposed to be awarded on a proportional basis based on the statewide popular vote," the Detroit Free Press reports.

Romney won the statewide vote by a 41% to 38% margin over Rick Santorum.

"The rest of the state's delegates will be split evenly between Romney and Santorum because each won seven congressional districts across the state. As a result, Romney gets 16 delegates and Santorum 14."

4. ex post facto?

Not that this race will come down to 1 or 2 delegates. Plus FL and AZ are trying to award their delegates on a "winner take all" basis which is also against the rules.

This seems like a lot of trouble just to remove one talking point from Frothy. It just looks like he is now the victim and Rmoney is winning by cheating. I hope Rachel adds this one to her list of screw ups for the (R)s while choosing their nominee.

5. Just like the GOP. Change the rules when it doesn't fit their agenda.

6. Ha Ha! Suck on that Santorum Fans!

How do you like your GOP now?

8. Romney will get the nomination by fraudulent means.

9. I think we all ought to petition Santorum

to say Fuck the GOP, they're evangelical and right wing enough for me and run third party (Maybe inbvite Bachman to be his vp nominee) I'd even pony up money for that!!!
