Florida primary might not be a done deal - Fox News

Newt crying foul about the rules yet again, after playing the game and losing. If FL GOP changes their rules to give Newt any delegates, expect Santorum and Paul to pile on. If it was going to be a proportional allocation, Paul for sure would have campaigned in the state. It's unfair to change the rules later in the game.

Gingrich is toast.

And why does something crazy like this always happen in FL during elections?

Newt never ceases to amaze with his powers of idiocy.

Florida accepted a loss of half of their delegates in order to be a winner take all. Same is true of South Carolina, but oddly enough, Newt's sense of horrible injustice has not yet forced him to give proportional delegates for that state. And no you can't get on the Virginia ballot Newt. Yes by all means threaten to sue everybody. Have fun with that!

Poor Newtered. He will now

There's a reason he is the only Speaker of the House in US history to ever be officially reprimanded! He is/was/always will be that bad!

But there are places out there where that sort of behavior is seen as "bold" and "highly electable." Here's a sample of their amazing intelligence:


Uhhh...what did she just say?? Miss Teen South Carolina 2007 - YouTube

It will be interesting to see if any other states follow SC's shining example.

I can hear Obama snickering in the background. Newt is working for Obama Inc., he was put in as a spoiler to keep Ron Paul out of the top half of the pack and now he makes Trump look like an adult. Pathetic.

Time for the old guard of the GOP to give it up and allow the Liberty movement to take over.

I don't know if I'd credit Obama with Newtered's recent string of successes, but he is such a drama queen attention wwhorre, it just blows my mind.

Whatever media coverage was paying any attention to Ron Paul at all has now shifted to Gingrich. The media loves him because they're just waiting for the latest Newter stupid one liner. The man's only significant message is that he's going to create a moon colony! Can we please at least get some equal time?!

The good news is that he's not Speaker of the House or he'd shut down the federal government over this!
