Lenny Curry, chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, said Thursday all candidates knew how Florida’s delegates would be awarded since the state GOP voted in September.
“All campaigns and the RNC have known since then that Florida was winner take all. RNC’s legal counsel has, on numerous occasions, noted their understanding and acceptance of Florida’s rule,” Curry said in a statement. “Florida was winner take all before Election Day, we were winner take all on Election Day, we will remain winner take all.”
He added, “It is a shame when the loser of a contest agrees to the rules before, then cries foul after losing.”

this is kind of unassailable.

so assuming unemployment/economic trends continue the way they are now, this seems very probable, right?

1. Romney wins nom.
2. Obama beats Romney
3. Republican party decides they lost bc Romney was too centrist.
4. 2016 primaries bring even more lulz than 2012 primaries????

like, 2016 primaries probably joe the plumber v. the disembodied head of newt v. a holographic image of megatron?

That is one possible future, but prediction is a difficult game. Too many trends have to remain intact in order to be correct. You never know when there will be big, unpredictable reversal.

this would be a nice way of running their party into the ground

after 8 years i wonder if rank and file republicans are more willing to make a deal

Sharon Angle wearing the decomposing hide of Regan vs. some dude who just straight-up hates non whites and was let off on a technicality after trying to blow up the IRS

wow, all that and he still has time for freelance criticism

I think the fringe will conceivably be even more insane. I think 8 years of the cultural change (and generational change, too, I guess) may have altered the party nationally, though. The base is clearly turning into a southern party which is yet again on the wrong side of history. If the economy improves enough that the politics of rage is set aside, cultural wedge-issues may not work as well

So effectively you're saying that "always in motion is the future"

you may think you are a motherfucker, but that just means you haven't met rick santorum yet xxp

That picture of Romney is so great. Belongs in the write-your-own-caption Hall of Fame. (The man and the woman directly underneath the baby look crazed.)

hahahahaha

Also, Romney-throwing-kid would slide brilliantly into Santorum.jpg imo.

Those darn rock bands!

“What happens is the rock groups object to who’s playing their music,” said Ed Rollins, the longtime Republican campaign strategist. “They never seem to yell and scream at the other side. It’s always the Republicans that they become unhappy with. They don’t want their great music involved in the impure business of politics.”

(And yes, enjoy the Survivor pic too.)

The bit the Survivor singer did on Colbert was hilarious.

Nobody cares at this point, and it doesn't mean anything, but Gingrich's press conference was fascinating, topped off by David Gergen saying he doesn't remember a presidential candidate who was "so driven by hatred." Geez, David, think hard--you might have worked for one.

If you had rippling biceps like Santorum, you'd wear sweater vests too. #Gunshow

For anyone sane enough not to have been in front of a TV at eleven o'clock last night, this is worth watching for the sheer weirdness of an I've-just-been-crushed press conference.

*clears throat*

Wow that is a clip that I think will be pretty historical down the line.

A) he eviscerated Romney both from the left and right, giving Obama plenty of hand-crafted talking points to use.

B) further cemented Newt's megalomania and increasingly desperate cracks in his narcissistic facade (asking "did you miss me?" and it really didn't sound like a joke), adding new wrinkles to his legacy.

C) Basically signaling that what was to be the shortest primary season ever is going to go on and on and on.

I know I should be totally repulsed by Newt but he's a fascinating character to me. I don't want him anywhere near the white house but I don't think I'd mind if he became a mainstay of my political news and entertainment.... just to occasionally hear Gingrich in his reflective, professorial tone toss out ideas like permanent moon bases and the repeal of child labor laws.

He will debate Romney, anywhere - anytime, on any topic! Does Newt have a debate belt he has to constantly defend or something? Maybe he should get Chris Jericho to be his running mate.

lincoln-douglas!

Gingrich has so bought into the idea that he's some kind of master debater (pun intended) that, more than anything else right now, he seems fixated on the fact that Romney got the better of him in the last one. Listen to him at the beginning of the second clip--he's still incensed a week later.

All presidential candidates must engage in at least one session of Maieutics...

"Gov. Romney, we'll start with you - what is truth?"

Viceroy otm. That press conference is a remarkable document. Like, it should be staged & performed by great actors in the future on stages with sets designed by the great designers of their time. Fuckin incredible. Just so petulant. The name of the one-man Newt show should be "lol u mad"
