It's official: The five states who set their 2008 presidential primaries before Feb. 5 will lose half of their delegates to the Republican convention next summer, under rules passed by the Republican National Committee in 2004. Committee officials announced in a conference call with reporters this afternoon that
New Hampshire, Michigan, South Carolina, Wyoming and Florida will be punished with the withdrawal of half their delegates. Iowa and Nevada are exempt from the rule because their nominating contests in January are caucuses in which delegates will not technically be awarded.
I guess if one of the walking dead was banking on Florida, it could hurt him. I don't know how each the goppers are playing
the primaries.
