primaries too early! New Hampshire, Florida, South Carolina, Michigan and Wyoming will lose half of their delegates to the national convention, said Mike Duncan, chairman of the Republican National Committee.

As I underswtand it, they're prohibiting 1/2 their candidates from attending the Pub convention!

HA! And all the media was bitching about Dean and the Dems!!!!

1. Well, yeah, but the Dem punishment was worse

We lost all of our delegates (Disclaimer: I do NOT blame Dean for losing my delegates. I blame Karen Thurman, the chairwoman of the Democratic Party of Florida)

2. Do you know what this means tho.

If you have 20 delagates and 10 are prohibited from voting, than they can concentrate on who they want. Democrats also.

3. I don't know the answer to that. I do know both cases are pissing off

both Parties though. I don't live in any of those States, so my opinion doesn't count, but (I'll give it anyway!). I blame the State officials who decided they were going to try to usurp the early States no matter what! I dont know much about how the Pubs did things, but I know the Dems had to option of doing a caucus without repercussions and said no to that too. They initially agreed to the rules then changed their minds. IMO, TS for the delegates in both parties. Go to your State PArty leaders and kick THEIR a**!
