The never-ending Clown Show™
As I wrote about yesterday, Rick Santorum is fighting tooth and nail for that one Michigan delegate that they believe was inappropriately awarded to Mitt Romney. So, they staged a protest rally outside the headquarters of the Michigan Republican Party (MRP) headquarters.
It drew three. Not three busloads. Not three dozen.
These Republicans could sure learn a thing or two about how to protest, amirite?
Only three people showed up to a rally at Michigan GOP headquarters in Lansing to show their dissatisfaction with the party’s allocation of delegates between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum following the Feb. 28 primary.The three people talked to leaders inside GOP headquarters.State GOP leaders apportioned the at-large delegates on the day after the election, saying that Santorum would get 14 and Romney would get 16.Leaders explained to the three Santorum supporters that the AP erroneously reported that both candidates would receive 15 candidates.
More from MichiganRadio.org in their piece “Santorum rally in front of GOP headquarters fizzles”:
A rally was scheduled for last night to protest the Michigan Republican Party’s decision to award both of the state’s at-large national convention delegates to Mitt Romney. Supporters of Rick Santorum say he was denied his fair share of the delegates because he won almost half the statewide vote.But only a handful of people showed up at the state Republican headquarters in Lansing, and they were quickly invited inside for a closed-door meeting with party officials.One of them was Spencer Austin, who said he was with Students for Santorum.“I’m here to, uh, I’m not going to say protest — because I think that’s a flaky term – I’m here just to prove a point: I feel that Santorum was cheated out of delegates,” Austin said.
Yup, iamrite.
My buddy Bruce Fealk did manage to get MRP Communications Director Matt Frendewey to speak to him briefly.
“I gotta talk to real reporters.” LMAO. (Bruce Fealk is a reporter for the Rochester Citizen.)
In other news, the Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, Robert Schostak, is taking full responsibility for the confusion surrounding their robbing denying Santorum the extra delegate by what appeared to be last-minute rule changes. Easy to do when there are only three people in the state that really seem to give a damn, I suppose.
