Republicans only half as bad as Democrats
Republicans are determined to "punish" early state primaries, but only half as much as Democrats.
WASHINGTON - Rebelling Republicans in five states will push ahead with early nominating contests, undeterred by party leaders' decision Thursday to punish them by excluding half their convention delegates.
Seeking to restore order to a chaotic primary calendar, GOP Chairman Mike Duncan said New Hampshire, Florida, South Carolina, Michigan and Wyoming would lose delegates to next summer's national convention for violating party rules against holding nominating contests before Feb. 5.
Wow, this reminds me of 70s Republicans, whose war cry was "only half as bad as the Democrats!" :D
