Florida Republicans tell SurveyUSA that that when all is said and done, Florida’s delegates to the Republican National Convention will be counted, despite threats by the Republican National Committee to penalize the state, according to a poll conducted for WFLA-TV Tampa.
Though a majority of Florida Republicans says the state should obey the calendar rules set by the RNC, a majority also says that it is unfair to penalize the state for violating those rules. By 5:2, Florida Republicans say, in the end, their delegates will be counted. Tea Party members by 6:1 say that despite the threats, the delegates will be counted.
