See below what I received from FNC Carl Cameron! This is really wild! More possible Florida election problems?

Tampa, FL — Florida’s primary might not be over just yet.
The Newt Gingrich campaign is gearing up to challenge the results of the florida primary based on the Republican National Committee’s own rules which state that no contest can be winner take all prior to April 1, 2012. (See attached RNC memo.)
The Gingrich campaign plans to challenge Florida’s winner take all status & demand proportional allocation of delegates.
Fox News has learned that Thursday, a Florida Gingrich campaign official will begin the process of trying to have the RNC rules enforced so that the Sunshine State delegates are proportionately allocated.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus warned Florida Republican Party Chairman Lenny Curry of the violation in a December letter quoting the rule, “…’winner-take-all’ states cannot hold a primary or caucus before April 1, 2012.”
Tuesday night’s Mitt Romney victory in the Sunshine State awarded the former Massachusetts Governor all 50 Florida delegates (the state was already docked half their delegates for moving the election up on the calendar). Romeny won the primary with 46% to Gingrich’s 2nd place with 32%. Rick Santorum finished 3rd with 13% and Ron Paul with 7%.
