South Carolina Republican Party Chair Karen Floyd today brought into the open the simmering tensions between the traditional early states and the others -- particularly Florida -- jockeying to break into the primary calendar. |
Floyd's demand: If Florida won't step aside, the RNC should move its convention out of the state. |
Unfortunately, our Party stands on the precipice of our hard work being rendered meaningless, with the very real possibility looming that Florida’s Presidential Preference Primary may be held prior to March 1, in contravention of Party Rules – a move that would precipitate numerous other states similarly violating Part... |
Simply put, if Florida does not respect the process by which our primary calendar was set, the RNC should not be bound to the process by which the convention site was selected. |
She suggests the labor battlegrounds of Wisconsin, Ohio, or Indiana, Senate battlegrounds of Virginia, Missouri, or Michigan, or the Democratic convention spot of Charlotte as possible alternatives. |
It is, in other words, on. Full letter after the jump. |
Taking back the White House in 2012 must be our top priority as Republicans, and as such it is critical that our presidential nominating process must serve to put forward the candidate best able to accomplish that task. |
It was with great foresight that in 2008 the Republican National Committee conceived the Temporary Delegate Selection Committee, which subsequently worked for nearly two years to put forward a fair and equitable recommendation with regard to states’ roles in the 2012 nominating process. |
That recommendation was adopted last year by our membership – and, not insignificantly, adopted by a two-thirds vote. This system represents a great step forward in bringing some much-needed predictability to the presidential nominating process, and will help us as a Party to avoid a de facto national primary. I believ... |
As conservatives, we believe in the rule of law, and that rules are made to be followed. To that end, I am sure we all appreciate our state Party counterparts in Florida advocating for the RNC rules being obeyed. But what is disconcerting is the apparent recalcitrance of Florida’s Republican-controlled legislature, whi... |
I give Chairman Reince Priebus great credit for having already stated definitively that the penalties for violating rule 15(b) will be enforced on any state that acts outside the RNC primary calendar, including Florida. Chairman Priebus is also on record as stating that the consequences for states could extend beyond t... |
That being said, based upon the totality of the public statements from Florida’s legislative leaders, it is my fear that these sanctions may not be enough to dissuade Florida from the path that they are on. Recently, some legislative leaders in Florida have even floated the idea of a “compromise” by which they would ho... |
If Florida refuses to move its primary date into compliance with RNC rules, I am respectfully requesting that the Committee convene a special task force to select a new site for the 2012 Convention outside the state of Florida. |
Liberal forces across the country have mobilized to push back against the conservative, pro-taxpayer reforms being advanced in Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana that are aimed at curtailing union power there. What better way to recognize the courageous efforts of conservatives in those states than by having Republicans desce... |
Similarly, we should look at states where our presence could bolster efforts at winning key Senate seats in 2012. Among others, it is critically important that we retake the seat of retiring Senator Jim Webb in Virginia, and defeat incumbent Democratic senators like Claire McCaskill in Missouri and Debbie Stabenow in M... |
Finally, with Obama having won the once solidly red state of North Carolina in 2008, we must reassert our presence there. Having our convention there would have the added benefit or countering the considerable energy that the Democratic Party is looking to generate in that state by holding their own convention in Charl... |
I do not make any of these suggestions lightly, or with the notion that this idea will not be met with considerable resistance. Even if we choose to take this action as a way to sanction Florida, I am fully cognizant that it may not ultimately dissuade them from the path that they appear to be on -- but as a Party, we ... |
It remains my sincere hope that none of this will be necessary – that Florida will ultimately abide by the rules set forward by our Committee, that we will have an orderly and predictable nominating process, and that we will have a phenomenal convention in Tampa in 2012. If Florida’s legislature makes those things impo... |
Thank you again for all for your continued leadership of our Party and in all that you do. I look forward to working with each of you as we fight to bring conservative leadership back to this country. |
CHELSEA endured a year of torment last season, utterly failing to defend their Premier League crown of 2014/15. |
A year of change has seen passionate Italian Antonio Conte take the helm at Stamford Bridge and revamp the west Londoners. |
The Blues are now showing their best yet again with Conte's tactical genius proving too much of their league rivals. |
They have the title in sight yet again and surely it's theirs for the taking this season. |
After a sticky spell in September, Chelsea have taken the Premier League by storm. |
Their 3-0 defeat to Arsenal on September 24 prompted Conte to switch to a 3-4-3 formation and his team have responded to it magnificently. |
Thanks to superb performances from Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and summer signing N'Golo Kante, the Blues have won eleven straight games in the league. |
They are top of the table by a distance on Christmas Day, a position they historically turn into title glory come May. |
Costa is the league's top scorer while Chelsea's defence have conceded the fewest goals in the top-flight - it's a potent mixture. |
Paris St-Germain's Marco Verratti would be the final piece in Conte's puzzle. |
The Chelsea chief worked with the combative yet stylish midfielder with the Italian national team and would love to bring him to the Premier League. |
A replacement for the ageing Gary Cahill would also be beneficial. |
Roma's Antonio Rudiger, Kalidou Koulibaly of Napoli or Southampton's Virgil van Dijk would all fit in well at Stamford Bridge. |
Who could leave Chelsea in January? |
Oscar is on his way to China and veterans John Terry and John Obi Mikel could well follow suit. |
The likes of Michy Batshuayi, Asmir Begovic, Branislav Ivanovic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are all fringe players under Conte and could leave in search of more regular game-time. |
Everyone connected with Chelsea will be delighted to get back into the Champions League next season and that looks a shoe-in now. |
But following their stunning run of form over the last couple of months, anything but the title this season would prove a disappointment. |
They look capable of beating any side in the league and are firm favourites to reclaim the league crown. |
BRANDON, Miss. (AP) — Officials say a riot at a privately run federal prison in southwest Mississippi that left one guard dead and five other correctional officers and an inmate injured has been brought under control. |
Prison spokeswoman Emilee Beach said the uprising at the Adams County facility was brought under control Sunday night, hours after it started. |
Adams County Coroner James Lee confirmed that a prison guard died, but he said he could not provide any other details. An Adams County sheriff’s spokeswoman said the guard died while being transported to a hospital. |
Beach said the prison, owned and operated by Corrections Corp. of America, holds illegal immigrants, most for charges of re-entering the United States after being deported. |
Beach said the injured guards were taken to a local hospital and treated for injuries that weren’t life-threatening. |

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Three investment advisers and their owners agreed on Wednesday to settle civil charges that they had repeatedly failed to address compliance problems, in a case that stems from a broad crackdown by U.S. regulators into compliance failures by asset managers. |
Portfolio Management Inc., Equitas Capital Advisers LLC, and Equitas Partners LLC would each pay financial penalties and hire compliance consultants to resolve the charges. |
The case was brought by a unit in the SEC's enforcement division that specializes in asset management, one of several specialized areas created in the wake of the financial crisis and the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme. |
The unit has stood out for its approach to pursuing cases, which has involved a mix of responding to referrals from examiners and broader initiatives that look for compliance failures in high-risk areas like fee arrangements, board governance and conflicts of interest. |
The SEC said Wednesday's case stems from an initiative launched two years ago that targets repeat offenders who fail to fix compliance problems identified by SEC examiners. |
The firms charged had compliance programs that "were not adequate to prevent misleading statements in marketing materials or inadvertent overbilling of clients," said Andrew Ceresney, a co-director of the SEC's enforcement division. |
Modern Portfolio Management and its owners, G. Thomas Damasco II and Bryan Ohm, agreed to pay $175,000 and to undergo compliance training. |
The SEC also sanctioned Equitas Capital Advisers and Equitas Partners, owner David S. Thomas, Jr., chief compliance officer Susan Christina, and former owner and chief compliance officer Stephen Derby Gisclair. |
Equitas Capital Advisers and Crescent Capital Consulting LLC, an advisory firm opened by Gisclair in 2010, were both ordered to repay clients who were overbilled. |
Equitas Capital Advisers, Thomas and Gisclair also agreed to pay a total of $225,000 in additional penalties. |
An attorney for Modern Portfolio Management Inc. and its owners declined to comment. |
