TAMPA — The Republican National Convention Rules Committee voted 63-38 to approve a new rule granting the Republican National Committee — and Mitt Romney — sweeping new powers to amend the governing document of the GOP.
The move came at the encouragement of Mitt Romney supporters on the committee, including Romney's top lawyer Ben Ginsberg, who stressed that it would grant "flexibility" to Romney and the committee to adapt to changing political environments. The rule allows the RNC to amend the party's rules without a vote by the full Republican National Convention. - - BuzzFeed Politics
Now, why would Mitt Romney need the “flexibility” to adapt to changing political environments? Better stated, why would he need to stray from the party platform?
