Apparently Santorum was close. Here is a note from his Facebook page:

TEAM SANTORUM: Tomorrow is the deadline for ballot qualification in Virginia and we are close to reaching the 10,000 signatures needed. We are making one final push and need your help. If you are able to help get some signatures collected in the next 18 hours, please email: shelley@ricksantorum.com.

He has less available resources and staff than any of the other candidates running. I don't think that it's an issue of him not being able to be bothered. He's simply running on a shoestring budget (and in general has done an excellent job in my opinion).

I’m from Virginia, I registered as a Virginian, I’m on his mailing list, and I wrote his campaign to tell them I’d sign a petition.

And the campaign never got back to me, nor did they ever tell me where they were located in the state.

I’m sorry to hear he was close and didn’t make it — It could be he had plenty of signatures from where I live, and was having trouble in the more democratic districts. I’ve always hoped Santorum could catch fire, but what can you do.

This is what happened with me and Hunter in 2008. Hunter failed to make the ballot in Virginia (at least I got a chance to sign his ballot).

The only petition I signed this year was Herman Cain.
