Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is backing off a push to change his state's election rules before the March 6 presidential primary, after only two Republican candidates qualified for the ballot.
The attorney general on Saturday had said he wanted to overhaul the process before the primary, calling the state's system "deficient." Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry were locked out of the Virginia ballot after failing to meet the state's signature requirement, while three other candidates did not even try to meet the requirement.
But by late Sunday, Cuccinelli had abandoned plans to file emergency legislation to address the matter, saying it wouldn't be fair to the two candidates -- Mitt Romney and Ron Paul -- who did qualify by submitting at least 10,000 valid petition signatures.

The NWO will not be changed.
This is bad. 49 delegates going to most likely Romney. Thank Goodness he needs over 1100. Still that seems unfair. I would put all the candidates on the ballot. And if they want the rules the way they were this year than ensure that everyone understands them and have them ready for 2016.
This is extremely erratic behavior. To go public with this type of call only to back off hours later. Who got to Cucinelli?
and they changed the rules in November to lock out Newt and Perry and Santorum and Bachmann...
The Mormon Mafia got to him.
He’s a GOP establishment coward like the rest of them.
Yup.
RINO or bust aka, McCain part deux, aka it`s my turn dammit, aka another 4 years of Hussein and codified Statism/death of the Republic.

I don’t understand how 2 of the 6 could get it done with apparently no problem? Why couldn’t the others?
It is certainly beginning to look that way.
Of course, Newt should NOT be allowed on the ballot. He’s leading the polls there. And a contest between Newt, Willard, and Uncle Ron = EZ Newt victory.
WE CAN’T HAVE THAT!
Did it occur to you that both mittens and that old crazy Texan ran in 2008 and may have developed political connections that helped them in 2011?
I've read that VA changed the rules in November, but I'm not sure about that claim.
There is going to be severe blow back from this strong armed tactic.
Of course, but they still got on the ballot, didn’t they? Newt’s been around northern Virginia a long time.
Cuccinelli ruined his political future. Does he, even, know this?
