Read that also.

Should have produced 15,000 signatures to cover any shortfall.

His campaign is looking amateurish.

“Then again... How hard is it to get 10,000 valid registered signatures etc... ?”

Difficult. And expensive. This is the sort of Bravo Sierra that has been pulled on third parties for years.

That’s the ticket - a Ron Paul landslide will send the message: ANYBODY BUT ROMNEY!

so that’s how they are going to do it - just disqualify everyone except the one they want - Romney.

The backstabbing, cowardly, ineligible RINO:
“I may be ineligible and a RINO
who will do or say anything or hurt anyone,
but I bet you $10,000 that the RNC will disqualify EVERYONE ELSE.”

FACTOID OF THE DAY:

Bad Gov. Romney, in another of his “hit and runs”
managed to even raise taxes on New Hampshire residents
while Gov. of Massachusetts.
Believe it or not.

If real signatures were required Obama wouldn’t be president.

Every single candidate that challenged Romney in the polls has been torpedoed by the media. Bachmann, Cain, and now Gingrich...the system IS rigged.

We must began supporting a serious third party movment. Yesterday AP released a picture of Romney at a Christman gathering with H.W. Bush...We now have a choice of a socialist or a socialist lite.

Your’e right a second term for Obama would be a disaster...but how different would a Romney term be?

Enough to matter?

I believe you hit the nail on the head.

This thing stinks like rotting roadkill.

As far as I can see Virginia just made their primary irrelevant.

Yup. A Grand Ol’ Plantation. See tagline.

I don’t think so. Not in the primary.

What a coincidence! They’ve eliminated everyone but the establishment’s golden boy and the mad doctor.

This is getting ridiculous. If Romney thinks he's won a victory here he's sadly mistaken. It just gives the rest of us cause to say this whole process is a fraud. Sarah...Sarah...

This is turning into 1964. We’re going to lose, but let’s do so in a way that establishes us as philosophically prescient after the welfare state collapses. Ron, start writing the speeches of your life NOW.

This is asinine. Isn’t (or wasn’t he until now) leading by a large margin in Virginia in the polls? Obviously he can get enough signatures.

Poor performance from Gingrich and Perry.

Gingrich supposedly has this nationwide network ready to spring into action -- failure.

Perry has - or had - the cash to make it happen. Failure.

The other candidates have limited resources and needed to focus every cent on Iowa.

Although really, a well-organized campaign must have some local supporters in every Virginia district who could be convinced to collect signatures. It's a doable task, but an onerous one considering the reward.

Two questions:

1) What is the VA deadline??

2) What does this mean: NEWT IS OUT. RPV ??
