I think headline writers are among the real vermin of the planet. Sounds to me like Newt was explaining what happened - probably in response to a question about what happened.

Header makes it seem like he called a press conference to point the finger.

Newt says that one of his paid campaign workers turned in 1500 false signatures which killed his bid to get on the Virginia ballot.

Clever...Newt knows some of the next questions will be casting doubt on the other campaigns.

The Gingrich campaign is becoming a bigger jobs by the day. The campaign worker’s name wasn’t Yamamoto by any chance, was it?

I’d look it whatever legal measures I could use to collect the expenses of collecting those false signatures, if he can figure out who was responsible.

That is the price you pay for surrounding your self with dishonest people. Not presidential material.

Romney did this in 2008, and knew exactly how to get signatures. He started early, has a great ground game, and was able to collect thosands more signatures than needed.

Ron Paul did NOT collect 15,000 signatures, so every one of his signatures was checked. But he has a fanatical volunteer army, and he’s been through this before, and he had no trouble getting 10,000 valid and verified signatures.

Perry and Gingrich both apparently had to trust people who in the end were not trustworthy.

Why on Earth would Newt hire ACORN to do his ground work for him?

It is not surprising if the opponent(s) sent the frauds over to Gingrich and/or Perry to sabotage their petition.

Oh well, VA stupidly limits their voters’ choice. It will backfire on them.

I still say - demand equal protection under the rule - check soetoro/obama’s documentary proofs that he is constitutionally eligible to be the president, or his name will be off the ballot!
