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.

Good take!

I wonder if the headlines about Newt and Bachmann this close to Iowa will benefit another candidate?

Doggone, what a larcenous mind you must have. :)

Of course, if the worker hadn’t forged 1500 signatures, he would have had fewer than 10,000 and wouldn’t have even been able to submit.

If he’s saying they stopped collecting signatures because they thought they had enough, that would be stupid because he really should have been shooting for 15,000.

Still, I feel bad for him. It’s not easy to get signatures if you don’t have a reliable volunteer base, and it’s hard to enter into a state you know little about and put a team together.
