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.

How do we know those names were checked? Where are the witnesses.

Willard, the organized candidate who won exactly three primaries (only in his “home” states) in ‘08 by self financing? That impresses you and the other Rombots?

Politics is filthy business.

EVERYONE knew how to get Virginia signatures last time due to different rules, that is NO ONE checked addresses.

This time, if you had moved between elections, your name was thrown out.

That’s fair. Not.

Newt has admitted he had fraudulent signatures. I can’t imagine Rick Perry’s campaign filing a lawsuit knowing he has fraudulent signatures.
