Can we pick up this seat?

"In good faith, I submitted more than enough valid signatures to the board of elections, so I am obviously disappointed with this decision today," Wilson said in a statement released Wednesday afternoon.

Maybe he didn't read the decision.

LOL

[popdonnelly]

Careful, these are the people who could be running the House next year.

[goldstategop]

Howard Dean hired an incompetent campaign staff that can't even obtain a sufficient number of required signatures to get one of the party's candidates on the ballot. He really is a chimpanzee on speed.

We have the seat. The question is, can we hold it?

[Red Badger]

....I submitted more than enough valid signatures to the board of elections...

No, you didn't..............

[goldstategop]

When Democrats break the law, they demand special treatment. Sheesh. Born losers!

[cripplecreek]

although he submitted 96 signatures a few days before the filing deadline, only 46 were found to be valid,

Ouch.

[RinaseaofDs]

He should move to Washington State and run here. Voter fraud and election crimes are encouraged by both parties here. Anyone in serious doubt about this can read all about it at soundpolitics.org. Make sure you've waited a couple of hours after you've eaten, though.

[goldstategop]

What kind of candidate doesn't check his submission form before turning it in? If this is an indication of the quality of Democratic candidates elsewhere, the party's much touted front-runner status may turn out to be nothing more than a misplaced hope.

Article says the Dems hold the seat now.

[litehaus]

"He should move to Washington State"...Nah...Joysee....They REALLY know how to do it there...prison,ineligible..it don't count there.

[goldstategop]

Much be the new Democrat math. (laughing harder)

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

"He is running for the seat now occupied by Rep. Ted Strickland, a Democrat who is running for Ohio governor."

This was what I was going on.

[goldstategop]

I'm amused we get to pick up a Democratic seat because the Dems are too stupid to tie their own shoelaces. I call that poetic justice!

I think Independents require petitions and signatures too. Of course, he can be written in, but to have his name on the ballot, I think he needs signatures. And if memory serves me, I think he needs a lot more signatures to run as an independent than as a major party candidate.

[Redbob]

Maybe he just doesn't know what the word "valid" means.

Like they said about the Dims, in the wake of Palm Beach in '00, "You live by the stupid, you die by the stupid!"

[Red Badger]

It was obviously a VRWC plot against him..........

[doug from upland]

Doh. You are right. I had better stick to California. :)
