And some people think this guy should run the government? He’s going to overturn Obamacare???? Dream on.
Get the army of gingbots, gingbats and gingnuts to help this guy out.
Clearly, his goal is to split the Tea Party vote and hand over victory to Mittens. Best to desert him and support Bachmann.
Once again the Leftists will have useful idiots on the GOP side to help destroy yet another GOP candidate.
The media must seriously laugh their a$$es off at the GOP.
I’m waiting to see which candidates make it on the ballot here in Virginia. I think the deadline for petitions was tomorrow.
I’ll say this — I’ve only seen (and signed) a petition for Herman Cain, although I was told Romney was circulating petitions.
I signed up to the campaigns for Gingrich, Perry, and Santorum, just so I could send them e-mails asking them to get me petitions to sign and/or circulate.
NONE of those campaigns got back to me, and I sent Gingrich 3 e-mails, because they DID start sending me spam three-four times a day, so I thought they might care.
From the article:
“Ohio requires submitting signatures of between 50 and 150 Republicans in each of the state’s 16 congressional districts.”
So at most that’s 2400 signatures. If he can’t put that together in time it’ll be tragic but comical too. A very doable number, if you have the determination and discipline to do it right.
I have a client whom I helped get on the ballot in the Chicago area, and she was so disciplined on the ground. She had an excess of signatures, and they were all top-notch quality. Her troops verified voter registration, went door to door, didn’t do Wal-Mart junk signatures. And she was so ready for the predictable ballot objections she just creamed the effort to block her. I did help. There were some tricky legal issues with her name and her residency. But it always goes better when you’ve got a great client.
I hate to say how this contrasts with what I’m seeing from the Gingrich people. So far. I understand they’re stretched, so I assume they’re doing their best under the circumstances. Still, there will be consequences for a lack of preparation, as with anything else in life.
Newt can win by going write-in. Such is the power of his ideas.
Foy are we bucked..
Remember when the best and brightest ran of office?
Me neither. The best and brightest are smart enough to know not to run.
I’m confused. Some people are still waiting for Palin to come to the rescue. I think Reagan didn’t enter his name until December. How would they have met the deadline for most state’s primary ballot?
