OK then they knew the state of play beforehand and didn't get the job done. Half the battle is knowing the obstacles the second half of the battle is adapting to them. Apparently Newt and the others only fought half the battle.
And that as we say in the Biz is the facts. Thanks for proving the point.

You have stepped into a logical quagmire of your own making. Both Newt and Perry had more than 10 thousand sigs - meaning they DID follow the rules. Yet, the Virginia bean counters - perhaps due to their own leanings - have ruled many hundreds of signatures not valid. But you, proving you are a bureaucratic liberal - automatically side with the bean counters - even though the entire battle was fought.
And, you are assuming that a rule is valid and makes sense as long as everyone knows it in advance. That is nonsense. There are EPA and IRS and INS rules that everyone knows but they are total bullsh-t - and we allow folks to content on these grounds when those rules are not met.
And then there’s the notion you have that an underdog or late campaign should be disqualified. Any one who has ever run anything, and from your post I am quite sure you have not - knows that when resources are scarce you have to fight the battle ahead of you so you can live to fight another day.
Had Perry or Newt or Bachmann spent the time and resources necessary to get this stupid Virginia requirement done - then you would have been likely the first to bitch that they misappropriated resources when they should have been spending time in Iowa and New Hampshire and SC and Florida.
You have talked yourself in circles and come out supporting a system set up to reward perpetual candidates and rules loving unaccountable bureaucrats.
