Sabato can suck on a lemon and the NYT is behind the times: NOT accurate and not updated.

[Logical me]

Sue the State.

[trumandogz]

Without question, a huge embarrassment for Gingrich and Perry.

[trumandogz]

What state do you want to sue?

[freespirited]

I don’t see how the RPV thinks we can have a primary with just Romney and Paul. Who is going to show up to cast a ballot?

[pallis]

It’s likely to make voters angry at the Romney/Rove establishment for robbing them.

[ronnie raygun]

Get out your plastic hair hats and tin foil hats we’re gonna have a party.....................that no one shows up for

[montag813]

Not a Gingrich fan, but these rules are idiotic. It’s just a stupid primary

[Jim Robinson]

It’s a disaster for the Republican party, for Virginia and for our constitutional republic. Now, it may be that Gingrich is not all that popular among the fat-assed RINO ruling class and kingmakers, but the national and Virginia polls prove that he’s very popular among the conservative base and the tea party. I’m hoping that enough people rise up against these corrupt shenanigans to get our LEADING Republican candidates on the ballot in all 57 states!!

They are enforcing they have never enforced in the past in order to exclude everybody except Myth.

This will turn into a public relations disaster for Myth.

[trumandogz]

No one was robbed.

As I understand it, all prospective candidates knew the Virginia rule and knew what they had to do.

[The Sons of Liberty]

The Virginia GOP in the bag for Rino Romney?

[Essie]

This whole thing doesn’t pass the smell test. In think in the end it will be a big embarrassment for Mitt Romney.

The Paulistinians.

[RealImmigrant]

Gingrich can survive this.

The VA ballot issue hurts Perry, Santorum, Bachmann more...because they do not have many chances at winning in other states....Gingrich still can

[tirednvirginia]

Thanks, I’m wih you on this.

[Brilliant]

I’ve just about given up on Gingrich. I’m not sure he’s that much more conservative than Romney, and he doesn’t seem much more electable than Bachmann or Ron Paul.

[TexasFreeper2009]

seriously, go away.
