You are either hopelessly obtuse or pretending not to know facts or just such a bureaucratic microbe that you will not listen to reason.

You talk about “all Newt’s people had to do blah blah blah” - you miss the point that for months in the campaign he DID NOT HAVE PEOPLE — HIS CAMPAIGN WAS SLOW TO START. DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH. WHAT IS SO FRIGGIN HARD ABOUT THIS.

You say “the state law is what it is” and TOTALLY IGNORE THE FACT THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN APPLIED LIKE THIS BEFORE. DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH. WHAT IS SO FRIGGIN HARD ABOUT THIS FOR YOU????????????????

You say it has worked until now. REALLY? NO ONE EVER CHECKED THE SIGNATURES BEFORE NOW. THERE HAD ONLY BEEN TWO CYCLES IT HAS BEEN USED BEFORE NOW. WORKED UNTIL NOW? NO ONE CHALLENGED IT UNTIL NOW BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T ENFORCE IT UNTIL NOW. DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH. WHAT IS SO FRIGGIN HARD ABOUT THIS CONCEPT FOR YOU????????

You say blah blah blah 2008 OBAMA KUCINICH ETC? The DEM PARTY GETS THE SIGNATURES FOR THESE FOLKS — DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH WHAT IS SO FRIGGIN HARD FOR YOU ABOUT THIS???????????? None of those folks you snarkily - AND IGNORANTLY SAY - are better organized than Newt - had to get their own damned signatures you ninny.

Seriously. You are not even trying to have an adult converstaion, so go away.

LOL. So much for civility. I know the facts better than you do. As I said previously, you will find out more about the real facts in the not too distant future. The persons you should be most unhappy with and angry towards are Newt and Perry. They should have had their campaign supporters involved early on to ensure compliance. You don't rush down to VA on December 21 and frantically try to get signatures the day before the deadline.

And what makes it doubly worse is that Newt has been a resident of VA for 10 years. He lives in McLean. This could have all beeb avoided. I suspect that when Newt announced in May, he did so more as a way to get in the limelight and sell some books as well as introduce his ideas into the campaign. His campaign is still deeply in debt and his ground game is still in sorry shape.

FYI: This is the fourth cycle with the current law having been in effect since 1999.
