More info about the undated letter can be found on this thread.

Romney submitted 16,000 sigs. Perry 12,000, and Newt 11,000.

The rumor is that Newt was bounced because he dropped below 400 in one or two districts. A couple of the NOVA districts around DC are 90% Dem, and finding a Republican there (who will admit it) is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Anyone can sign the petition. We don't have registration by party in VA. Despite living in VA for ten years and every candidate being notified of the requirements on March 6th, Newt hurriedly came back from NH on December 21, one day before the deadline, and had rallies in Arlington and Richmond with the price of admission being the signing of a petition. This smacks of an unorganized campaign that just couldn't get its act together.

You can hang on to these conspiracy theories and lament the unfair rules in VA, but the fact is that the responsibility and blame lies squarely on the candidates. Santorum, who also lives in VA, Bachmann, and Huntsman didn't even try to get on the ballot in VA. This is very revealing. Serious candidates must plan down the road if they are really in it to win it.

Pat Mullins is always sending me emails about this, that and the other thing.

So, he's a Mitbot.

Hmm.

He'd be better off living in Hell than coming around here anymore.
