Passing the 10000/400 verified threshold is tough. Especially getting the 400+ sigs in the 90% Dem districts back when Newt was polling around 5-7% before Cain imploded. Searching for an eligible registered Newt voter in the NOVA DC-area before November would have been like searching for silver dimes on the sidewalk.

Nonsense. We have 11 Congressional Districts in Va. Currently the Dems hold three seats out of the 11. The idea that any of these districts are 90% Democrat is pure bunk. And all you need are registered voters regardess of party status including independents.

There is no voter registration by political party in Virginia. Any registered voter may vote in the presidential primary election. However, no voter shall vote for the candidate of more than one political party. There are over 5 million registered voters in VA.

BigGovernment: Virginia’s 3rd and 8th congressional district, for example, are among the most Democratic in the country, with a PVI score of D+20 and D+16, respectively. Woody Allen may be right when he said 90% of success is just showing up, but it is hard to show up when there is effectively no Republican party in some congressional districts.
