Blatantly obvious what`s going on.
Fix is in for Romney RINO.

The only real solution to this mess is for VA GOP voters to vote for Ron Paul. A Paul win in VA means fewer delegates for Romney
Too bad so many are caught up in the FOX/MSNBC/CNN attacks on Paul, and will not vote for him. However, if Romney wins VA, it will be over for your favorite candidate
From GOP Chairman’s letter:
“If any candidate submits fewer than 15,000 signatures of registered voters on valid petitions statewide or fewer than 600 signatures of registered voters on valid petitions in one or more of the 11 Congressional Districts, the Republican Party of Virginia will individually verify signatures until the 10,000 signature statewide threshold and/or 400 per Congressional district is met.”
Seems like a legal promise that the verification process is ongoing-— no deadline. The omitted candidates should be allowed to amend their petitions to meet the threshold— so long as they can amass the requisite support.
So where does Newt and even Perry go from here? also, will they be excluded from the Virginia debates? if there are any? what options are available now? imo the fix has been in and way before Virginia. Romney is going to be IT or else...by any means possible.
He will lose to Obama
Cue the recording of Crickets Chirping!!!
I don’t have a problem with them checking signatures because that’s exactly what they should have been doing each and every time. I also don’t have a problem with making the candidates follow each and every rule and that the candidates should never assume that the rules were the same as last time. However, I do have a problem with undated letters and changing the rules in the middle of the game. Rule changes should be at least 6 months out and publicized so there is no question they have been changed. Any and all letters must legally be signed and dated and filed within the jurisdiction. All such letters should also be certified mailed to each candidate.
I’m wondering if they can change the rules. Does VA have some sort of intent form to be placed on the ballot? One would think it did since the candidates must have Form XYZ or whatever numbered form to have the signatures on. Form XYZ should have official instructions attached. Those original official instructions should remain in effect.
“Someone” knocked out Cain because he was in the top tier. Now “someone” is going after Newt. That “someone” is the GOP. Yeah, the Mittens fix is in. With VA’s no write in for their primaries, the only solution is to throw the vote to Paul. Sure, he batty but that would scare the GOP and they need scaring.
I will never cast a vote for that slimy scumbag Romney.
As far as the GOP establishment is concerned, my checkbook remains slammed shut. Screw those filthy bastids.
Virginia conservative Republicans should do the following:
1) After the holidays get on the phone and raise royal hell with the RPV. If you have made pledges for donations, threaten to withdraw them and that you will not donate anymore.
2) If this situation is not resolved and we are forced to vote for these two utter nitwits I say hold your nose and vote for Roach Paul who I think is a complete loon. But if he wins it will utterly humiliate the RINOs in the RPV.
3) If you are not active get active in your local party organization and clean out the RINOs at the leadership level.
| This corruption in the RPV is terrible for yet another reason... The Virgina rules are that if any one candidate gets over 50% of the votes, it is WINNER TAKE ALL. With ALL FOUR candidates that turned in >> 10,000 signatures (Gingrich, Perry, Paul, Romney), by 2008 rules, it most likely would have been a shared delegate count matching Virginia's preferences, OR maybe a small chance Gingrich might have won the WTA. But with only TWO candidates, it is almost guaranteed that Romney will get the WINNER TAKE ALL for Virginia!@#$%%* Virginia, YOU have just been SOOOOOO screwed |
Does VA allow write-ins on the primary ballot?
After reading Section 24.2-545 again I am struck by the fact Section 24.2-545 for the Presidential Primary and Section 24.2-506 for State Office are not joined by any cross reference. From my experience each is therefore independent of the other no matter that each can/does use identical words. For example,”form prescribed by the State Board” does not demand that information on forms must be the same as illustrated by actual difference in information requirements and references to delegates to the national convention only on 24.2-545. It seems to me that this could very well be a case of political skullduggery/manipulation.
No mistake about it. The Establishment GOP™ is really scared and is pulling all the stops for Mitt Rino. Its like the battle of the bulge during WWII. It looked like a catastrophe for us but actually it was desperation move on the part of the wehrmacht
