Occam Razor= “the simplest explanation is usually the correct one”

In this case, the democrats want Newt to win the republican nomination.

“In this case, the democrats want Newt to win the republican nomination.”

Are you always this simplistic?

The Smartest man in the room cannot follow the rules and get on the ballot? Rules are for losers! It's the rules fault of course. That is why Romney and Paul made it in??

I bet this is gonna cost Gingrich some serious coin and favors up the road.

The media’s ‘Occam’s razor’ on this story:
“Democrat lawyer to make Republican elections fair.”

I hate our lying media.

CFTR got him for the publicity it would recieve, the fools.
And he probably begged them unmercifully for the job...

A few minutes ago on FNC’s Hannity Show (Mark Stein sitting in for Hannity), J.C. Watts just came out supporting Gingrich for the Republican nomination. No doubt that video clip will be posted on FR soon.:)

It’s really stupid of Virginia to do this. Gingrich is going to be on the ballots of all 57 states other than Virginia. And he’s leading the polls in Virginia. They are in fact disenfranchising the hundreds of thousands of voters who would mark their ballots for Gingrich. It’s unAmerican.

In 2008, Romney and Paul got less than 10% of the Virginia Republican presidential primary vote between them. Romney 18,000 and Paul 22,000. And that was out of almost 500,000 votes cast.

https://www.voterinfo.sbe.virginia.gov/election/data/2008/f88c865b-87ab-494e-8c2e-599fed2df7c6/unofficial/1_s.shtml

It’s beyond ridiculous to have these two losers as the only candidates allowed on the ballot when hundreds of thousands of Virginia Republican voters prefer others!! It’s criminally corrupt!!

Virginia is FUBAR!! Hope they get it rectified in time!!

In this case the RINOs are Bolling, McDonnell and Pat Mullins ~ and, of course, their running dog lackeys.

Newt followed the rules. Bolling engineered a change to them at the last minute.

Sorry, that's cheating.

Bolling must be punished, and so must Romney for refusing to allow his own "signatures" to be verified by independent examiners.

I like it.

At that moment, I was putting my Newt 2012 bumper sticker on my car.

Wonder if there’s a way to bring Paul’s constitutional perfectionist streak into some sort of teamwork with Gingrich’s mental powerhouse.

In their own ways, both represent important qualities, which are not mutually exclusive.

I think Paul is (inadvertently) keeping the Alinsky treatment from being focused on Gingrich at the moment.

Seems a good thing, to me.

Comparisons with Perot aren’t helpful.

The reason being, Perot was right.

Remember when it seemed silly, when he described the “giant sucking sound”?

Doesn’t seem to silly now, does it?
