I’m a fan of Bachmann, Santorum, and Cain. I am not a fan of Romney, Gingrich, Perry, or Ron Paul.
That being said, I don’t really have any sympathy for the folks who didn’t get on the Virginia ballot. If Romney and Paul could do it, then I’m thinking the other candidates could have done it too.
Virginia’s Republican Party has the right to run their election process as they see fit. If Romney and Paul could comply with it’s dictates, then the other candidates could have as well.
All this whining after the cut-off is annoying. If your team isn’t capable of complying with state party requirements, what does that say about your team, or you?
We talk all the time about voter fraud here, and we want to see things cleaned up. Then when a state’s political party does and requires folks to be registered at the address on file, some of us get upset about it.
Why? Frankly, I’m glad Virginia is enforcing strict rules.
This wasn’t a vote, it was a petition. I have never heard any conservative complain about “too many” people being on a ballot. We support freedom and free choice, not elites making our decisions for us. Sticking up for what the Virginia Republican party is doing is about as unconservative a position as I can think of.
