Newt didn’t plan for Virginia, therefore he planned to fail. If one actually started calling in for signatures 1 to 3 months before the deadline, that person could have made it, even if it was Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich’s failure says a lot about him. Seriously, a man who was once a speaker of the house now can’t bother actually planning his own campaign trail as well as a RINO can? What’s this all coming too? Are the GOP all a bunch of Romney supporters, or are they really this pathetic at organizing themselves? Gingrich should have quit and endorsed Santorum, but now the Putz practically handed the primaries over to Romney, who will have no problem saying, “Hey, Gingrich is all talk, remember how he couldn’t prepare himself for the Virginia ballot, and I won by default?” Even worse if you can imagine Romney’s voice saying these exact words.
They stand separate and apart from systems used elsewhere in this country. Whereas it should be relatively easy for Virginia (given its location) to attract major candidates to campaign here in Presidential primaries, we are actually just a dog hole. There's no reason for anyone to come here ~ not even state residents running for President.
