Former congressman Virgil Goode Jr. has qualified for the presidential ballot in Virginia, the State Board of Elections ruled Tuesday, adding a potential obstacle to Republican Mitt Romney’s hopes of winning the pivotal state.
The state Republican party has already challenged the eligibility of Goode, who is the Constitution Party’s nominee, and could still get him knocked off the ballot.

Unfortunately, if we keep voting for RINOs then the GOP-e will keep nominating them. The third party is here now.
If nothing else, Goode's presence on the ballot will help keep Romney honest. There's a limit to how much he can shake the Etch-a-Sketch when there's a conservative running against him.
Is Goode really a conservative or is he a Soros/Obama stooge? If he is such a good conservative why doesn't he run against a liberal in an election lower on the ticket instead of running a race he can't possibly win and his only effect will be to help Obama win Virginia and the presidency.
Anyone who thinks as you do has not paid attention. Obama has all ready made it clear he plans to rule by decree if he is reelected. We don’t have the luxury of being purists this year. You have a choice to live on your feet or die on your knees. Goode is a useless fool who does ONE thing, help elect Obama.
Yeah he’s going to keep Romeny “honest”, sure that’s the way to do it.
This guy must be an absolute creep of a stealth disruptor, who with no chance of being elected whatsoever would endeavor to deliver a key state to Obama.
And fools are going to tell us what a great service this is?
We really have zero time for this nonsense. Virgil Goode is an absolute nothing burger except maybe he can reelect a communist president.
We have a de facto binary political system. If you are a potiential Romney voter and vote for goode, you are voting for 0bama - in the same way the FL Nader voters selected W in 00.
Goode is a former democrat during the 1990’s...nuff said.
Great! (not)
Well, if voting for Goode re-elects Obama, then we can all watch him try to make that $16T national debt $32T by 2016. I’m giving good odds he can do it!

Goode is a former rat congressman. He’ll likely pull more voters from Obama than Romney.
There’s also this:
Rep. Virgil Goode allowed the producer of a gay erotic film to use his district phone line to promote the film:

Goode will split the pervert vote.
R&R will take Virginia ;)
That is an excellent point! If 3rd party candidate is sincere about actually winning, run in a race they can win. Otherwise, they are purposefully being a spoiler.
This election is realistically between a Republican whom is far more conservative than the marxist incumbent.
It’s Obama v. Romney. Romney is the only way we defeat Obama. No, he wasn’t my choice in the primary.
This Virgil Goode only serves to help Obama. Ryan served with Goode in Congress. Perhaps he can convince him to drop out of the race or the ballot in VA.
Reagan was a former democrat.
Reagan was President when Goode was a Democrat.
The third party is here now.

I disagree. This is nothing more than the help elect Obama party.
Oh noes the sky is falling. I'm so beyond tired of fear tactics for votes. Perhaps the gay old party can come up with decent candidates instead of sandbagging them and forcing the likes of Dole, Mccain't, Romney, and Bush (George, George, and Jeb)
You have a choice to live on your feet or die on your knees.
Third option, I'll walk on my own two feet and when the time comes die with a rifle in my arms.
Goode’s presence on the ballot will keep Romney honest? Good grief. We all know what it will really do -— take away GOP votes. I don’t like RINOs either, but let us at least agree here to speak the truth about political reality.
Bush won in 2000 thanks to votes siphoned off by Ralph Nader. Nader didn’t keep Gore honest.
This country is going to have an economic collapse if Obama gets 4 more years. I don’t know if Romney can save it, but at least we’d have a shot. That means more government control, martial law, shut down of talk radio, censorship of the internet, food and energy shortages, and rationing. Five million more illegal alien voters for the RATS will rig the game for a generation. Thinking that another Reagan will come from the Obama disaster is folly. We may well not have a country left.
Goode's party will have no impact whatsoever outside of Virginia. Unfortunately for Romney (and America) losing Virginia could be all it takes to give Obama a second term.
Goode and those supporting his crusade are fools (unless these supporters are democrats, in which case they know exactly what they're doing).

“Reagan was a former democrat.”
But not a former rat congressman who took orders from Pelosi for over a decade.
