Blind eye. No doubt.

Is not making Virginia fatal to a campaign?

[no dems]

Is it a simple matter of lacking the resources to put people in the field collecting signatures

I’m thinking that’s got to be it.

I wish this chicken**** “primary” would hurry up and end. I’m sick of all this crap. Barry and the ‘RATS are laughing their asses off while the Republicans spend all day clobbering each other over the head with rubber chickens. “Hey Moe! Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!”

Huge massive GROAN

Just WOW............just..........wow..........

Well I hope there is a mistake in the numbers HA posted.

If they end up getting bounced, the Republican primary ballot for one of America’s key swing states will consist exclusively of … Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.

Then, just for the hell of it, I hope all the anti-Romney forces join together and vote for Kooky-dude and he wins the VA Primary and leaves Romney looking stupid.

In the immortal words of Nelson Muntz “ HA, HA!”

[ntnychik]

This is pathetic. This would never happen to 0bama. Ever. He has a history of disappearing his opponents’ signatures.

[Yankee]

This is why I wear my “I’m with stupid” t-shirt when I get around elected Republicans.

[hosepipe]

Sooooo the fix is in?....................

I mean no disrespect to any Freeper in Iowa or New Hampshire...but the existing system that empowers these two states is insane.

So the money and time that is spent in these two states makes the lesser candidates neglect a state like Virginia..that has more electoral votes than the other two combined. Unbelievable.

The primary process needs to change, imho.

[Smokin' Joe]

Interesting. So, fellow FReepers, in a contest between Willard and Ron Paul, who would you vote for?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You need 10,000 signatures to make the ballot but 15,000 are recommended since a bunch are bound to be thrown out as false or duplicative as the petitions are scrutinized.

We're not in Wisconsin anymore.

I was listening to Karl Rove talk about this and of course he took the opportunity to blast Newt about his poor organization and barely making it on time. He never once mentioned Bachmann, Santorum or Huntsman not making it at all. I just can’t stand the bias from that man. What a POS he has turned out to be. Organizations cost money and that is what it takes to put people on the ground and in this case collect signatures.

[central_va]

I live in Virginia. I hope I get a chance to vote for a Bachmann or a Santorum in the primaries. It would be nice to actually cast a vote for somebody that I agree with ideologically for once. Last time we had 2 people still running by the time VA got to vote McLame or Huckster.

I envy the Democrats, ALL their candidates are ideologically pure, i.e. radical socialists. The MSM sees to that and covers for them.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Wow, what a mess. And people are giving us crap about how we do things in Iowa!!

[cookcounty]

Virginia primary is March 6.....by then, usually, these things are decided....but it’s a weird year.

[AwesomePossum]

Fake signatures may mean Obama didn't actually qualify in Indiana

8:}

[Hoodat]

How in the heck can Santorum fail to make the ballot in his home state?

[RockinRight]

It seems odd that VA has higher standards than the other states...and so many didn’t make it.
