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.

Richmond, Virginia (CNN) - Newt Gingrich is campaigning in his home state Thursday after collecting 10,000 signatures needed to get on Virginia’s primary ballot.

According to his campaign, they met the threshold yesterday but Gingrich told party faithful at a state GOP fundraising breakfast they expect to deliver petitions this afternoon with anywhere from 12,000-14,000 signatures.

A Gingrich spokesperson said the visit to Virginia was to help “push us over the top” and demonstrate the campaign’s ground game capabilities compared to well-funded Mitt Romney.

“It’s a demonstration that Gingrich is outrunning Romney in states beyond Iowa,” said press secretary R.C. Hammond.

As all of the Republican presidential candidates race to meet Virginia’s Thursday deadline, a new poll out Wednesday shows Gingrich topping Romney in the state ( http://on.cnn.com/w09wtS).

The Virginia primary is on March 6, Super Tuesday.
