It’s not every county, it’s every congressional district. There are 11 congressional districts, so that covers 4400 of the required signatures.

The only problem this year was that the district boundaries changed, and some might not have known where they belonged.

That’s why it’s so good to collect signatures at the polling places. First, you know they are registered, because they just came out from voting. Second you know they are in the district, because they just came out from voting in the district.

I wouldn’t have thought it was hard, but 6 still-competing candidates out of 8 failed to do it. SO maybe it’s harder than I thought.

(Bachmann, Huntsman, Gingrich, Perry, Santorum, Roemer).

You'd think it wouldn't be hard - Gingrich had 9 months, Perry had 6 months. For Gingrich, that's just over 1,500 signatures a month to collect (for a comfortable buffer), for Perry, just under 2,300 signatures a month.

But apparently Ron Paul and Romney are the only ones that took VA seriously.

Very disappointing.
