Ill tell you whats pissing me off. Why is the News Media, FReepers and the blogs all saying Newt and Perry didnt make the ballot? The fact is, Bachmann, Santorum, Huntsman, Gingrich, and Perry ALL didnt make the ballot. And Ill happily tell you why they are only referencing two...because if you focus on all five , then the STANDARD becomes the story instead of Perry and Newt and the quest to make them appear incompetant. excellent point...that is the first thing I thought when I saw this

On VA primary day, Ill go into the booth, observe that the only choices are RuPaul and Myth, and choose neither.If you are unhappy with the listed choices, write in the name of your desired candidate.

If you are unhappy with the listed choices, write in the name of your desired candidate. No write-ins allowed in VA primaries.

So the only guys on the ballot are Romney and Paul? Sounds like a set-up!

“Apparently, the lack of addresses cost both Gingrich and Perry. “
**************
If just addressses, the omitted candidates could be succesful with a Court challenge. Courts generally rule that the law doesnt “elevate form over substance”. Beyond that, they usually rule in favor of voter participation. If the petition omissions are purely technical (e.g. no addresses) the omitted candidates should go to Court as a class- and request relief that they be allowed to amend the petitions to include the addresses. (Dont think one can add names at this point).
All omitted candidates must join- cant be just one. That will leave Romney and the State GOP to argue against inclusion not a great argument when likely 70% of the GOP voters favor other candidates.

"Is there any other alternate scenario"
1. Advocate for and contribute to the candidate of your choice.
2. When it's your turn to vote, vote for the most conservative candidate that you believe has a chance to win.
3. In the general vote for anybody but Obama.

BINGO!
I believe that the Cain controversy originated in the White House also.
The White House was really, really, really, afraid of Cain.

The Virginia electorate is responsible for those they put into office, who make Virginia laws. “Rude” isn’t the word I would choose, rather “ill-conceived.”
One would certainly assume that supporters of Bachmann, Perry, Gingrich, Santorum would be sufficiently irate to see the need to make major changes, but that is their call.
Unfortunately, Romney’s money has taken advantage of Virginia law, and it may affect us all.

When it's your turn to vote, vote for the most conservative candidate that you believe has a chance to win. So, as a Virginian, which one should I choose?

I anticipate both Perry and Gingrich are already looking into their options, despite the statement released by Gingrich's campaign.

Perry, Gingrich, Huntsman, Bachmann, and Santorum Fail to Make Ballot Virgina, solid blue State.
Virgina, GOP/RPV verification reports only Mittwitt and Ron makes the cut.
Yeah... OK.
Nothing surprising about that.
Time for GOP to be gutted.

Fox news said this morning the Perry campaign is pursuing their legal options in Va. If the VA GOP capitulates look for Romney to whine like he did at the debates. "Mr. Moderator! Mr. Moderator! Can we please follow the rules?"

Yeah, let’s all blame Romney for reading the rules and abiding by them. If Newt, et al. can’t get it together enough to do the same, then we don’t need their pitiful asses pretending to run a country.

"So, as a Virginian, which one should I choose? "
Are you a member of the Virginia GOP?
Do you know your Precinct Chairman?
Vote for his opponent at the next party election.
