"A Gingrich campaign official prior to the move by the Republican Party of Virginia said the problem is how the rules are set up, arguing that the party is, for apparently the first time, cross-checking the addresses that signature-givers gave against the electronic voter database file for accuracies. A name without a proper address match was tossed, the official said."

Thanks! You too myFRiened! Let’s join forces and make this work where it counts! (And a very Merry Christmas to you and your good family!)

Huck was my guy last time and there were many on the VA ballot :)

Virginia Republican primary, 2008

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

The 2008 Virginia Republican primary took place on February 12, 2008. This was an open primary with 63 delegates (60 pledged delegates) at stake in a winner take all format. The District of Columbia and Maryland both held primaries on the same day, referred to as the "Potomac primary".

John McCain won the primary, receiving all of Virginia's delegates to the 2008 Republican National Convention.

Official Results Candidate Votes Percentage Delegates

John McCain 244,829 50.04% 60

Mike Huckabee 199,003 40.67% 0

Ron Paul 21,999 4.50% 0

Mitt Romney* 18,002 3.68% 0

Fred Thompson* 3,395 0.69% 0

Rudy Giuliani* 2,024 0.41% 0

Total 489,252 100% 60

If they collected only 20+ over what they needed, then yes, this was amateur hour.

[lonestar]

You are a Cain supporter.

Cain couldn't keep his pants on.

[onyx]

Yep. I agree with you.

Merry Christmas, Nervous Tick!!!

“It’s not just Gingrich, but also Perry, so a challenge will surely be in order.”
And they’ll lose. The VA gop took the rule book and beat them to death with it. VA courts aren’t particularly receptive to these kinds of arguments.

Yes, and Americans aren't particularly tolerant of bureaucrats.
*************

Life, not just intolerance of crats, but Court's favor participation. Look at liberal Florida SpCt in 2000, or conservative Alaska SpCt in 2010— always siding with voter inclusion.

Imo, the Va Court will allow time for verification- if not, the complainants will find a way to bring it into the Fed system. IMO, the omitted candidates have the better argument.

YOOHOO!

“P” told me on another thread that he is indeed filing a legal challenge to this stupidity.

You know all about the “Rules are Rules” stupidity that was flooding that thread. “P” will have a better platform here among all us “Newt Worshippers”! (LOLOLOLOLOLO)

[mylife]

Watch Va try to apply some arbitrary filing dead line like 24 hrs, during the Christmas holiday in hopes that a challenge can be disqualified because the campaigners were at home with the family rather than filing legal challenges on Christmas eve.

[chickenlips]

Let’s see Bob McDonnell is being mentioned a s potential Romney running mate...hmmm? Well, if the other candidates can’t get on the ballot, then make sure Romney gets as few delegates as possible. Vote for Ron Paul. ( I never, never, NEVER, ever thought I would write those last 4 words!)

[mylife]

Merry Christmas to you my FRiend!

[BenKenobi]

He’s getting close to his golden anniversary. Personally, I trust Gloria to keep him in line.

BTW, how’s that third marriage working out for Newt, “good thing I signed the adultery pledge now” Gingrich.

[Nervous Tick]

Thanks, onyx! And a blessed and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

FRegards

[Salvation]

What if the database was wrong?

Is there an appeals procedure?

[onyx]

You’ve made your point more than a couple of times, BenKenobi.

It’s time to move on and stop spoiling for arguments on Christmas Eve.

[onyx]

Well, all right!!!
Good news!

[greeneyes]

“P” told me on another thread that he is indeed filing a legal challenge to this stupidity.”

Is that “P” as in Perry?

OH MY GOSH! Please NO!

VA is a red state. If it's a database screw-up, then I would think VA would want to remedy to allow both Gingrich and Perry on the ballots, right?

[null and void]

Indeed!!! Its one thing to double check a Lyndon LaRouche type, another to check a former Speaker and a Governor of Texas.

You would trust any politician because why?
