"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."

Vindicated?
I was for conservative Palin, but Rove & Co. joined hands with the liberals to drive her out. I was for conservative Bachmann, but Rove & Co. drove her out. I was for conservative Cain, but Rove & Co joined with the liberals to drive him out. I could’ve supported conservative Perry had he been able to overcome his foot in mouth affliction, but I’m sure Rove & Co. would’ve driven him out too. I didn’t like Gingrich because of his well known baggage, but after he rose to the top, found it curious and so looked deeper. Turns out that despite the baggage and some missteps and unlike Romney he actually is a pro-life Reaganite with a great record of actual conservative accomplishments and he is well liked by the conservative base and the tea partyers. Am just starting to warm up to him and now we get the familiar old RINO Rove & Co refrain. Well, hell no!! We are not going to allow Rove and the establishment elite ruling class drive away yet another leading conservative candidate!
Time to muscle up and fight the corrupt RINO bastards!!
They will not be allowed to keep Gingrich off the ballot!!
They will not be allowed to disenfranchise millions of conservative voters!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
The Fix is in—Its Mittens or Ron Paul all others need not apply. They must select someone Obama can beat.
Republicans have the governor’s seat, the attorney general etc. in Virginia and the GOP sets the rules for its own primary, the Rats aren’t running the show.
The fingerprints of the RINO insider establishment are all over this.
Rove! You Magnificent Bast*rd! You did it again. Let no one doubt that the GOP can play dirty when they want to but can they beat Obama? Do they even want to?
You can always count on the Rove types to play dirty with real conservatives in the GOP.
Because it was done by the REPUBLICAN party.
I'm under the impression that "voter-vault" isn't worth a crap.
You’ve got it right and the news was put out on the weekend of Christmas to dampen the criticism from the grassroots including talk show hosts who aren’t broadcasting this time of year.
Do you really not see the difference between signatures to get a candidate on a ballot and VOTING? Really?

Yes, vindicated.
I warned people that when Cain went down they would just move on to the next person.
It was crucial to keep Cain in the race, because for once, we would have someone who would stand up for himself and say, no. Not this time.
We draw the line, it gets crossed. We draw the line, it gets crossed, we draw the line, it gets crossed.
And here we are, staring down the barrels of the same enemies, still trying to sneak Mitt through.
I want a real conservative. I want somebody who’s willing to stand up for me. I’m just the little guy. I’m not the beltway insider, who’s been a member of the elite for the past 20 years. I’m not the guy who’s even seen the inside of the chambers of power.
I want a candidate who’s been there. Who’s cleaned the toilets, who’s done the dirty, thankless jobs without which this country would not run.
What has Newt done? Has he served in the military, like McCain and Bush? No. Has he owned and operated his own private business? No.
The million dollar question for me, is this. The line that Obama crossed with Obamacare must be driven back. Not soon, but now.
We must get him out of the whitehouse before he has a chance to do 4 more years of damage, damage, like with Wilson, that may never get undone.
Is Newt the man you trust to push for the repeal of O-Care when elected? Or is he going to come up with his own brilliant plan.
That’s the question I want to know Jim Rob. His performance in VA indicates to me that Newt does not have what it will take to fight to repeal Obamacare.
Perry - dismantled planned parenthood in TX. That is huge. That’s 167 clinics that no longer funnel money to fund abortion in the largest abortion provider in America.
We have options. We have choices still.
But if our choices are Newt, Romney and Obama, we are stuck in a three card monte, where in all three cases, we will get stuck with Obamacare.
This is why I cannot support him, JimRob.
I wouldn’t doubt for a second that Willard was behind this...
Prior and contemporary enlisted-type military service members might tend to move more than most, and civilian government employees don’t like us much.
Not just him, the entire Republican Establishment. They care more about wielding power than doing what's best for the country. As such, they hate conservatives.
Thanks for the ping, onyx.
This smells like establishment chicanery. There’s nothing quite like overt manipulation to rally the base.
Merry Christmas, all!
I am going to be emailing my local state reps and expressing my displeasure at them. If they want my money and my support they better step in and fix this. Also, the next mass meeting the locals are having are going to get raided also. The local Rinos like having their nice little quiet party meetings and don’t like any outsiders interfering with them and now it’s time for a change.
Not quite sure why so many people think Gingrich is a Conservative. The guy cheated on his wife, made a kissy kissy TV ad with psychopath Pelosi, is pro Illegal Alien and doesn’t have a prayer in beating Obama. He doesn’t stand a chance. It’s going to be McCain all over again.
Who's your candidate?
Was a huge supporter of Cain until he dropped out. Still prefer Bachmann, Perry and Santorum, however they are done. Can’t stand Ron Paul because of his dangerous ignorance on Iran. Between Newt and Romney, I prefer Romney because he will get the votes to beat Obama. Gingrich will LOSE to Obama.
