there was a time years ago when sabato was a relatively reasonable voice on VA politics. now he’s just a towel boy for the liberals.

If Newt is interested in becoming president he needs to pay greater attention to the campaign and less attention to his high maintenance wife (shopping at Tiffany's, going back to DC to hear her sing in the church choir, etc.).

Disastor?! Hardly. Sabato wishes. A Romneybot has a premature prognostication.

Sometimes it feels like there is a concerted effort to throw away this election on the part of all participants in the Republican establishment

[Lib-Lickers 2]

hey Virginia if this decision is final then vote for chicken neck Ron Paul(no way he is nominated)and deny Mittens Virginia’s delegates

[AdaGray]

If the RINO establishment thinks I will vote for Romney just because he has the best ground game, they are sorely mistaken.

Larry Sabato: Run-of-the-mill UVA establishment butt kisser. ... and bad hair-piece to boot.

The Gingrich campaign said it would work with the Republican Party of Virginia to pursue a write-in campaign, but Virginia does not allow write-in names in its primaries.

Unless this is fixed, Virginia's delegates should not be allowed to vote at the convention.

You know I really have a problem with how this is reported. LSM keeps saying they failed to submit the number of signatures needed.

That is false. Both Perry and Newt submitted more than 11,000 signatures, and only 10,000 were required. The GOP verification process disqualified so many signature due to address discrepancies that both candidates lost too many votes.

What we do not know is who were the people verifying the lists. Were they Romney supporters, Ron Paul supporters etc.

We also do not know if any one was watching the checkers. We don't know what kind of discrepancies were tossed out. If software was used, was it so specific that it would not accept lower case letters instead of Capitals, or abbreviations, 9 letter zip instead of 5?

Too many unknowns to make informed decisions. Could even been that some of the volunteers just wanted to sabotage one ore both candidates. Lots of possibilities. Not enough facts known for sure.

My personal view is that I don’t give a crap about this whole charade.

I’m not voting for Romney.

Why had the RPV not checked and matched addresses in prior primaries? Thousands of Virginia voters signed the petition in good faith, and now their intention is ignored by the state - a move that is beyond me. Perry and Gingrich both had over 10,000 signatures, and for some reason the RPV found about 2,000 signatures in each case without matching addresses. So now the voters of Virginia have a needlessly limited choice in the GOP primary: their choice is limited to one of two candidates, the flip-flopper or the kook.
