I just love when some (this is not directed to you Nodems) FR’s post their ignorance of the electoral process with airhead postulations without first learning what the facts are. Remember the buzz going around because Gingrich left Iowa and headed back to his Virginia home ? He was running around trying to get on the Virginia ballot.

Gimgrich has been around long enough to know to submit 10-20% more signatures than required which I understand he did.. What he failed to get is 400 signatures from each of the states congressional districts which is peculiar to Virginia. If I’m right he might also have had to put up a candidate delegate for that district. And that has yet to be confirmed.

That’s the problem you run into when you make a presidential bid and you have limited funds and why some of these candidate start running years earlier than the election.... The process is geared to the rich and connected..

I thought Newt was going back to Virginia to hear Callista sing in the church choir.

This isn't the first time this has happened. Newt will not be on the Missouri ballot because he filed late. He almost missed being on the Ohio ballot.

I don’t see how either of those two stipulations would eliminate Newt. He’s definitely in the “one percent” and in the Virginia/D.C. area, he’s definitely connected.

The reason Newt has limited funds is that he spent like a drunken sailor in the early days of his campaign and now has to use what he is raising to keep the creditors from breathing down his neck.
