You are right and it is not only Newt that has shown a lack of organization and a grassroots organization. GOP candidates fail to get on some primary ballots
If some of these candidates fail to comply with state requirements to get on the ballot, then how serious are they about running for President and can they really run a national campaign against Obama?
Personally, I think that a number of the candidates never thought they were going to get the nomination and were in the race for various personal reasons. There is no excuse for Newt, Perry, Santorum, Huntsman, and Bachmann not to be on the VA ballot. Santorum, Bachmann, and Huntsman never even made an attempt at gathering signatures and submitting a petition to get on the ballot.
Sad,but you gotta admit VA was a cluster....of monumental proportions.
