Everyone in Virginia that isn’t a Mitt supporter will be supporting Newt if they vote in the VA primary

Virginia needs to go on a massive "write in" campaign.

It would likely be highly successful since this is a case of state level skulduggery to shut candidates out.

I have an idea Virginians may take umbrage at that...

Write-in is not an option in the primary. I don’t think it was skullduggery, as 2 candidates were able to do it and they aren’t even from Virginia.

Using twitter can be very effective. For example, someone on FR said Santorum is not on the ballot in x, y, z states. I tweet out that he can't win if not on the ballot in x,y,x don't waste your vote. I used hash tags of everything to get the tweet on lists. I gained about 25 followers after that tweet. Now I have more I can educate.

You can also pull up a name such as Sarah Palin, and then follow all kinds of people who follower her. This adds to your list of followers and then more to educate.

Once primary is over, I plan to hold nose and add liberal followers. They really need to be educated.

What would be nice is if FR had one main tweet account that we could follow. Tweets from FR to FR can then be shared to those not on FR. I know there are some FRs who are tweeting, but coordinating so we can get messages out to max people would save time. It would be easy to start a twitter campaign to write in Newt in VA. Just need to push it on Twitter to Newt, Palin, Cain, Perry, anyone but Mitt fans.

I don’t think they allow write ins but you may be able to go through the process and cast a blank ballot, or no vote. If a much larger number of people voted than cast ballots for paul and Romney it would be telling.
