4Zoltan: “So are you say Gingrich won’t be on the General Election ballot in Virginia?”
In my opinion, these are two very distinct cases. In the case of Gingrich, he was not deemed ineligible nor was his elgibility challenged. He merely failed to meet a rule that was define by the state - not the federal govenment.
In Georgia, Obama is challenged on his ability to meet the qualifications for office, not some state imposed sanction, and hence he would have to somehow prove his elgibility before the general election (assuming he wins the Democratic primary - which is most likely).
Just my 2cents worth...
That is pretty much my understanding as well.
