    Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry failed to submit enough valid signatures to qualify for the Virginia primary ballot, state GOP officials said Friday evening.

    What he means is that in terms of money raised, organizations in place in early-voting states and policy proposals in the pipeline, everything is on track.

After the economic speech, Perry will tackle border security, foreign policy and government reform. The package of...
