Oh noes! This isn't good for these guys!

3:09 a.m. | Updated Newt Gingrich will not appear on the Virginia presidential primary ballot, state Republican Party officials announced Saturday, after he failed to submit the required number of valid signatures to qualify.

Looks like Newt's 26 point lead in VA went up in smoke.

The good news is is won't hurt their book sales or future prospects working for Fox News.
 
I'm not surpirsed at Newt-he runs a very top down campaign and underfunded/understaffed. He has already burnt through numerous professional staffers who would have prevernted this sort of fiasco. Example: Newt made a very public last minute flight to VA to personally turn in the petitions-a staffer could have done this routine task more efficiently and far cheaper.

I am surprised at Perry's failure, though. He has a huge, very professional staff flooded with cash. Sounds like the weak support for Perry has just totally evaporated.

As an aside, those requirements just to be on the ballot for a primary seem mighty strict to me.

There is an investigation into possible petition fraud in one county in Indiana that our favorite cybrtroll has inflated into a statewide scandal that he imagines is bringing down the entire state Democratic Party.

His thread on the subject is here
 
Wow, they can't follow the path even when the waypoints are fucking spelled out for them, and they think they're qualified to be President?
 
I think Dr. Paul will do well in VA across the board. I believe he's popular in NoVA, and no one in my part of the State would vote for an LDS member.
 
oops.

I imagine Newt isn't being very nice nor keeping it "positive" with his campaign peoples right about now.

Polls say your wrong:
You can add Virginia to the list of states where Newt Gingrich has a huge lead in the Republican Presidential race. He's at 41% there to 15% for Mitt Romney with no one else in double digits. Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry at 8%, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul at 6%, Jon Huntsman at 3%, and Gary Johnson at 1% round out the field.
