It's the difference between organization and...well, Newt Gingrich...who doesn't even have fucking phones in his office yet. He wasn't seriously running and the fact that he had a brief stint at the top took him by surprise (not to mention all the people whose memories haven't been destroyed by drugs or alcohol).
Paul-Heads are VERY dedicated and have been doing this a very long time.
The only other candidate, besides Newt, Paul and Romney, that submitted signatures was the Little Dummer boy, Perry. Since Perry has already run such a stellar campaign to date, you really want to put the blame for his foibles on the VA GOP? Really?
I would put that on them, yeah. Seriously, I have to wonder why they are putting up so many hurdles, to be honest.
You know, I think it's kind of funny that the people defending the GOP loudest here are Democrats.
I mean, it's almost like you want Romney to be the nominee, even though you claim he is the only 'serious' contender who stands a chance against Hussien.
It's not about offense or defense, it's about not being able to see the facts beyond your hate of Romney.
I'm speaking to you as a far left liberal loon that wants President Obama to have a 2nd term in office. Romeney is the only candidate in your field that even concerns me a little bit and that isn't very much.
Gingrich is dropping in the polls because people are waking up and saying "oh yeah, that guy". Perry is dead because he is a dope. None of the other candidates even submitted any signatures.
Democrats aren't "defending Romeney" by pointing out that your conspiracy theory doesn't hold water...they are just being Democrats.
Look, you are not running for school board, you want to be President of the United States.
You are not even organized enough to get 10,000 valid signatures?
Typical Republicans.....blame the system for your own laziness and incompetence
Actually they submitted less valid signatures then were required. If he had submitted 20% more qualified signatures than required he would be on the ballot.
Virginia law requires the submission of 10,000 (with 400 from each district) signatures of qualified voters. He could have submitted 1,000,000 signatures - but if he didn't have the 400 required from each district, they would be immaterial.
Why do people keep ignoring the 400 from each district requirement? If a major portion of signatures were gathered at the last minute from DC area rallies, then it's logical to assume they would have have had difficulty meeting the other part of the requirement.

Probably because its a ridiculous requirement. Trying to rustle up 400 Republicans in a DC exburb district where they are just waiting for their welfare check is a difficult requirement.
Five GOP candidates fail to qualify for Virginia primary ballot « 2012 Election CentralIn a huge blow to the Gingrich, Perry, Bachmann, Santorum and Huntsman campaigns, all of them have failed to meet the required 10,000 registered voter signature petition requirement to appear on the Virginia primary ballot taking place March 6, 2011. Mitt Romney and Ron Paul have qualified for the primary. Republican presidential candidates Michele Bachmann, Jon Huntsman and Rick Santorum failed to qualify for the Virginia ballot, according to state GOP officials.
Four candidates former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) turned in thousands of signatures by the deadline.

Your state is CRAP--when you can eliminate 6 out of 8 GOP candidates--my final word--is FU--& it's no wonder you live next door to Washington D.C.

Bachmann, Santorum and Huntsman didn't even try to get on the ballot.
Show us where they even HANDED IN any signatures. G'head.
One of your "8 candidates" -- DROPPED OUT.
That leaves TWO - two that fucked up and didn't even get 15,000 votes (a safe buffer) in a state of nearly 4 million registered voters.
That's .003% - when they had MONTHS to do so, and it was the busiest time of the year to solicit signatures.
What the hell does THAT tell you?

Most people would consider 120-150% of the requirement to be fine.
Republican candidates have better things upon which to spend their time and resources than campaigning in a Republican controlled state that will vote for anyone who is not a Democrat in 2012.
They barely got over 10% more. Stop lying.Or they thought- "We got 20% more than the law requires, that should be enough."
I think they didn't anticipate the desperation the national GOP has to get Romney nominated over the wishes of 75% of the Republican electorate.

maybe if newt didn't spend so much time on his book tour?

What do all five of these men have in common?
That only makes sense if you think no other republican should try and challenge those who comply with the VA ballot requirements.??Republican candidates have better things upon which to spend their time and resources than campaigning in a Republican controlled state that will vote for anyone who is not a Democrat in 2012.
That doesn't even make sense.
I'll slow down for you then.
The Commonwealth of VA (that's short for Virginia) is republican
The VA House of Delegates is republican
The VA Senate is republican (the Lt Governor votes Republican for tie votes in the split senate)
So Let's review: VA is ALREADY controlled by Republicans.
Republican candidates have LIMITED RESOURCES
VA Repubs have ALREADY chosen their candidate, and they've told him not to waste resources in VA.

This still makes no sense. Are you saying that VA republicans have already chosen Gingrich? So how are they supposed to vote for him if he's not even on the ballot?
