    Breaking: Perry Disqualified From VA Ballot; Newt likely out too

    Looks like VA will be Ron Paul vs. Romney!

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...ZNEP_blog.html

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

    Perry’s campaign told state election officials it had submitted 11,911 signatures, but a Virginia Republican familiar with the situation said that the Texas governor did not submit the required 10,000.

    Earlier Friday, the Republican Party of Virginia certified former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and Rep. Ron Paul (Tex.) to appear in the March ballot.

    newt had submitted a very low number of sigs.
    the waPo staff must be doing cartwheels now.

    Newt submitted even less than Perry, so if Perry is out, Newt likely is too.

    Newt's campaign said he filed 11,000. Perry said he filed almost 12000.

    Seeing as the other candidates don't even bother to fill out their paperwork, can't we just stop campaigning and spend the left over cash on cookies? I like cookies.

    "Oops."

    So in the grand scheme of things, what does it mean?

    so that means their supporters would have to write them in? What impact does this really have on a primary?

    Based on the past indiscrestions of this campaign in 2008 with issues like this and other issues that we might not know about - I would not cheer about this too much.

    Ballots should be accessible and we should prefer to win on the issues.

    Well it depends on if the race is still competitive by then. If Romney already has the nomination locked up by VA, Romney will win it handedly (at least 80%). If the nomination race is still competitive, I think it benefits us because we're the one and only anti-Romney. If by some miracle Romney is knocked out by VA (say he loses IA and NH), then we win the state and pick up a ton of delegates.

    In the 2008 primary Romney took just 4% of the vote in Virginia.
    Huckabee did well as did the status quo McCain (would be Newt voters). Lots of room for Paul growth in Virginia. Romney was obviously not favored here last time. Between Romney and Paul I think Paul could sweep VA. Lots of conservatives (look at the shaded areas that Huckabee took in '08), lots of homeschoolers. No corrupt Newt in the primary in VA would be awesome news for us. Many status quo folks in Northern VA (govt spending gravy train) and on the coast (military spending + welfare spending gravy train). More conservatives everywhere else.

    For some reason the link isn't showing- I'll break it to see if that works.

    If I'm reading this correctly, a two-man race means the delegate battle is essentially winner-take-all. Do we have a shot at winning outright, or would it be better to have Newt in there too to prevent anyone from getting 50%?

    I haven't heard too many brokered convention scenarios that sound great to me. If I heard brokered convention scenarios that sounded great, that would be different.

    LOL. I love the debate going on in there...

    "Ron Paul is anti-Israel"...

    "No he isn't, here is why"...

    "So Ron Paul is anti-Israel"...

    Leave it to neocons to never bring facts to a debate.

    Focus on delegates, that's all we new to focus on, The Heart of Nashville didn't get 1 district delegate before the deadline. Really unfortunate since Romney is putting all of his focus on this.

    How do signatures get disqualified during verification? This means at least 16% of Perry's signatures were no good.. ?

    No, but as I understand it, the deadline is being changed there. I think March is supposed to be the new deadline.

    Correct, the new law should come into effect in January. So far only Romney, perry and Grinch are on the Ohio ballot.

    Signatures have to be from registered voters only and the address they list on the petition form must match with their registered address.

    The deadline in Ohio got pushed back to December 30, not March.

    LOL! Romney and Paul are going to be the only ones mathematically able to win even before the first vote is cast!
    Let's move forward to the Constitution.. I am the new GOP. I stand with Rand.

    Nope, it's going to be in march.

    Maloney said that Ohio’s secretary of state, John Husted, encouraged all of the presidential candidates to make the deadline out of precaution, since the March filing deadline doesn’t apply until the new bill takes effect in January 2011.
