To me, this seems like a concerted effort by someone to disqualify anyone that would be a serious threat to Mitt. It’s just all too coincidental. I could be wrong but it just seems strange.
UPDATE (1:31am): ”Soon…” this will be over. Still doesn’t sound good for Newt.Well Newt fans... Get ready...
I agree with you, this seems pretty odd that all at once, nobody qualifies.
I don’t remember this happening in 2008.
I don’t care what anybody says, if the GOP in Virginia has a primary with only Romney and Paul on the ballot they will look stupid as can be.
Not sure what all this is about signatures and addresses and I understand that rules are rules. Says something about campaign staffs if they couldn’t get this simple requirement completed.
STILL....the rest of the country will see Virginia as being ridiculous. Or, as you pointed out, orchestrated to end exactly like this.
Below, my take on why Newt’s a good candidate to be the GOP nominee:

I stand by Newt. But this is not Virginia’s fault. Why didn’t they get the signatures ? They could have with very little effort.
