I would fight for VA ballot access but nevertheless..

As soon as Bachmann, Santorum, and to a lesser extent, Perry drop out...Newt WILL dominate!

Thanks for the ping, onyx.

This smells like establishment chicanery. There’s nothing quite like overt manipulation to rally the base.

Merry Christmas, all!
