There are a few things here that, taken together, don’t make any sense.
The GOP, for the very first time, used a computer to verify the names with the addresses. All petitions of Gov.Perry’s and Newt Gingrich’s were thrown out as being ineligible submissions (this is per statements on another thread).
Did Romney and Paul have their petitions scanned? If not, was it because they met the below requirement?
“So the letter sez 15K signatures with 600 at least in each district. any of us could get more than that using 5 other people and do so in less than 30 days. Why didn’t these National Candidates?”
Good question! There is no date on the letter, so it isn’t apparent when this requirement was set. But neither Perry nor Gingrich have run for national office in VA before like Ron Paul has, and neither are multi-millionaires with attendent legions of lawyers working for them. Their campaign managers may not have known about the requirement or, more likely, overlooked it.
Furthermore, what is to prevent a wannabe candidate from submitting large numbers of names and addresses from phone books, many fraudulent as they will not be registered Republicans, just so their petitions won’t be audited?
Anyone suspicious about a fix being in here?

Very appropriate picture:
And that's exactly how he would see this RINO fiasco.

It tells me he didn't respect the Virginians enough to get the signatures necessary to comply with the state rules. Certainly you don't expect them to bend their regs that have been on the books for ten years just for him?

It tells me the elite establishment RINOS heading up the Virginia GOP think they can walk all over the rank and file conservative base and that they have absolutely zero respect for their constituents and voters. Eff ‘em!! Time to kick the RINO bastards OUT!!

I have no favorite,and find reasons for each to support or not, but have always been one to abide by the rules and regulations which apply to me. This Virginia primary rule, as I have read, has been on the books for more than ten years. Now you want them to bend the rule for your man. I don't think so. The fault is with Gingrich, not Virginia.

Time for a little rebellion in Virginia. In days gone by (and not so long ago) it would’ve been time for some good old fashioned tar and feathers.

Listen, you fricken idiot, Gingrich is the LEADING Republican candidate in Virginia and the nation. They will NOT be able to keep him off the ballot!!
What part of rebellion do you not understand?

Well then, what they have to do is band together and vote for Paul. Let Ron Paul win VA and slow Romney down and that’s the only way they can help Newt at this juncture.

It tells me he didn't respect the Virginians enough to get the signatures necessary to comply with the state rules.A statement from Newt was posted on another thread in which he stated that he had in excess of 12,000 signatures in Virginia. What we don't know conclusively is why several thousand signatures were rejected. The rules haven't changed, but the way the rules were administered apparently DID change. We need answers, but one thing is certain-it has nothing to do with whether Newt "respects" the people of Virginia.

Blame the Republican Party of Virginia for this folks. The DemocRATS in VA wanted to cut the number of required signatures in half; from 10,000 to 5,000 but the VA GOP and the Republican controlled State legislature didn’t go for it. They had the power to change it and didn’t.

I like that but have you considered Sue Martinez, the Gov. or New Mexico as a possible VEEP?
