Question: Does any one know why Newt isn’t challenging this? Wouldn’t there be strength in numbers?

Why only Perry?

Why only Perry?

I think it is because Newt's campaign probably realizes that this was an internal party screwup.

He says he’s going to get write-in signatures: fat chance!

I just found this info (I don’t know how it plays into this).

WASHINGTON, D.C. —

A person hired to collect names to get Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on the ballot for the Virginia primary turned in fraudulent signatures, Gingrich says.

“We hired somebody who turned in false signatures. We turned in 11,100 — we needed 10,000 — 1,500 of them were by one guy who frankly committed fraud,” Gingrich told a woman at a campaign stop in Algona, Iowa.

Because anything Newt does is considered “negative.” I say the Republican voters of Virginia file a class action lawsuit, protest or something. I can’t get over that 5 out of the 7 candidates won’t be on the ballot. The stink isn’t getting any better.

Newt said they hired somebody that turned in some fraudulent signatures, plus I read liberals were crossing over and playing games, and when the GOP went to verify the signatures, they were invalid.

It's irritating, but you know what? Even if the Virginia GOP never verified signatures before, any candidate should expect that the signatures they collect will be verified in some manner. Otherwise, it leaves the primaries wide open to being manipulated, and Ron Paul supporters and liberals are known to pull this kind of crap.
