Had to excerpt the blurb AP article. The article further says Santo is not on the Arkansas ballot, but he is expected to file for ballot eligibility soon.

That's great news, hope that works out.

I don't understand why more people are not helping Newt.

Did Rush even bring up Newt and his AZ debate performance?

I find the process of primaries crazy. First I think everyone should be on all 50 state ballots if they are running. Second 25,000 dollars to get on the ballot? Crazy!!! I imagine the more intelligent FREEPERS will have a more indepth understanding of this process, but this average voter find this insane!

Rush described Newt’s performance in one instance as “Brilliant,” and I think he said in another segment that Newt was “Fabulous.”

If you’re polling great in a state and you want on, why not?

Btw, just in.. more bad news for Willard Romney’s liberal quest for the nomination:

ARG Michigan 2012 GOP Primary Poll

Rick Santorum 38% [37%] (33%)
Mitt Romney 34% [32%] (27%)
Ron Paul 12% [15%] (12%)
Newt Gingrich 7% [10%] (21%)
Other 1% [1%] (1%)
Undecided 8% [5%] (6%)

And the cost of filing for a Democrat is what? $25.00?

I am really curious how his numbers are going to be in a few days. Lots of negative on his debate from MSM jerks.

This is just the craziest election I have ever seen. Well that is until the BUSH/GORE fiasco, but that was solved.
