So VA going to hand the VA primary to Romney?
Depending upon how Gingrich comes out with valid signatures it will be either a two or three person primary contesting the 50 Virginia delegates.
Romney and Paul have qualified with Gingrich’s petitions being certified.
50 Virginia delegates up for grabs amongst the
Outrageous. Interesting how 1100 Perry ballots just disappeared. Bet Gingrich gained 1100. Va is where Newt lives .Everyone says Newt has NO State organizations. So who got all the signatures for him?????
Actually, I haven’t seen an RPV report on Paul yet, so I don’t know that HE has qualified. He did have a lot more signatures, but not enough to “automatically qualify”.
And frankly, while we were told Romney had 15,000 signatures, I believe the RPV still needed to simply COUNT them to see that there were 15,000 before they accepted them without verification. I don’t know if they did that or not.
Usually the RPV sends media advisories for each thing they do, and so far I’ve only seen 2 — one to say that signatures had been received by 4 candidates, and the 2nd to say Perry didn’t have enough.
Until I see RPV advisories for the rest, I don’t think we’ll know.
I would presume however that ROmney have 15,000 countable signatures, because he’s well-organized. And I’m pretty sure Paul will have enough valid signatures, his supporters are fanatics.
I’m pissed at Perry, just like I was pissed at Bachmann/Santorum. I had 3 signatures in my house available to all of them, and no campaign contacted me to tell me where to go to sign. Gingrich finally did, but on the last day - -my wife was already out of town and I was at work all day.
When people are bugging you to let them sign your petitions, and you don’t let them know how — that is annoying.
