Virginia FReepers: It's reported that turn-out in VA is abysmal today. You still have three hours to slow down the Romney campaign by handing him a defeat in VA today. We all know that Kook-daddy will not get the nomination, so, let's let him have VA. If you're a Gingrich or Santorum supporter, get on down to your polling place and vote for Ron Paul. A loss in VA, in a head-to-head race with Ron Paul, would demoralize the Romney camp.
I wonder if the VA GOP will rule that undervotes will be counted as votes for Romney?
Va is being lost Romney only because of ineptitude on the part of Rick & Newt. There is simply no excuse of mis-managing in such an important state. Either one of them could have won in VA.
There is no write-in option in Virginia. You can vote for Romney, Paul, or cast a blank ballot for None of the Above.
JD must be fuming because McLame endorsed Mittens.
I’m sure that’s part of it ....!
I’d gladly vote for Crazy Uncle Ron just to stick it to Flip Romney. Unfortunately, I’m about 150 miles too far north.
I’d never vote for Paul. I could never vote for a man who characterized Bradley Manning as “patriot” and a “hero.”
I know it’s all politics but some things are too far over the line. At least Mitt loves America.
And no I am not a Romney supporter.
Neither Newt nor Rick can win VA,
But we can deny Romney ALL of its delegates by voting for Paul.
And how, pray tell, do we accomplish these write-ins?
Virginia, which holds an open primary—meaning any qualified voter can vote—has 49 delegates up for grabs, handed out proportionally depending on the votes each candidate receives.
Virginia is an open primary which means that YOU CAN get any democrats or independents who happen to be in your family, or friends (or even enemies) circles to vote for Ron Paul!! They don’t even have to be conservatives, they could be liberal obama supporters, and vote for Ron Paul just to hurt Romney. WE CAN DO THIS.
RE: And how, pray tell, do we accomplish these write-ins?
Well, if you can’t write in and there is no option for it, the only other option is to vote for Ron Paul ( because he is certain NOT to win in any case ).
A vote for Paul is a signal to Romney that Virginia does not want him despite the GOP establishment push.
I am about to go vote in Va. and I will go with Paul. Also, I heard that you could just show and not pick either and vote that way.
I took two “crazy pills” (yes it took two!)
and voted for Ron Paul today in Va.
Then I went to work, the only problem I had was driving there.
You know its real hard to drive a car wearing a jacket that has the arms tied in the back!
Yeah, but if you want to stop Romney.. hold your nose and vote Paul.
I did my part and voted for Ron Paul today in Virginia. Only 2 people were there voting - my husbad and me. One more came in before we left.
That would be awesome — Romney losing to Paul. Party on, guys!
I was 4th in line at my polling place in TN — had to go with Newt.
