Perhaps Paul and Mitt also noted the forms had to be official and their people took time to verify the signatures before they were filed.
perhaps their forms were filed before the last minuet.

#22
Are you referring to Newt's impressive record of enriching himself as the historian for Freddic Mac and Fannie Mae? Or the impressive record of being fined for ethical violations while he was in congress? Or hightailing it out of there when faced with revolt from his conservative house members.

I am left speechless at your slanders, #22, I don't know how old you are so I will cut you a little slack, but I was in my 40s during the Gingrich speakership, I worked an evening shift, so living in the west coast, I watched C-span every day, faithfully. What you posted is a lie, and I suggest you do some reading. Keep in mind that the leftist press hated Newt because he was so effective and so popular, and worked tirelessly 24/7 to destroy his popularity and his reputation. If you do know the truth, and posted this, then shame on you!

This is crooked and corrupt through and through. I am completely disgusted with Cuccinelli. The existing law has always worked. This is foul play.

Cuccinelli's got bigger fish to fry. You can bet he has other motives. This "change" was the result of a court order in October. And if you're not a VA resident you can't vote in our primary. No conspiracies. Just general incompetence.

Well... I see the good will of Christmas and the New Year is over... Thank you #7 for filling in some of the back story. I had heard about this 'rule change in mid-stream', but not even this article explains it. I saw on the MSM how they mocked Newt for being a bad manager, but they failed to mention the rule change OR that Gov. Perry, Michele Bachmann, Jon Huntsman, and Rick Santorum also got shut out. Thank you Ldotters for keeping us informed.

#7, thanks for your insight on this matter. BTW: I tend to interchange Obama and Romney a lot myself.

FORT DODGE, Iowa ? Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and other Republican presidential candidates who failed to get onto the Virginia primary ballot may have a glimmer of hope thanks to the intervention of Virginia?s top lawyer. Fox News reported Saturday that the state?s attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli, is planning to file emergency legislation to change the Virginia law that has kept most of the GOP candidates off the primary ballot. Only former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Ron Paul met the requirement of 10,000 signatures to participate in the March 6 primary.

I've long thought the notion of a prison-industrial complex to be laughable left-wing nonsense peddled by Marxist goofballs and other passengers in the clown car of academic identity politics.For those who don't know, the phrase "prison-industrial complex," or PIC, is a play on the military-industrial complex. The theory behind PIC is that there are powerful forces -- capitalist, racist, etc. --

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa -- Rick Santorum styles himself as a man who is big on personal responsibility -- and yet the former Pennsylvania senator apparently doesn?t feel any particular responsibility to the facts. Not, at least, when it comes to repeating ridiculous right-wing falsehoods about President Obama. Speaking in Marshalltown on Friday, Santorum repeated the conservative canard that Obama had gone around the world apologizing for America. Here?s his quote: ?When he went out around the world in his first trip and apologized for America, it was because he thinks that America needed to apologized for,? Santorum declared.

President Obama's campaign would be happy to sell Mitt Romney's son a birth certificate mug from the president's campaign store. Romney's son Matt joked Friday that his father might release his tax returns when Obama releases his birth certificate. The campaign tweeted from Obama's official Twitter feed: "Mitt Romney's son thinks President Obama should release his birth certificate. Guess he doesn't have one of our mugs? http://OFA.BO/N13uCf" The mugs read "Made in the USA" under a photo of Obama, and included a replication of the president's birth certificate.

Obama?s election year retreat from legislative fights means this term will end without significant progress on two of his 2008 campaign promises, an immigration overhaul and closing the military prison for terrorist suspects atGuantanamo Bay, Cuba. Presidential directives probably won?t make a big dent in the nation?s 8.6 percent unemployment rate or lead to significant improvements in the economy. That?s the chief concern for many voters and the issue on which Republican candidates are most likely to criticize Obama.

It?s an article of faith among many Republicans that Mitt Romney is the most electable candidate in the GOP field. But it?s not clear that this assertion is actually true. In fact, if one were going to design a Republican opponent tailor-made to President Obama?s liking, that opponent would be uniquely vulnerable to Obama?s main rhetorical thrust (making class-warfare arguments), uniquely unsuited to take clear aim at Obama?s least popular action as president (spearheading the passage of Obamacare), and uniquely strong in states that are unlikely to matter in the general election race.

Sioux City, Iowa - Ron Paul told Iowa voters on Friday that he would not launch a preemptive strike on Iran because ?they don?t threaten our national security.? ?If some other country thought they had to go to war with them, that is their business,? he said, adding there is no proof Iran is building a nuclear weapon. (Snip) On Friday, Paul was responding to a question from an Iowa voter who asked the Texas Congressman whether he could conceive of a situation where he would preemptively declare war on a country. Paul admitted that the president does need the
