As such, we were receiving a constant twitter stream of yesterday's events. And it was a story of complete incompetence. The Perry and Gingrich campaigns submitted between 40 and 50% of their collected signatures in an invalid format. (invalid forms, no addresses, no notary, wrong counties, not registered voters, non-qualified solicitors, etc.) No wonder Newt thinks he can now mount a vigorous write-in campaign, which is prohibited in a primary.<br /><br />The inside talk from VA is that even Paul people know they are going to get smoked in March. They were desperately hoping for a large field.<br /><br />Romney is likely to tak more than 40 delegates from VA.Closer To Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03434172501628008732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-46424249586646197672011-12-24T15:42:29.892-05:002011-12-24T15:42:29.892-05:00TeeMu,

The belief in monlithic voter strategy, action and results.<br /><br />Do you honestly believe that outside of a small niche of hard right voters, that mainstream primary voters are going to put that much effort and thought into de-railing Romney?<br /><br />What this VA fiasco shows is that Gingrich has crappy organization which does not bode well for Iowa. He can rely on enthuesiasm just so much, and that looks dubious in light of his waning poll nummbers.<br /><br />I think this race is going be over far sooner that Romenot and Media would like.Doug NYC GOPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457483710583021449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-26081324370833607282011-12-24T15:09:07.745-05:002011-12-24T15:09:07.745-05:00I'm from Virginia Beach.

I simply stated that there is talk about it around the web. If Perry or Gingrich supporters show up and vote for Ron Paul, it's a plausible scenario. All Paul needs to do is get ONE more vote than Romney to deny any of the at-large delegates. If he does that, there's a good chance he would take most, if not all delegates from the congressional districts as well.Right Wingnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387554010360328076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-48805915573533313412011-12-24T14:25:41.906-05:002011-12-24T14:25:41.906-05:00Doug,
