Just stating the facts. There's a choice in Virginia between Romney.... and Romney.

Only because the others couldn't bother to get their **** together and follow the rules.

Seriously, do you want somebody to be President who can't manage to get himself organized? Any other job you applied for, if you had an interview, you don't get the job if you can't remember to show up on time.

So you're saying there is some conspiracy that blocked the others from being able to meet the guidelines. *eyeroll* Go down to the appropriate forum for this crap.

I agree with PG that something is not right in Virginia. Why is it that all of the candidates are on the ballot in every other state but not Virginia? and Virginia being one of the more important states in terms of the primaries. Like I said in my earlier post that I don;t have a problem with the judges ruling, technically it is correct. The problem is why all of the other candidates who did not get the required sigs have no problem in any of the other states. If it was just one of them, then it was a screw up on the part of their campaign, but something definetly has a foul odor to it when all but two failed to get on the Virginia ballot and didn't fail with the other states.
 
The judge made the right call. Plain and simple.

Garbage.

The establishment is doing whatever they can to throw the election for Mitt Romney. It will take a miracle for a real conservative to beat him.

Looking at how the candidates are behaving all of them look like they are trying to hand Romney the nominee.Just look at Newt Gingrich for example.He is supporting amnesty and trying to put his foot in his mouth.

Virginia Judge Rejects GOP Primary Ballot Appeal for Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Jon Huntsman and Rick Perry | TheBlaze.com

RICHMOND, Va. (The Blaze/AP) — A federal judge has refused to add Texas Gov. Rick Perry and three other candidates to Virginia’s Republican presidential primary ballot.
U.S. District Judge John Gibney ruled Friday that the candidates should have challenged Virginia’s primary qualifying rules earlier. Gibney said they knew the rules months ago.
Perry sued last month after failing to submit enough signatures to get on the ballot. Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman also failed to qualify and later joined Perry’s lawsuit. They asked Gibney to declare Virginia’s law unconstitutional and add their names to the March 6 ballot.
Only former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Rep. Ron Paul qualified for the March 6 primary ballot.

Good call, I say. You can't go changing the guidelines just because you weren't savvy enough to meet them.

Game, Set, Match. President Romney.
