From BearingDrift comes the report that only four candidates have gotten in their nominating petitions for the Virginia primary by today’s deadlines:
- Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich;
- Rep. Ron Paul (TX);
- Texas Governor Rick Perry; and
- Fomer Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
The Virginia primary is on March 6th; it is, in fact, nominally part of “Super Tuesday,” although it’s not going to be the blowout this year that it’s been in the past. There’s no indication that the Bachmann, Huntsman, and/or Santorum campaigns have filed for an extension, either.
As to what it means… well, I’m getting conflicting opinions. Reply Hazy: Try Again Later.
Two things Moe, first thing I am wondering if you think it is odd that they counted so many ballots in such a short time and made sure they were all real, and how to they know they are not real, 2,000 seems like a lot to me.
Second, I really enjoy reading your stuff, and I would like to place a link in my blog to yours so some of the people who come to my blog can go to yours. I am a student and decided since journalism and political science are my two majors I should put some work in before I get done with school, so I developed a blog and I write when I can. I do not get a lot of hits, maybe a couple 100 a day on a good day but it is still a start. Would that be something you are OK with?
