cackles evilly Yes!
I read in the Times that various Super PACS have spent $3 million on anti-Gingrich ads. Perhaps he might change his mind on the benefits of unlimited corporate spending?
The interesting thing is that no one moving from Newt moved to Romney.
What else would he do? Admit fault and gracefully accept defeat? I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried a lawsuit next, or if the other candidates who couldn’t get on the ballot try to lobby the state to extend is deadline. At first I thought this was just going to be an embarrassment for him, but Virginia is a big state and its primary is on Super Tuesday, so if the race is still competitive at this point, it would really hurt.
It’ll hurt Rick Perry as well, if his next turn as not-Romney should roll around again.
The CNN story I read noted that Gingrich, Perry, Romney, and Paul all filed at the deadline without mentioning whether Bachmann, et al, had already qualified or didn’t even bother to file, instead choosing to inform us of scintillating shit like this:
Okay, that woman is MY AGE. And she looks old enough to be my mother. I just asked my SO to guess how old she was, and he actually guessed my mother’s age just by looking at the picture. (he’s politically apathetic and didn’t know who she is)
WTF? Is Gingrich a vampire sucking the age out of her or something?
The fact that Gingrich and Perry are both not on the VA primary ballot fills me with lulz.
Like Newt Gingrich at a buffet, Snowboarder Bo will be here all week, folks. Don’t forget to tip your waitresses - they have to get up early tomorrow and clean Ms. Henderson’s classroom.
These are serious presidential candidates? Who can’t get on the ballot in a state with a vigorous conservative population? For a primary on Super Tuesday?
