Virginia Primary

Ok this is unacceptable that two of the the Republican presidential candidates are unable to participate in the Virginia primary. Gingrich and Perry were unable to acquire 10,000 signatures to appear on the ballot. I find this to be an absurd lack of organizing from people who spend millions of dollars from donors and in Romney's case out of his own pocket to run for the highest position in the country but not able to take the time to get 10,000 signatures to contend for the forty-six delegates that Virginia will be giving out. In Gingrich's case, he won't even be able to participate in Missouri and Virginia which hold a significant amount of delegates, especially in a close race. You just can't contend when you leave delegates on the table. Then to make it worse Gingrich says he is going to do a write-in campaign in Virginia to try and lessen the appearance of incompetence on his campaigns part. Problem is Virginia does not accept write-in votes so he is just spewing hot air. If Perry or Gingrich wish to be taken serious they need to make sure their priorities are in order. Its mind boggling how a candidate such as Perry could spend so much time and money on ads in Iowa but probably doomed his chances of a comeback by not making an effort in Virginia. This is why so many of these candidates have been going up and down in the polls, because none of them appear to show leadership by taking these primaries by the throat and saying to the American people this is what I believe, this is what I am going to do if I am elected President and this is how I am going to do it. Most just say what gets them an applause but are unable to explain how they are going to go about making the changes that they have promised. Whoever wins this nomination is going to have to create a plan on how to get this economy out of the doldrums and how to create jobs. "Yes We Can" was a catchy slogan but nobody ever asked "Yes We Can" do what? There was no substance behind it and now we are finding out the hard way that catchy slogans without substance does not make change. Unless that change means an economy in the tank and a Depression on the horizon.
