If they can’t manage a campaign, why are we to believe they can manage a country?

"Oops!" And not just Governor Goodhair Rick Perry this time. Perry, Gingrich lose lawsuit to get on Virginia primary ballot – The Washington Post:

A federal judge denied a request Friday to add four presidential candidates to Virginia’s Republican primary ballot.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former senator Rick Santorum (Pa.), former House speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) and former Utah governor Jon Huntsman failed to qualify for the Virginia ballot, and filed a lawsuit against the State Board of Elections and the state GOP to challenge the qualification rules.

Only former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and Rep. Ron Paul (Tex.) qualified.

U.S. District Judge John A. Gibney Jr. indicated he thought a provision requiring candidates to only use state residents to gather signatures was unconstitutional, but none of the candidates had collected the required 10,000 regardless.

Virginia will hold its presidential primary on Super Tuesday, March 6.
