Oops. Sorry.

Oops?

DAMN, beaten by 1 second.

Seriously, how hilarious is this?

How about Rick Parry?

/We need yet another ex-Texas Republican governor, born again Christian with a great ability to put his foot in his mouth, president.

Rick Parry, Joe Block, C. Everett Dodge and Michelle +20 Mastery Rating/+30 Stamina Gems In Every Slot all should be on the ballot as legitimate candidates.

They'll find some loophole at the 11th hour that'll let him on the ballot.

Unless he drops out before the 11th hour.

It's amazing, isn't it? Each vying for the Presidency of one of the largest, most powerful nations in the world... and they can't even get their sh*t together and submit petitions to appear on the ballot. It's a wonder they can tie their shoes w/o a staffer to help.

Welcome to your second term President Obama!

Sabyen: Fark's javascript is all farked up.

Is there are reason this needs to be completed over 2 months before the primary? Designing and printing the ballots shouldn't take more than a couple weeks at most.

Newt Gingrich is getting disqualified from Virginia next. He had fewer signatures than Rick Perry in Virginia.

In other words, 10000 signatures for the Virginia Presidential Primary? Virginia has had Republican primaries with under 200000 voters. If this leads to anything, it'll be a filing-fee only Virginia Primary. No other state in the nation requires 10,000 signatures for a Presidential Primary.

Rick Perry presidential to do list.

1 Raise cash through donations

2 Spend cash campaigning for president

3 Errr what is the third thing I need to to, I forget. :(

Either way he has proven yet again the stupid is strong in him.

I'm sure any of these folks could run the country better than Fartbongo; they just can't run a campaign well enough to get on the primary ballot.

Don't be silly, only Democrats can get on ballots without valid petitions, I have no idea what Perry was thinking.

Very clever headline!

That's pretty funny, but 10k signatures (including 400 from each congressional district) seems a little excessive just to get on the primary ballot.

Mom, you're drunk. Go to bed.

yeah, unlike you

Does it really matter? The virginia primary is after super tuesday. Everyone but the winner up to that point an paul will still be running... and I give it about the chance that I will win the loto that Perry will be winning then but even then you will have delegates that would throw their hat behind not Paul.

I wonder what Fark conservatives think of Buddy Roemer as Romney's VP pick. He's experienced, articulate, knowledgable, and persuasive. But he said he embraces both the Occupy and Tea Party movements. I think he'd appeal to moderates and swing voters, but I wonder if his centrist views are out of step with today's Republican party.

... but there could be a Perry Dick.

"After verification, RPV has determined that Newt Gingrich did not submit required 10k signatures and has not qualified for the VA primary."

Merry Christmas!

Your Virginia Primary is Ron Paul v. Mitt Romney. Which should be an awesome 3-1 Romney victory.

Are these the same people that call Obama and his "organization" an idiot?

I blame ACORN

No, Virginia is one of the states that comprise Super Tuesday.

As far as whether it matters, I'd say it does, if only because it shows voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, and other places that Perry and Gingrich aren't serious contenders, so why vote for them? They won't win down the stretch. So, yeah--I think it hurts Gingrich and Perry's (as well as Santorum, Bachmann, and Huntsman's) chances in other places.

I'm not even gonna try to be coy and witty about this- whatta farkin moran!

And there are people who would even consider voting for this twit?

At this point, it looks this way to me:

Perry - No real chance at the nomination for a few months now. May hang on until South Carolina but who cares?

Paul - People are finally paying attention to his old racist newsletters. He also reminds us of why is okay to have a libertarian streak but not okay to make it the sum total of one's political philosophy

Bachmann - Oh, c'mon. Fundies have a ceiling of 20% at most.

Gingrich - Do independent voters want four years of this guy dabbling with every intellectual fad that comes along? Plus Fannie and Freddie. Plus the jaw-droppingly stupid stuff he said about the judiciary last week. Unelectable. He doesn't have the temperment or the focus for the job.

This leaves the two Mormons. I prefer Huntsman. The only thing he's done so far that really troubled me was his endorsement of Paul Ryan's medicare plan. Couldn't disagree more but it seems like something we won't have to worry about long term.

Anybody else see things shaping up this way?

That's pretty hilarious. How do these people expect us to believe they'd be good a good president when they can't even put together an organization that is capable of getting them on the ballot?

Hmm, it's almost like most of the candidates don't actually want to be the nominee. Actually having to run for President might conflict with their book tours.

I couldn't agree more.

And Newt doesn't make the VA GOP primary either, according to CNN.

So my state will have Romney vs Paul for the GOP nomination.

My state is hysterical.

BMulligan Romney's got it in the bag. I couldn't agree more.

Geez, you had to cross out everything? I thought my post was at least good enough for cable news. Maybe even The Internet!

Anyway, up until a few weeks ago, I would have said Romney was the clear winner. It's still likely Romney will win the nomination but there's obviously a high a level of discomfort with him among GOP voters and independents. I don't think this is over and Huntsman is likely the last man standing after New Hampshire.

Republican voters, I would assume, are still more interested in winning than just making a point. Independents have, to a stunning degree, given up on Obama. Some of this he's brought on himself and some he hasn't but, if the GOP nominates one of the two Mormons, they really can win next year. This must make the religious right feel very confused.
