This will be useful to bring up to the Anti-Romney voters in Iowa!
It means Gingrich and the others CAN'T get the delegates from Virginia ... So how can they beat Romney?
Only Paul is enough of a leader, manager, organizer to get on the ballot everywhere.

Well, with only 2 people on the ballot, and no write in option, it seems like the only way to win is to get 50.0000001% or more.

Ummm...NO! That would be unethical and Dr. Paul certainly wouldn't stand for something like that.

This isn't really great....I think if Romney gets greater than 50% he takes all the delegates....so someone is going to walk away with all of 'em and in that state I don't think it's us...Would have been nice to have newt to split the vote.

I don't know how true this might be though. I cruise other political sites, and one is a few Fox News blogs. The Newt supporters are screaming a "Romney Conspiracy", and are all threatening to vote for Ron Paul to spite Romney....LOL
This is worth mentioning again...
In the 2008 Virginia primary Romney won 4% of the vote. Paul earned 5%. McCain won and Huckabee came in second. There are many, many Virginians who will not vote for Romney. As a Virginian and knowing this state fairly well I can say this is awesome news. My boots are hitting the ground.
Also in Virginia we are not registered dems/repubs. On primary day you show up and pick which primary you want to vote in (unless that has changed since last time so someone correct me if I'm wrong). We are ripe for blue republicans. Virginia voted for Obama last time after being a normally red state but also voted in a very conservative governor.
In Virginia the right to homeschool is important- we have many homeschoolers. Second amendment rights are also important in most areas. Northern VA and the coast are more "big govt" than the rest of the state. I'm going to think on this a bit and get in contact w/our my local meetup group (we just moved to a new area).
I am very excited!

Not necessarily. See my post here.

Not true. The 13 at large delegates are winner take all if a candidate has 51%.
The 40-50 congressional district delegates are proportional no matter what the vote totals.
No. The 33 CD delegates (3 per CD) are winner take all in each CD.

Ok, my wording was bad, but same idea. If a candidate gets 51% they don't get all the delegates in the state.
Interesting article why Newt not on the Missouri ballot,

He "doesn't enter beauty contests" I can understand why.
Sort of a slap in the face at Missouri if his comment is correct.
Phone calls might work well in Missouri and Virginia.
