Newt Gingrich Newsletter oversight raises competency questions but failing to get on VA ballot doesn't?

[economics102]

So Ron's poor oversight of a newsletter side-business makes him "insufficiently ready to be president" but Gingrich, who fails to get enough signatures to qualify for the Virginia ballot, is nonetheless sufficiently ready to be president?

Just thought I'd point out the hypocrisy of that...

Ya. I hope someone's keeping track of all this. Will make for an interesting documentary after Paul finishes his 2nd term.

What other ballots has he failed to qualify for? I remember he's been cutting it close for a couple states. Sigh, Gingrich...

Missouri.

Missouri.

Yeah but Missouri primary doesn't count for anything. Still does say a lot about his campaign. Add that to the fact that he filed his delegates at the last moment in NH, incomplete and scribbled instead of typewritten...

Are you talking about the Newt whose campaign went bankrupt, and he couldn't pay his Tiffany bill?
