Yes, you heard it correctly. Those four very popular candidates are not allowed to be on the Virginia Primary Ballot. Friday, January 6...Virgina judge ruled against Gingrich, Huntsman, Perry and Santorum for their spot on the primary ticket. His reasoning was due to the fact that they waited too long to file their claims. When asked about this, the judge stated "In essence, they played the game, lost, and then complained that the rules were unfair."
So in Virginia it was just a two-man race, Romney and Paul. Does this mean that the election is now against these two?. Paul thinks so as he said that the election is just a "two-man race". However Gingrich thinks differently. Gingrich stated "It just means that I have to ultimately, coming out of winning South Carolina (and) winning Florida, I'll have to beat Romney in enough extra states to make up for it.". Atleast he's optimistic. Although Virginia is a big state, All of the GOP candidates have had their eyes set on the win of South Carolina.
Now these four candidates will have the bring all they have to the next primary, in order to recover from being banned from the Virgina. I wonder how this will affect the others states and their rules for the primaries. At least they learned a very valuable lesson ; The Early Bird Gets The Worm... or something like that
