Totally disgusted and grossed out here….Newt is calling himself the Virginia Candidate. Newt is not a Virginian. I don’t know what he is but he isn’t a Virginian. My people would have probably called him a scalawag.
Unfortunately, legally Newt is a Virginian. He lives in McLean and is registered to vote there. Those with a discerning eye are watching Gingrich very closely to see if he changes his voter registration. If he does, that is an indicator that if selected to be the Republican candidate, he would chose Governor Bob McDonnell as his running mate. The 12th amendment prohibits electoral college members from casting a vote for 2 candidates from the same state. Since McDonnell is the current governor of Virginia, it isn’t likely that he would change his voter registration. Newt would have to be the one. Bush and Cheney ran into the same problem.
Meanwhile, former Virginia Democratic Committee chair Paul Goldman is the attorney assisting Gingrich in his fight to get on the Virginia ballot for the March 6 primary. Maybe Gingrich is so mad at Virginia he will just move. Ya think?
