Gingrich Compares Virginia Setback To Pearl Harbor

[240 is Back]

When Al Gore lost Tenn, some called him a loser.  Imagine what they'd call him if he never even got on the ballot IN THE STATE WHERE HE LIVES



Gingrich Compares Setback To Pearl Harbor

Newt Gingrich Fails To Qualify For Virginia GOP Primary Despite Residency, Compares Setback To Pearl Harbor

Less than 12 hours after the initial statement, Gingrich's presidential campaign was forced to shift strategy after learning that the state of Virginia forbids write-in ballots for primary contests. At the time of the statement, it appears Krull was unaware of the state's law.
 
In a message Krull posted on the campaign's Facebook page Saturday evening, Christmas Eve, he backed off the initial, and apparently illegal, plan, saying only that the campaign was "exploring alternative methods to compete in Virginia."
 
In a bizarre move, Krull went on to compare the Virginia ballot ruling to the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor - which cost more than 2,000 American lives - describing both as "unexpected setbacks." He also said that in order to re-group and re-focus, "we each need to spend the next 24 hours enjoying our families and friends as much as possible."

many didn't even think he was serious about this run.  I think it shocked the hell out of him when he jumped in the polls and totally caught him off guard.

This incompetence displays a lack of organization.  Do we really need someone like this in the WH?  Newt is done.  He should drop now.

This is why people said all along that he wasnt going to be the nominee, even when he first started getting a bump in the polls. Now the people who wrote Mitt off during the Perry surge are wrong again here with the Newt surge. This is the second time they have embarassed themselves. Will there be a third with Santorum?
