That's excellent.

I had a question though for anyone familiar with VA or who is from there like me... what part of the State would Romney come closest to Dr. Paul in?

Dr. Paul will have enough support there for him to win regardless, because there is a lot of military in the Hampton Roads area and most republicans where I live couldn't vote for a member of the LDS.

I heard that Perry was out also, so that's why I made the title as I did.

I live in Portsmouth and it seems (as far as Republicans go) Paul will end up with more support especially from the younger crowd.  I don't know how Romney will do, maybe some older stubborn Republicans are still holding on to him, but I honestly have not heard his name come up in conversation unless someone's complaining about him.

The Mormon thing could come into play.  Some people just don't like Mormons.

Thanks Bert: )  I definitely agree with you about Portsmouth (him doing well there) and older stubborn Republicans (Dr. Paul not doing well with them).

From here,

"Only a failed system excludes four out of the six major candidates seeking access to the ballot," said Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond, referring to the fact that Michele Bachmann, Jon Huntsman and Rick Santorum also won't be on the Virginia ballot.

I'm amused by this statement, as if now it's a failed system because they don't get on the ballot.

Santorum and Huntsman are still considered candidates?

Why exactly were the others excluded though?
