The little side kicker is that Newt's residency is in Virginia. So this means that he can't vote for himself in this primary season. Which begs the question, since there is no write ins (something actually I find inappropriate), for whom will he vote? Is he more of a Mitt guy or Bachmannite?

I look forward to Newt's

According to Huffpo the Virginia primary is somehow linked to a 'Super Tuesday' whatever that is.

I hereby exclude the primary results of Virginia from being operable in any conclusion that denies Gingrich the nomination.

I can't vote for Gingrich or Perry? Now who am I going to vote for in the Virginia Republican primaries?

In all seriousness, I'm thinking about voting for Huntsman, since we do have open primaries.

The comments appear to be a nice representational slice of the voting public. While there were those taking some glee in this mistake by Newt or believe it shows he is incapable of being president, there are those who will continue to support him. Others take it as an opportunity to go after Mitt, including the one who will vote for Obama before he votes for Mitt.

While not being on the VA ballot is blow to achieving the nomination, VA is part of Super Tuesday so its results will be thrown in with a slew of others. If Newt can pull off victories in places like Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, and Oklahoma, the overall narrative may still be on his side. In the end, the importance of VA will depend a lot of the results in places like Florida, Missouri, and Michigan.

"the analogy is December 1941"

This is reportedly what Newt actually did say, as quoted by his campaign manager on their facebook page.

Don't fail to read the entertaining comments which if nothing else merit Newt a purple heart for submitting to multiple wounds-He'll be calling himself St. Sebastian before long.
