An e-mail from Newt Gingrich 360, a grassroots website unaffiliated with the Gingrich campaign “for Newt Gingrich Supporters and Volunteers,” reveals a push for Gingrich supporters in Virginia to support Ron Paul in the state’s primary on March 6.
Rick Santorum and Gingrich were unable to make it on the Virginia ballot in December. Because Virginia will be allocating its delegates proportionally, Gingrich supporters plan to give Congressman Paul as many votes as possible in order to stop Mitt Romney from running away with the 46 bound delegates.
Write-ins will not be allowed on the Virginia ballot.
Gingrich’s grassroots supporters seem to be taking a long view of the primary process. Gingrich has stated that he plans on going all the way to convention.
Virginia is a hybrid primary. Of the 46 delegates up for grabs, 33 are proportioned by the states 11 Congressional districts. Whoever wins each congressional district wins all three delegates from that district. Another 13 at-large delegates will be allocated proportionally based upon the statewide vote. Any candidate under 15% of the vote will receive no delegates. The at -large delegates will be winner-take all if a candidate receives a majority (50.001%) of the state-wide vote. Only 3 of Virginia’s delegates are unbound and will not be allocated to any candidate.
The Gingrich campaign has not stated this as an official campaign strategy, nor has it responded to a request for comment.

You know what you get when you vote for the lesser of two evils ? LESS EVIL! What does less evil mean? Less death of inoecnnt lives. Just today you posted an article about how when Democrats are in charge they lose wars, and Obama is going to give 5 dangerous Taliban back, out of Gitmo. What makes you think Romney would engage in such stupidity and evil? But you’d rather put him back for 4 more years than vote for less evil. We know that Obama has one of the most corrupt, or the most corrupt DOJ’s, with Eric Holder in charge, than in all of history. You’d rather let that continue that Romney, who would do no such thing. More death with Holder in charge. More voter fraud. WE know that Obama is purposely engaging in Cloward Piven strategy to crash our system and ruin America and has tripled the national debt. Romney would do no such thing. Less evil is less economic misery and suffering. But you’d rather let that continue than have Romney. We know Obama is not a natural born citizen, has hidden his past and is not even qualified to occupy our sacred White House, but you’d rather let him stay there than have Romney run our country. We know that Obama has the worst record on pro-life issues of anyone in the Senate, worse than Ted Kennedy, even voting in Illinois as a State Senator to let babies born after an abortion to die without aid. Romney is not even close to Obama on abortion.But you’d rather let Obama continue to appoint horrific judges to federal courts and the Supreme Court than vote for less evil. Ok, more dead babies, let that be on your conscience.This temper tantrum is utter madness. LESS EVIL is better than MORE EVIL! Let’s work on getting a decent Speaker of the House (Bachmann?) and get stuff done in Congress, with a Republican President who won’t veto real change by a Republican Congress. Let’s work on getting a Republican Senate who will pass a budget and truly vet candidates appointed for positions. Let’s not be on the side of the liberal media who wants MORE evil.
If you see through all of Mitt Romney’s flip flopping and done basic research on him then no matter if your Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, or a Santorum supporter you realize that when stacked against Obama as Romney always strikes to do when he speaks… they look oddly similar. If you want someone representing the GOP way of thinking in their background you are left with someone just like Obama or you can select Ron Paul. These are your only options Virginia. Make the right choice and vote Ron Paul. He is the only candidate left that stands a chance against Obama and the absolute only alternative to Mitt Romney (Obama 2) left on your ballot.
What a great idea!
Zelsdorf, that’s Krauthammer’s writing, not Curt’s. Curt may or may not agree with every daeitl. I think it’s a good article (aside from Krauthammer’s attempt to narrow the race prematurely).As for Newt’s ego yes, of course everyone running for President has a pretty high opinion of themselves. But Newt really borders on delusions of grandeur. Since I happen to agree with Krauthammer’s assessment (in fact I think he doesn’t go far enough), I’ll offer some supporting anecdotes:- the note Newt wrote about himself (came to light in 1997 during his ethics investigation), where he describes himself: ‘Gingrich — primary mission, Advocate of civilization, Definer of civilization, Teacher of the rules of civilization, Arouser of those who fan civilization, . . . leader (possibly) of the civilizing forces.’ ”- his comments to his second wife , when she accused him of hypocrisy for touting family values while cheating on her: “It doesn’t matter what I do, people need to hear what I have to say. There’s no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn’t matter what I live.“- his recent premature declaration that he would win the nomination- when Newt attained a leadership position in Congress in the 1980s, General Odom (then head of the NSA under eagan) invited him to a two hour NSA briefing reserved for the top few officials in Congress. When Newt showed up, he talked for two hours straight, giving the assembled NSA staff his opinions and vision.- his description of himself as a one-man think tankThe one thing not touched on by Krauthammer as regards Romney is that Romney is a coward (politically) compared to Newt. I’ll take that over the borderline clinical pathology of Newt, though, I guess.Reply
Here I go again!We the PEOPLE can NOT stand for another four years of this type of OVER REACH form EITHER party!The ltmaseream media WANTS to tell the American CONSTITUTIONAL conservative who their candidate should be.I, for one, do NOT believe WE THE PEOPLE should have to settle for the most electable we should get the RIGHT candidate..get BEHIND them and push for REAL Constitutional reforms.Life long politicians WILL NOT get it done.We elect a man who CAN NOT PROVE his lineage, from questionable parentage but, RUINED a man who was mostly honest, KNEW who his parents were and had at least ONE good idea.(Herman Cain). Having served (USAF 22 years) my opinion is slightly in line with Ron Paul, there was NO COUNTRY overseas that I was stationed in that could NOT AFFORD their own defense. I ENJOYED the different cultures, even in hostile conditions. OBTW, there is NO PLACE on the planet the U.S. can not reach with in four hours with hard ordinance. So, why keep spending blood and treasure to secure THEM. The point here is SWEEP THEM ALL OUT if the continue to REFUSE to honor THEIR oath to the Constitution The White House is ONLY one component, Activist judges and compromised representatives in Congress are JUST as significant a THREAT to the CITIZENS of America
Great example of how politics makes strange bedfellows. Other than opposing Romney the two camps have little in common. Paul wants the federal government to do less while Gingrich wants it to do more.
I am disheartened by the number of RPaul people who sit at their keyboards with nothing else to do but bash a decent, intelligent, proven job-maker like Romney…and anyone else who happens to get in their sights. It appears that Romney has a proven record of success in nearly all fields. He seems to have gotten things done despite operating under a cloak of 85% opposition in the MA. legislature. Not to mention that he and his family look healthy, supportive, and Presidential … Romney is not too young and not too old…just right! We were independents…not now! If anything, my family (14 voters) have uniformly agreed to unite and back the ex-Massachusetts Governor/businessman and let him do his thing to straighten out our mess.
That’s 14 more people hoodwinked by the GOP Establishment Machine supporting the “Trumped up” Hollywood Production of Willard Romney. Before you dig your heels in… you might want to look deeper in to the history of Willard & his father, George who lost his bid for the presidency in circa 1965 because of his affiliation with Saul Alinsky & the New World Order. You might also be interested to know that Willard Romney is a liberal dressed in Conservative costume — this charlatan is the GOP version of Obama. Romney supports NWO & Agenda 21 — very, very UNAMERICAN VISIONS… Romney is to the left of George W. Bush… While you mock people who sit at “their keyboards…” I would suggest that you use your own computer to educate yourself before voting blindly. Romney is pure deceit. Romney has a deep disconnect with average people as well as small business owners. Romney & the Bain Capitals of the country, kill more jobs than they create and line their pockets with the spoils. He cannot solve your problems, because it’s men like him that are the ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. Why do you think his biggest supporters are Lobbyists & Wall Street? It’s all on-line just waiting for you to read. Romney is a sham and only zombies will support him.
Who decides on a president because of his or her age? That’s the problem we have now is so many people were dazzled by appearance and totally disregarded actual performance.
@military pilot i agree with you 100% you must see this link on Mitt Romney Truly enlightening
That effort was from Marianne in NJ and it is paying off. http://newtgingrich360.com/group/virginia
Great Move Virginia. Newt is my second choice for the nominee. I remember him from the Reagan years. A good man. I am a Ron Paul fan. If Ron Paul is the nominee, it will be the first time since Ronald Reagan that I will definitely vote republican. Newt, I may as well. Otherwise, its third party again this year. Lets keep these two in the race. Best wishes to you in Virginia.
Vern you are very wise… Ron Paul must win Virgina to help stop the GOP establishment & New World Order pick — Romney. Further, Newt Gingrich is the only candidate that will incorporate some of Ron Paul’s platform such as auditing the Fed… The establishment is backing Romney for a reason — they want the status quo and fear a Ron Paul or Newt Gingrich win.
, while repeatedly rerrneifg to either Romney or Gingrich on almost every single issue!!! This was not a debate more like a politically incorrect talk show hosted by Gov. Romney and his goons. Whatever they can’t shut us down forever!!! Yikes! And we think our votes matter-THEY DO WHAT THEY WANT, HOW THEY WANT, it’s becoming ridiculously close to a three-ring circus .help! P

Excellent post at Grassroots supporters of Gingrich organize for Paul in Virginia. I was checking constantly this blog and I’m impressed! Very helpful information particularly the last part
I care for such info much. I was looking for this particular information for a very long time. Thank you and good luck.
he will endorse smnooee, be a moderator? At the very least, there would have to be a pledge required of him first before agreeing to participate that he will not endorse anyone for President at all who participates in the debate if the pledge cannot be forthcoming, otherwise it smacks irreversibly of a pay off as a position in a future administration or other kinds of concessions (he really should agree on moderating to remain neutral in the cycle except of the common bond of Republican). NewsMax sent me here and wanted to know what I think. I now think the Country is in danger, and have a new more favorable view to Mormonism after seeing how this is handled, beyond having know a few Mormons all of whom have exceptional character, even they dont have to have.

everything is fair, then suddenly anoyne without a view the Right approves of is unAmerican? It is the diversity of our views and our right to have them that makes American in the first place. If the United States wanted to go in the direction of policies you dont favor, as a majority, as long as minority rights are respected, as they are in a Republic, then that is what America is about ultimately going in the direction it wants to go, and if it wants to go in your direction, fine, if most agree it is the toleration that is key to being an American, so I wont ask the obvious question of you.You really think there is equity already? Then why do we have these problems? All the jobs are filled, people want to work, we cant grow the economy without spending but jobs go abroad or for low wage hear, while many want to throw out the tomato and strawberry pickers but wont do that work themselves, and I guess are expecting me?The playing field is not level.

Understanding to the beginning of a problem begins with looking for the the premise. While may seem ambigious but most hard times begin from the premise, not the conclusion.
This is the straight Grassroots supporters of Gingrich organize for Paul in Virginia journal for anyone who wants to act out out nearly this substance. You attention so more its virtually effortful to discourse with you (not that I real would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new reel on a topic thats been typewritten virtually for life. Discriminating sundries, simply high!
Hmmm…I heard of that last week. It seems plausible beuscae the reality is that only Dr. Ron Paul and Governor Mitt Romney have actual delegate counts. What the news sites show in the way of delegate counts is utterly false. The real delegate counts show that the Romney camp have a concern that Dr. Paul might be a thorn in their side…and so, they might be trying to broker with him before it gets nasty at the convention. The truth of the matter is that the Romney camp rigged this year’s system with the GOP officials so that he would have an easier sweep of the delegates–even if he lost states. Well, Dr. Ron Paul got news of this and is now beating Governor Romney at his game and alerted his supporters across the country to pay attention and to not leave the voting areas after the announcement of the caucus or primary winners beuscae that’s when they pick delegates. If you don’t have people who sign up to be delegates then, it’s game over–even if you won the state primary. It’s slightly complicated, but Rachel Maddow interviewed Doug Wead about all of this nonsense in the wake of the phony Maine results. Sorry I cannot include it here, but if you do a youtube search or go to ronpaulflix.com, you’ll find all of it cataloged there. In Christo Rege,Philleoxiii@me.com
Once again Ron Paul is blacked out of the qeontiuss for most of the so-called debate. One question he was asked, what would you do to save the Everglades? Good God-Almighty, our country is going down the tubes and the moderator asks such a stupid question!!?? These debates are a farce ..they only want to focus on Romney and Gingrich, period .even Santorum got a bit more to say than Ron Paul. For God’s sake Americans, can’t you see what the media is doing to you??
