Years like a ron paul and mitt romney. there are requirements of 10,000 signatures. in addition you must have 400 signatures from each county. and there are restrictions in terms of the number of people you can use to gather these signatures. its, a 1st amendment and 14st amendment argument. megyn: the other point is, then raise it in advance. dont just wait to see whether you can do it, then rush into a courtroom wouldnt they have been in a better position if they had gone in in advance? >> tru...

Process is archaic. even the attorney general says that much. what concerns me about the fact that we only have two candidates on the ballot in virginia and theres no write-in is the fact that primary turnout is going to be low and the fact theres no primary on the democratic side and the fact that virginia voters dont register by party tells me well have a hard time, the eventual republican nominee organizing virginia and thats a real concern to me because if the republican presidential nominee...

Gingrich is livid. >> he lives there. >> he lives there and cant get on the ballot there and has to be crucial to him and here is what hes saying so far. only a failed system excludes four out of the six major candidates seeking access to the ballot, voters deserve the right to vote for any top contender, especially leading candidates of which he is one, and we will work with the republican party of virginia to pursue an aggressive write in campaign to make sure that all the voters of virginia a...

Not pushing a button or pulling a lever, they have to go and fill out a paper as a write in and listen to a speech or two. a lot of work. >> it is not just that voters are distracted, but it seems people, some people, at least, are turned off by the attack ads. >>carl: the truth of the matter is, that get as lot of attention and commands the attention of voters in the last few days. but weapon the holidays are away, particularly christmas, not so much. today romney said he would like to see all ...

"the florida republican party picked nine people for its ballot and chose not to include him. south carolina charges $35,000 to be on its ballot, so roemer decided to run there as a write-in." i guess they dont want you in the conversation. >> thats fair. who wants to hear about running for president and taking four $1 million checks. thats mitt romney. who wants to hear about a man who has seven super pacs? thats rick perry. who wants to hear about a mans money be described as a lobbyist for th...

And i think massachusetts is way out of bounds. it costs this kid a title, a memory, and the team a title. >> his team the title. >> sure. what do you think? does that look like taunting to you? do you think it was appropriate that they effectively took the championship title away from that team? >> they took it away from cathedral and gave it to blue hills regional school. final score 16-14. >> does blue hills really want that? >> theyll take it anyway they can get it. im sure the people on tha...

Downs. it is starting to sound more prudent. to get the nomination you would need half of that plus one. the estimates resolve around 1143, but that could change. if a candidate thinks they can win all the delegates, again, this is mathematic, not pragmatic, the drop dead date to make that decision would be sometime in february. february 2, some might believe. so its that late. another possibility? a write-in. final deadlines have passed in like new hampshire. they do allow write-in votes in new...

Which has more undecideds, given the way they conduct it, their last poll showed that if you combine the number of republicans who are undecided with the number of republicans that say -- who say they want someone else, you get 31% of the vote. the field is losing as this race goes on. and while the conventional wisdom is, its going to get to romney eventually, what youre seeing pretty consistently is that romney is having a lot of trouble getting much beyond a quarter of the republican vote. yo...

>> a lot of responsibility at age 18. i was just entering college and unsure of what i wanted to do with my life. what made you decide to run for office? >> well, i actually didnt run. >> you were a write in. too to seek it. >> right. there was a group of people that thought i needed to do this. i could do it and i have been a leader my whole life. i always volunteered in different things throughout the community and i have been a president of our ffa chapter here where i attend high school. the...
