comMITTed to Romney!

Hey, all Virginia Mittheads! How is the Virginia campaign faring? I remember posting the results of your petition drive some months ago. You collected over 15,000 signatures and wasn’t that on a single day?

I see that Virginia has 63 delegates. What a nice figure that would be to add to Mitt’s delegate count! Is your primary open or closed and what candidates are working the state?

Let us know what your state’s volunteers are doing and the results of any local polling being done.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

This comes from the —–> always esteemed Mitt Report…

Mike Huckabee has always been the most vocal about Romney ‘buying’ his support. At Ames, he accused Romney of buying his support, at CPAC, the same thing. Now apparently Huckabee has taken up the practice of buying support himself and he is now trying to hide it.

On Monday the website Too Conservitive had a post by a Vincent Harris, who is officially “coordinating Governor Huckabee’s petition drive in NOVA,” promising to pay those who would work for Huckabee to obtain signatures 50 cents per signature. Just hours later however as the word spread, the language promising to pay money for the signatures was deleted. Luckily, Mitt Report saved a copy of the orginial text. The language earlier in the day looked like this:

“I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.
I am in the state for a couple weeks coordinating Governor Huckabee’s petition drive in NOVA. If anyone wants to help (50 cents a signature!) please shoot me an e-mail to vincent.harris@explorehuckabee.com”

The language now looks like this:

“I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.

I am in the state for a couple weeks coordinating Governor Huckabee’s petition drive in NOVA. If anyone wants to help please shoot me an e-mail to vincent dot harris @explorehuckabee.com”

It appears that Huckabee is buying his signatures and now is trying to cover it up.

Now onto our guy…

This report is from an email I received from Justin Hart of MyManMitt fame and fortune. Justin writes about the very strong organization that Mitt Romney has fielded in Virginia and the impressive results they have achieved in getting MR on the Virginia ballot.

Here’s what Justin had to say.

“The first “primary” in Virginia just took place today! And Romney won.

At 1:30 today, Mitt Romney filed 15,000 signatures to meet the
requirements for Virginia presidential primaries.

Every campaign in the race will tell you that Virginia has the most
difficult process to get on the ballot. You have to submit 10,000
signatures with at least 400 signatures from each 11 congress-
ional districts.

Each county or city entity has to have its own petition
page for signatures and you need the voter address and in some cases the last four digits of the social security number for it to be valid.

People who collect signatures have to be registered voters in Virginia. (in other words you can’t farm this out to high schoolers)

The VA ballot submissions opened up yesterday and as far as we know Romney is the first candidate to file.

Other candidates like Huckabee are actually paying 50 cents per
signature. Thompson and Edwards are just getting started.

It will be interesting to see on December 14th who the actual
candidates will be on the ballot.

As background, there are only a handful of paid staffers for Romney in Virginia, but dozens of volunteers chipped in during the elections in November to help get the signatures required. Whole Saturdays were dedicated to rounding up the needed sigs. Unlike other campaigns Romney did this with a grassroots flare and did not outsource it.

Kudos to Team Romney, Lt. Gov. Bolling, and the VA team for making this happen.

This is one more example of why Romney is the best candidate to face the formidable forces of the DEMS in the general election.

About a month ago, Rod Jetton, Speaker of the Missouri House, asked me to be a St. Louis County Organizer for the Romney campaign.

Since that time we have had an organizational meeting, a private fund raiser at Hunter Farms, we are working, in cooperation with the University of Missouri at Columbia, to bring Craig Romney and his wife to our state for a town hall meeting and now we are in the midst of a successful ballot petition drive to collect the 5,000 names needed to get MR on the Mo. primary ballot.

I spent two hours at a local shopping mall yesterday and along with the signatures I collected at the office, I was able to mail 50 new names into the state campaign HQ in Jefferson City.

I was struck by the enthusiasm of some of the people I talked to. One of them asked me to call her later so that she could contribute to the campaign. A high percentage of the signers were Democrats willing to do their part to make sure that everybody gets to make their voice heard. A couple were FT fence sitters who say they will now vote for MR because they were impressed by the fact that a Romney guy was out there on a beautiful Saturday morning, collecting signatures, inviting them to the website and to watch Sunday night’s debate. I could be wrong, but I bet FT wasn’t doing any campaigning himself while I was out there schmoozing about All Things Romney.

After I left the mall, I had a good feeling about my efforts and it was fun! I would like to invite you to join with me in the process. If you are willing to help, please email me: jtc1767@yahoo.com and I will email you the petition drive form.
