more republican is also newt gingrich and rick perry had not qualified for the
virginia primary they didn't get the ten thousand signatures of registered voters
that you need in order to get on the ballot in virginia
uh... now
failure to compete in virginia it's not the end of the world it's among the
super tuesday primaries
if you don't already have the nomination locked up by then that it could play a
factor but it's not clear right now that it is going to play huge factor of
course rick perry has no chance to really gingrich is the one
where this is this is an issue
uh... state republican spokesmen guarantee shipley said volunteers spent
friday validating the petitions of the four candidates who submitted them in in
time by the deadline
and gingrich's campaign simply didn't have the signatures they uh... they
attack the system
saying it's a failed system
if it would disqualify a legitimate candidate have all the ropes if you
don't submit the stuff you don't submit the stuff some saying and i kind of
agree maybe gingrich didn't actually expect to still be in the running by
super tuesday therefore he never really got going on those virginia signatures
it's only as of late but because of the herman cain and and rick perry
combustion
that he has uh... started to regain regain some traction maybe he never even
thought he'd still be in it
brought that you're going
yet keep fighting i guess is that is the moral but the story right absolutely
never give up a list and let loose will do when he runs for president right
uh... the other thing too is that gingrich's campaign so they're going to
run a very aggressive write-in campaign of course according to virginia state
law
no write-in shall be permitted on ballots in primary elections so we'll
see how that goes
here's the thing about me about newt gingrich air which i think it is really
the key thing
at newt gingrich's campaign compared
the failure of getting on the virginia palate
for the pearl harbor attack
and i'm
curious as to whether our audience thinks newt gingrich's is a megalomaniac
because
i've never heard something so outrageous
uh... along the lines of course of
child labor laws stupid and would also be heard from newt gingrich i mean just
so much stuff either i'm i'm byron is not to
not you really want to have another promise not to have any affairs exactly
so uh... he said that this this this is basically their pearl harbor
and i happen to disagree here
that
the analogy is december of nineteen forty one campaign director michael
kroll went on face book and said
this is not catastrophic we will continue to learn and grow
and then in the next paragraph he says new and i agreed that the analogy is
december
nineteen forty one
we've experienced and unexpected setback
we will regroup
brewery focus with increased determination was unbelievable is i
thought gingrich was a story
well when you're historian
every reference an analogy mussah refer to some historical and right is that
what i thought when you were a historian order to prove to people that you're
knowledgeable and uh... in fact historian
yeah gingrich frequently employs these pro harbor analogies and i think that
she actually wrote the historical fiction book about pearl harbor
which critics delivery literally laughed that because it had so many basic uh...
punctuation errors in it it was really a strange book
i mean yet you behavior inability to count signatures
is just like the loss of two thousand american lives and entry of the united
states and the world war two
it's basically the same thing and a historian would know
can argue with me and historian
exact
uh... nobody launched a sneak attack on the newt gingrich campaign day they
simply didn't get the ten thousand signatures
and i really think that that all of this newt gingrich that his painting the
picture for me
that he's a total megalomaniac and let's look at the definition
bus cycle pathological condition
characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth
power or omitted since
and also an obsession
with the grandiose or extravagant things are actions to me
comparing falling short on some signatures in one of fifty states
uh... to pearl harbor
seems to me like it like a a weird fixation with with grandiose things
right at the same time
if you are in fact a megalomaniac o who is running for president yeah
failure to make the virginia ballot must be appreciates quote here you go so
right how do you think that the system that's failed
yellow thing newt gingrich talking about megalomaniac ideas who the one who
suggested that we should use mirrors to reflect moonlight so we would have to
you so much energy at night
are a number that i know i haven't actually reading of he recently gave a
speech actually about space exploration
his new has you can look it up back in nineteen eighty four he was involved in
something i think it was a book
related to space exploration and there's just so much incredible stuff and i'm
not surprised about the moon reflection
