could conceivably defeat president obama in a general election given his record from the state of utah. if jon huntsman doesn t gain ground in new hampshire, he should step aside as well. here s the crazy thing. i want to show the viewers the latest quinnipiac poll of registered voters if the primary was held today, newt gingrich is at the top. he s not going to be on the ballot. something is wrong with the process, isn t it? listen, it s not very difficult process. i know he s complaining that it s difficult. he needed to get 10,000 signatures and 400 signatures in each of 11 congressional districts. that doesn t seem like a monumental task. how do you put together a serious presidential campaign with a serious organization? he would have accomplished that. that s not this complicated and, again, being president of the united states is far more complicated than that. but i do agree with stuart. i could not disagree with you more, my friend. but for what do you say to that? t
you can imagine. it quickly became a trending topic on twitter with people wondering what the heck was going on. an aerospace researcher said it s junk from space from the russian suyoz rocket. was it santa claus? exactly. display of fire. thank you. ron paul and mitt romney are the only two republican presidential candidates on the virginia primary ballot. newt gingrich and rick perry tried to get on but failed to collect enough valid signatures. what about the candidates that didn t even bother? michelle bachmann, jon huntsman and rick santorum? what should they do? for a fair and balanced debate, we re joined by a former aide and chairman of civic forum pac, ford o connell. good morning, gentlemen. good morning. what are we to make for the candidates who didn t even attempt to get on the virginia ballot. it s an important state, isn t it? it went for obama four years
exactly. and it takes and that s why you need exemptions. having served for 11 years, i understand there has to be uniformity and they want the soldier s safety related to wearing chemical biological masks and wearing good seals. once they prove they can do that, it s on the exemption. there s a process to do that but all of a sudden to take this 14-year-old girl from tennessee and make her another part of the ambulance chasing civil rights movement rather than actually dealing yes, it s important that they have the freedom to wear it, but as muslim organizations we should be more concerned about what s inside their head rather than what s around their head. well put, all right, dr. jasser joining us from phoenix very early. thank you very much and happy new year. thank you. appreciate it. what do you think about that? e-mail us, friends at foxnews.com. straight ahead, they didn t even try to get on to the virginia primary ballot so is it time for candidates like michelle b
from 1776. take a listen. general washington and his troops had been defeated in september. driven from brooklyn to manhattan, from manhattan to north of new york city. around the palisades, across new jersey. they declined from 30,000 troops in september to 2500 effectives on christmas day. of the 2500, 1/3 historian, i should say. and so he s giving us all a history lesson but, you know, he doesn t suffer from lack of self-esteem. i mean, basically what pundits are saying is he s likening his campaign to george washington s impact on the country. some parallels. you can see some parallels as you saw parallels of being taken off the virginia ballot or not making the virginia ballot with pearl harbor attack and so this is i mean, you know, this is sort of vintage newt in terms of
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 there s no write-in is the fact that primary turnout is going to be low and the fact there s no primary on the democratic side and the fact that virginia voters don t register by party tells me we ll have a hard time, the eventual republican nominee organizing virginia and that s a real concern to me because if the republican presidential nominee doesn t win virginia, we won t beat president obama in 2012. it comes down to this, with the exception of romney and huntsman at times, the republicans have been a bunch of goons. newt gingrich is while e. coyote. i don t know how they think they can be president. trust me, newt gingrich will beat president obama if he gets the general election because
