Newt Gingrich is getting a head start on the election ballot, deciding to veer off the campaign trail and head there on Wednesday. On Tuesday, he hastily added two events in Virginia to his schedule, to meet and greet with the volunteers early in the morning.
In order to get on Virgina's Republican presidential primary ballot, he needed a total amount of at least 10,000 signatures. The signature-gathering exercise is where Mr. Gingrich’s lack of field organization shows whereas Mitt Romney had already tackled the challenge.
Mr. Gingrich expresses his worry for not getting the signatures fast enough by Thursday. If he is close to the needed number and reaches it, his last-minute push could serve as a heartening sign of strength.
