That is a very good question and should be a valid concern for his campaign.

I am a Romney supporter, but I also like what Newt has to say. I never thought Newt would get this far. I will stand fully behind whomever the GOP candidate is......I just wonder who that will be??

He can win all the states he's elgible for, plus there are 13 real big states including New York that have not met there filing deadlines. You dont need to win all the states.

I was getting ready to reply to the stupid, redundant, question, but see you have already done so. Thanks!

first of all; what does this have to do with Thompson endorsing him and second, it is easy to win without being on all 50 ballots. It is the total number of delagates and how many have to vote the way their state party has set up them to vote, it doesn't take 50 ballots. Newt not being on the VA ballot certainly will hurt, the other couple account for almost no delegates. BTW, don't believe everything you hear, starting with he ran to promote his book... It might have started that way but we will never know. People can say anything. Supporters of his opponents will say whatever they think of to change the opinions of some. This is what politics is all about.
