Some GOP Contenders Get Lesson on Time-Management

The top tier contenders Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry will have to sit out the Virginia GOP Primary slated for March 6. They both have fallen short on getting signatures needed to list in the Virginia primary, one of the states to hold a Super-Tuesday primary. Virginia has a requirement of 10,000 signatures in order to be placed on the ballot. In fact, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul are the only two that will be on the ballot because the others were unable to meet the rules deadline to get in Virginia primary for whatever reason.

Super-Tuesday is where ten states nation wide run primaries or caucuses to determine the nomination for President of the United States of America, all on the same day. Usually there is much-a-do and fanfare in the media on the races on Super-Tuesday. The states that will take part on the Super-Tuesday showdown are Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia.

On the way to the White House it seems like a few of the GOP presidential runners have had an opportunity to get a lesson on time-management. This minor mishap may cost big for not paying attention to the details of their organizations by directing and managing strategic plans. This lack of planning gives voters a magnifying glass to look into their abilities in leadership and skills to run a campaign for the highest office in the land. In the coming months, we will see if voters will hold those who failed to meet the deadlines in a bad light or will they be given a pass.

There are state primaries or caucuses scheduled from January 3rd through June 26th, totaling 22 dates.

I think America will be suffering from Primary/Caucus burnout syndrome by the end date. In the meantime, I plan on taking notes of the winners and losers.
