RICHMOND, Sept. 7 -- Virginia election officials on Tuesday denied a spot on November's presidential ballot to independent candidate Ralph Nader, and an independent review of the signatures he submitted suggests that thousands of them were collected illegally by people who do not live in Virginia.

---------------------

Apparently Ralphlie isn't aware that in the land of Jefferson, there are actually rules that people follow...like petitions for the state ballot need to be signed by state residents!

This is huge since Virginia is definitely in play and it might be close (or Kerry may win by 3-4%). We will turn Virginia BLUE.

Nader is a disgrace
