Experts don't believe Rick Perry's lawsuit to get on the Virginia Republican primary ballot will succeed, but that didn't stop four other candidates from jumping on the bandwagon. Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, and Rick Santorum joined the suit, which claims Virginia's ballot laws are unconstitutional, yesterday. Only Mitt Romney and Ron Paul successfully got themselves on the state's ballot, CNN notes. Virginia's Republican primary is part of Super Tuesday, held on March 6. (More Super Tuesday stories.)
