Romney: Santorum campaign “flunked” competence exam by making filing mistakes in VA and OH.
DAYTON, Ohio — Mitt Romney’s campaign argued Saturday that chief rival Rick Santorum heads into a series of neck-and-neck contests next week “severely hobbled” because by not filing some necessary paperwork he is ineligible for a sizable chunk of the delegates up for grabs on Super Tuesday.
Casting a presidential primary campaign as a basic competence exam, a top Romney campaign official said Santorum had “flunked” the test by not qualifying for the Virginia primary ballot and by failing to file for delegates in three of Ohio’s 16 congressional districts and improperly filing in some other districts.
“That basic organizational test that you’re going to have to have to battle President Obama is a test that Rick Santorum and his campaign have flunked,” Romney campaign national counsel Ben Ginsberg told reporters Saturday afternoon on a conference call titled “Santorum’s Delegate Debacle.”

Funny I was just commenting this morning why Romney wasnt attacking Santorum on this issue. Its a reasonable attack and it could have an impact with voters.
