The Perry campaign is reviewing its options, after what could be a major mistake-- failing to qualify for the GOP primary in Virginia.

Shortly after discovering the news, Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan issued a statement saying, "Despite aggressive efforts collecting thousands of Virginia signatures after Governor Perry's mid-August entry into the race, we were notified this evening of apparently falling short of the 10,000 voter signatures needed to qualify."

Virginia has some of the toughest primary ballot rules. The state requires, 10 thousand signatures from registered voters, 400 from each of the 11 congressional districts.

Rick Perry isn't alone. The Virginia Republican Party says Michele Bachmann, Jon Huntsman, and Rick Santorum also failed to make the primary ballot in Virginia. Perry was one of the four GOP hopefuls that turned the required paperwork with the Virginia Board of Elections. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Perry's fellow Texan, Ron Paul have been certified eligible. Party officials were still verifying the signatures submitted by Newt Gingrich late Friday night.

When asked if the campaign plans to file an appeal, Sullivan told Fox News the campaign is looking into why they didn't make the ballot. "We will closely review the facts and law to determine whether an appeal or challenge is warranted," says Sullivan.Texas Gov Rick Perry has made quite a few missteps on the campaign trail.
