Fred Thompson misses Deleware Ballot

According to the Department of Elections, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee have been certified to be on the Delaware primary ballot on Feb.5th.

Unfortunately, Fred Thompson fell short of the 500 signature mark, and will not be on the ballot.

The Delaware ballot for Feb 5th:

• Rudy Giuliani
• Mike Huckabee
• John McCain
• Ron Paul
• Mitt Romney
• Tom Tancredo

Others could be added in the near future should they decide to accept federal matching funds.

UPDATE: Jason Bonham at Race42008.com is reporting that the DOE said Thompson only had 281 out of 500 signatures, and that most of their signatures were rejected because they were not registered Republicans.
