Sad
1400 signatures is pitiful. I would not be shocked if he is kicked off the ballot. Most campaigns want to come in 2-3 times over the necessary limit; and that is consider the bare minimum. Chris Owens 06 campaign got 13,000 signatures, without a single payed petitioned. The person who put that together must have been one smart guy. If I were Jimmy I would be real worried, it is easy to invalidate 400 signatures.
I wonder how much petitioning Jimmy was actually doing?! Even if your campaign was doing all door to door signatures(which they weren't), and only two people go out a night(really sad if true), and they each get 30 signatures a night(not very hard to do), and they go out 30 nights of 45 day period(again not very hard to do) that would equal 1800 signatures. Now lets be real of those 1400 I bet at least 1/3 are from some form of street petitioning. And if you can't get at least two people to go out a night for you, your campaign is sunk. C'mon if he can't even get his mom and dad enthused about volunteering what type of shot does he have.
bye bye jimmy
