Gingrich promises write-in campaign - but can he?

Gingrich's campaign, having failed to qualify for the Virginia primary ballot, released this statement, decrying the entire process and promising to run as a write-in candidate:

“Only a failed system excludes four out of the six major candidates seeking access to the ballot.  Voters deserve the right to vote for any top contender, especially leading candidates.  We will work with the Republican Party of Virginia to pursue an aggressive write-in campaign to make sure that all the voters of Virginia are able to vote for the candidate of their choice.”

Update: The Weekly Standard's John McCormack notes that there is no write-in line on the Commonwealth's GOP primary ballot.
