It's that time again! Debates, panels, rallies, meetings, arguments with friends and family, buttons, bumper stickers, American flags, excitement. I love it. Yep, it's time for another presidential campaign season!
I mentioned weeks ago that I'd love to do some in-depth research on each GOP presidential candidate and provide the plain, simple truth on each. My goal is to do one blog entry per candidate. Since we have plenty to cover and I want to give each equal treatment, I will space the entries out a bit as to not overwhelm. It's very important that we all do our own research, but the field is so diverse, I could not help but to write some informative pieces for the blogging world!
The GOP now has 15 DECLARED candidates. Some are more popular than others in terms of name recognition, but here's the extensive, complete (at least to my knowledge) list:
1. Michele Bachmann ~ U.S. Representative from Minnesota
2. Herman Cain ~ Businessman & radio personality
3. Newt Gingrich ~ Former Speaker of the House
4. Jon Huntsman ~ Former Governor of Utah & Ambassador to China
5. Gary Johnson ~ Former Governor of New Mexico
6. Fred Karger ~ Political consultant & gay rights activist
7. Andy Martin ~ Source of chain email letter questioning Obama's citizenship
8. Jimmy McMillan ~ Karate expert, Vietnam vet, & former Rent is Too [Dang] High Party candidate
9. Tom Miller ~ Career flight attendant
10. Ron Paul ~ U.S. Representative from Texas
11. Rick Perry ~ Governor of Texas
12. Buddy Roemer ~ Former Governor of Louisiana
13. Mitt Romney ~ Former Governor of Massachusetts
14. Rick Santorum ~ Former U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania
15. Vern Wuensche ~ Businessman
Be on the look out for an entry on each in the coming week. Oh, and if there's anything specific you'd like to know about each, comment below!
Love, peace, and freedom,
Jenna J.
