I also only included those that have put forth actual concern into running.


No Newt, Gore, or other hopefuls here.

All I've heard is that he is announcing whether he is running this summer. He hasn't said he'll be announcing his running this summer.

I don't know enough about him. There was the one youtube vid you posted the other day that was but thats really all that i have seen of him.

My list is definitely subject to revision, especially as campaigns start developing and more of their ideas come forward.

He's obviously no "liberal" but he's also a very principled man that won't be bought out by the military-industrial complex, multi-national corporations, special interest groups, or anything else.

Those are very good selling points, as far as he won't be bought out. I will have to see exactly what he is conservative on and see if i can deal with it. Like anyone else I am conservative on some issues and liberal on others.

Yes, he's running. He wants to design a 'New Contract for America' which he'll try to sell to both parties before he officially announces, because after that it's war, and nobody listens to anything. He wants to attempt to reach them before they hate him.

ok.


All I've heard from Hannity is that Newt was waiting till like September to announce whether he was actually going to or not. I never heard that he was going to run, for sure.

Vilsak is out. Shit, he wasn't even included in this poll. What kind of poll is this?

I'm still waiting for Gengrich to join. He's right, it's way to early to be running for president.

Vilsak was a very weak player and there wasn't room in the poll. Polls can only have 15 options.

I picked the top 15 whom I thought were fairly serious contenders in the race.

Gengrich won't get the votes.

Once the stories about him divorcing his wife on her deathbed for his maid come out, the christian voters will turn away.

And it's not too early. This is when fundraising begins.
