Who's That?

This blog is supposed to be about the Presidential candidates and their views on certain issues and policies, but it seems like I've been mostly talking about the mainstream candidates. Most people don't even know the other candidates and I feel as though I should at least plug some of the underdog candidates. This could take a come of days, but I'm going to start to write about a few no name candidates. Starting with...

Former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore. He calls himself a true "Reagan conservative" who has the experience to deal with the nation's security issues. He was nominated as the in 2001 to be head of the Republican National Committee, but resigned a year later after conflicting views with the White House. With virtually no campaign funds and no name recognition, this ex-prosecutor and war veteran decided to run for President on Thursday stating that he has proven conservative credentials that stand in contrast to the shifting views of the GOP front runners. With Republican activists stating that the front runners in the Republican party are too liberal and might not be backed.

Gilmore is trying to run for President with virtually no money? Are you serious? Rudy Guilliani and Mitt Romney both have about $11 million in their campaign fund while McCain has about $5.2 Million. Does this guy think he can be the new Howard Dean? There are too many big name candidates for this guy to get in the mainstream. Even with the support of the internet, the big name candidates also have websites and site teams to get shit out on the internet too. Then again, who knows. This guy could be the darkhorse and come out on top a couple of months later.
