It's that time again where every 4th year we endure month after month of annoying advertisements from politicians with aspirations of becoming the next President of the United States. As an American I love the fact that we can freely choose who the next leaders of our nation will be, I just hate the "politics" we have to endure to do it. I also wish we had at least one more, or two less, political parties to choose from. Until then I will try to stay informed as possible about the current candidates who are running.
1st the Democratic Party -- Since the current President of the United States is a Democrat, there are no other Democrats challenging his re-election. In case you live in a hole in the ground, our current President, Barack Obama is seeking reelection.
Now, the Republican Party -- At first candidates were joining the race as fast as flies find road kill, (sorry for the sappy choice of words) now they are dropping one by one, until only one remains to challenge the President. With Rep. Michele Bachmann ending her candidacy today, there are currently there are seven well known candidates to choose from (although at least two of them really have no chance at all). In alphabetical order here they are:
1. Former Speaker of the House and U.S. Representative from Georgia -- Newt Gingrich.
2. Former U.S. Ambassador to China and Former Governor of Utah -- John Huntsman, Jr.
3. Current U.S. Representative from Texas - Ron Paul.
4. Current Governor of Texas -- Rick Perry.
5. Former Governor of Louisiana -- Buddy Roemer.
6. Former Governor of Massachusetts -- Mitt Romney.
7. Former U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania -- Rick Santorum.
Stay informed and choose wisely!
