...who are in the running for the presidency of the USA have just gotten a little bit more of competition for their own party's nomination. Jim Gilmore, the former governor of Virginia, and a proclaimed staunch conservative has joined the ranks of those seeking the Republican nomination as explained in Gilmore Declares Presidential Candidacy in Online Announcement, over at FoxNews.com
So whom among potential Republican candidates do we have to choose from now:
Sam Brownback (in the race)
John Cox (in the race)
Jim Gilmore (in the race)
Rudy Giuliani (in the race)
Newt Gingrinch (potential)
Chuck Hagel (potential)
Mike Huckabee (in the race)
Duncan Hunter (in the race)
John McCain (in the race)
Ron Paul (in the race)
Mitt Romney (in the race)
Condoleezza Rice (hopefully a potential)
Tom Tancredo (in the race)
Fred Thompson (potential, or is he already in it?)
Tommy Thompson (potential)
I liked Tancredo, and still do, quite a bit; but I must admit that his lack of campaigning in the public eye (or would that be lack of media coverage) leaves him out in the cold somewhat if only because not many are familiar with him. I can only hope that he has some matches and tinder to start the fire blazing.
If Tancredo does not start gaining some steam, and start talking about something other than Immigration (which is is probably already doing, but my bet is that the other talk is just ignored by the media who want to show true conservatives as one issue sort of guys), well then I guess I may have to look elsewhere as to cast my vote in the primaries (no I never carried out on my desire to withdraw from the Republican party, although I thought about it long and hard). I definitely would consider casting my vote in the primary for a few of the other candidates. Of course before casting my vote for any of them, they would have to be in it at primary time. Hopefully Tancredo will still be there, and then my decision will probably be an easy one for me. Just in case he will not be there, well I am starting to do my homework by taking a good look at these others. I can only hope that the likes of the most popular candidates at the present time fail to make it to the primaries as I can not imagine Giuliani, McCain or Romney as our president, at least not without dire results for our country.
The candidates, whom I would consider voting for in the primary, as things stand right now, and should they still be in it, are:
Sam Brownback (in the race)
Jim Gilmore (in the race)
Newt Gingrinch (potential)
Mike Huckabee (in the race)
Duncan Hunter (in the race)
Condoleezza Rice (hopefully a potential)
Tom Tancredo (in the race)
Fred Thompson (potential, or is he already in it?)
Time will tell what will happen, but I suggest that before you know it, it will be time for the primaries. Therefore you ought to do your homework now. You can find a breakdown of some of the candidates ideas on the issues at: HUMAN EVENTS 2008 Presidential Voting Guide, and at the various web sites of the candidates, among other places.
All the best,

He gets my money...
...at least at this point of the presidential campaign process. Who, you ask! Tom Tancredo, say I.
So far I like what I have seen and heard of this man. I cannot ask you to vote for him, I cannot campaign for him, I cannot ask you to send him money (I am prevented from all that by law because of my job with the government) but I can tell you my personal opinion about him:
I like him and his stance on the issues so tonight I donated money to him via his website at: http://teamtancredo.org/
If he runs in the primaries I will vote for him in the primary in my state. As I understand it, he plans to run if his donations reach 1 million dollars by the end of this month, as per his own words on the John Gambling show, on local station 770 AM this morning.
If he is nominated in the primaries and gets the Republican nod, I will be voting for him come the election.
I believe him to be a hundred times more conservative, and therefore more Republican than McCain, Giuliani, Romney or any other Republican hopeful so far; and as a matter of fact I believe him to be 100 times the Republican all of the other hopefuls would be if they were combined. That is why I sent him a donation tonight.
You do whatever you want to do on this one, but I recommend that you go to his site and check out that for which he stands, see http://teamtancredo.org/issues.php. Then check out the other candidates too, and start to make up your own minds. Read up on him, and his past record, and try to see if he has flip-flopped like some of the other candidates who suddenly have become more conservative and more Republican than their records would indicate. This is the man for me so far. No one else comes close as far as I can see.
As a matter of fact, here is something you might miss that is on his site, on the bottom of his bio page:
"When Tom is not in Washington, you can usually find him either trap, skeet, and clay pigeon shooting, or with his grandsons, building trains, racing cars, riding bikes, or playing ball."
Yes even though not all those hobbies are similar to mine, we all know I enjoy at least one of them and I enjoy it with my son. That he shoots with his children and grandchildren makes him all that much more dear to my heart.
I'll say it again, this is the man I think should be our next president; please check him out compared to the others and see what you think.
All the best,
Glenn B
