Unfortunately, he was conservative but wasn't crazy. (Oh, and here's a list of the 342 people who have officially filed for the office of President.)
Edit: Just saw some Wise County guy on Facebook that the media "doesn't want you to know about" this man. Really? What about the other 300+ people on the list?
Edit: Uh. Oh. Just how excited are the Republicans about their candidates? Four years ago, 1.94 million voted in Florida's primary. Yesterday they pulled in just 1.66 million.

He's no Don Cornelious!
Wish he'd run for Precint 1 commish!
Reasons for lower turnout in this primary:
the candidate last time around was right square in the middle of their demographic. This Romney person is a whippersnapper!
The place is called God's waiting room for a reason. Three quarters of a million of them who voted last time are probably gone now
I for one am in no way excited about Romney. HE IS A SNAKE. If he's the nominee, I'm staying home.
The New Black Panthers must have been patrolling the polling places again. They have immunity from Eric Holder.
Is that Wynonna's old tour bus?

Some of the names on the candidate list are hilarious. What is even more funny is if you look up their paper work on the links and check out the actual document they filed.
My 5 avorites are:
George Bailey
President Emperor Caesar
Ole' Savior
Jonathon The Impaler Sharkey
HRM Caesar St. Augustine De Buonaparte
I was disappointed not to see your name Barry.
I can understand a "not happy with any of the Republican candidates" attitude. That's because in the primaries voters are looking for the perfect candidate, one who matches them issue by issue. In November, their standards won't be so impossibly high. They'll be excited to vote for anyone not named Obama.
Maybe some of the Florida republicans that didn't vote were some of the 12,000 American Airlines employees that are losing there jobs and they are out looking for work along with the 10% of the labor force that is unemployed (according to the congressional budget office).
Do you think that is the hope and change we were promised?
I voted for O last time. Blame it on youth.
I am voting for ABO this time.
3:05, AA was screwed under Bush, not Obama. If there was a war in the Middle East, business was down. Not partisan, just fact.
Obama didn't run American into bankruptcy. The executives who give themselves huge pay and bonuses are the culprits.
Word Kyle, While disagreeing with you frequently, you appear to be thoughtful. How you can accept any of the candidates put forward by the Republicans astounds me. There must be better and qualified Republicans who actually have a consistent political and moral position. Until they are available, most of us will again support Obama's attempt at a better government - if he could get any cooperation in congress.
OK folks throw out the invectives.
1158 - How can I "accept" any of the candidates? The same way I'm forced to "accept" a President that I worked very hard to defeat. As flawed as the Republican field is, I would consider any one of them a vast improvement over Obama. My favorite would be the one who would work hardest to reverse the damage Democrats have done.
* Obamacare was forced through by a Democrat majority, based on lies (the "ten year budget," double counting Medicare funds,) already resulting in higher insurance costs, and the promise that "you can keep your own insurance" when the Obama administration is doing all it can to drive insurers out of the market.
* The Obama administration seized control of General Motors and violated existing bankruptcy laws to award Chrysler to its union allies.
* The Obama administration "loaned" half a billion dollars to a favored company owned in large part by an Obama fundraiser; when the company was clearly about to go bankrupt, the Obama administration renegotiated the contract so that said fundraiser got paid before taxpayers.
* You want consistent? Obama is the epitome of inconsistency. He campaigned against government spending under Bush, and then led Democrats as they doubled the spending. They correctly observed a problem, then did all in their power to make the problem worse. Obama railed against Gitmo; it remains open. He threatened to prosecute CIA operatives; the CIA program is essentially what it was under Bush.
* Obama refuses to take responsibility or consequences for his own actions. He's been in office three years, yet still blames Bush. He did everything to cut Republicans out of all legislation his first two years in office, yet now insists that the Republican House cooperate with him.
* Obama has denigrated, condemned, apologized for, demeaned and diminished the United States. It seems to me the President ought at least to like the country he wants to lead.
There's more, but maybe you get a hint of why I support an imperfect Republican against the rotten-to-the-core pretender that currently holds the position.
