2009 - Presidential candidates

So every election year I like to check and see just how many people are running for president. According to a Federal Election Commission site,  408 people originally filed for the office of president. Of course a lot of them have since dropped out.

But according to the Politics1,com site, 125 of them are still in the running.

And what even started me looking at this was a 'who's your candidate' survey on a site called Electnext.com that was on a Bill Moyers post. And as always someone I've never heard of comes out as number one on my list. At least Obama was number 2 by one point.


Bilbo will approve of this ballot.

I looked at the list of other candidates carefully, hoping for some inspiration. The problem is, we know too much about Romney and Obama, but little about the others.

Rosanne Barr and Cindy Sheenan? Talk about a Dream Team!

Elvis - Rosanne would make Biden look like an introvert.

M and B tied, and Jill Stein -- who's she?

Grand - Jill is the candidate for the Green party. She was my number one.
