On November 1, the Florida presidential primary ballot candidates’ list was released. The list is the same as the Georgia list. The method of choosing candidates in both states is the same; the list is drawn up by the legislative leaders of that major party and the party state chair.

The 8 Democrats are Biden, Clinton, Dodd, Edwards, Gravel, Kucinich, Obama and Richardson. The 9 Republicans are Giuliani, Huckabee, Hunter, Keyes, McCain, Paul, Romney, Tancredo and Thompson.

Alan Keyes is now in a strong position to be in future Republican presidential debates, since he has been listed in both Florida and Georgia by party leaders.
