South Carolina Republican Primary Has 11 Candidates

Filing closed for the South Carolina Republican presidential primary on November 1. The fee was $25,000 for candidates who filed before May 2007, and $35,000 for those filing afterwards. Eleven individuals paid this fee. As expected, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, and Fred Thompson filed.

In addition, 3 lesser-known individuals filed. They are Dr. Hugh Cort of Mountain Brook, Alabama; John Cox of Chicago; and Cap Fendig of St. Simons Island, Georgia. An earlier version of this post said that Dan Gilbert of Asheville, North Carolina, had filed, but he didn’t finalize his paperwork.

  1. “This country has nothing to fear from the crooked man who fails. We put him in jail. It is the crooked man who succeeds who is a threat to this country.” Teddy Roosevelt

    What about the crooked woman who takes campaign donations and tells not the FEC.

    I am encouraged to see a man like Duncan Hunter in the race. He has a platform, and a good platform at that. I feel the other candidates do not have platforms , do not know history or their place in it. The sooner our people recognize this the better!

    “Is America a weakling, to shrink from the work of the great world powers? No! The young giant of the West stands on a continent and clasps the crest of an ocean in either hand. Our nation, glorious in youth and strength, looks into the future with eager eyes and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.” Teddy Roosevelt
    Letter to John Hay, American Ambassador to the Court of St. James, London, Written in Washington, DC, June 7, 1897

  2. Help us out here guys. Exactly where can we get on the ballot? You all are the experts. Have we missed all the primary deadlines or can we make maybe New Hampshire and in both parties since they have not even picked a date yet? If we can’t run for a major party nomination, can we get on the November ballot as anything or run for some other party nomination? Please write back:
