Filing closes on November 2 for the New Hampshire presidential primaries. 21 Republicans have filed; 23 Democrats have filed. Anyone may appear by filling out a Declaration of Candidacy and paying $1,000. It is conceivable that a few more names will be added, since there is another hour left to file.
For a list of the candidates and contact info for each, see this page from the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s site.
In 2004, there had been 23 presidential candidates on the New Hampshire Democratic primary ballot, and 14 on the New Hampshire Republican ballot.
Long-time Secretary of State Bill Gardner has said in the past that New Hampshire voters are not confused by facing this many names on the ballot.
Some one want to give me $1,000.00 for instand fame.
Does anybody have a list of all 44 candidates?
My count is 23 Democrats (Skok, Mohamed, Dodd, Koos, Obama, Crow, Hewes, Capalbo, Hughes, Kucinich, Edwards, LaMagna, Richardson, Darrel Hunter, Laughlin, Segal, Biden, Gravel, Killeen, Savior, Keefe, Clinton, Caligiuri) and 21 Republicans (Shepard, Tancredo, Klein, Huckabee, Fendig, McCain, Howard, Giuliani, Paul, Wuensche, Gilbert, Keyes, Romney, Thompson, Cort, Mitchell, Hunter, Marchuk, Cox, O’Connor, Supreme).
For some reason, Haines is no longer a candidate.
Mr. Anon is a good counter. He is right, and the entry has been amended.
Caligiuri ran for Congress nine times, three times as a Libertian (82, 84, 86), three times as a Democrat (80, 92, 94), twice as a Republican (88, 90), and once as an Independent (96). He never won a Democratic primary but he did get to the General election as a Libertarian and Republican.
Henry Hewes ran for Mayor of NYC in 1989 and US Senate in 1994 as the nominee of the NYS Right to Life Party.
Hewes said he left the GOP for the Dems in 2004 due to the War in Iraq and WOT-related degradations of civil rights.
Vermin Supreme rides again!
Al Gore will not be on the printed ballot in New Hampshire. But Democratic and Independent voters in the nation’s first primary can still write in his name on the ballot. After more than a year of non-stop campaigning by Republican and Democratic candidates, more than 1 in 7 new hampshire voters are still undecided on a candidate. Polls of New Hampshire voters show persistent support for Al Gore. Farrell S. Seiler, State Coordinator, Draft Gore New Hampshire, Littleton, NH.
Haines’ check didn’t clear.
Vermin rocked the house. Easily the most accessible and direct of the filers. And the only one to offer both an AP reporter and NH Secretary of State Bill Gardner cabinet positions.
