Promoted because I really want to let Bobby Schostak know its ok to smile.
I have written earlier that the republican 2012 presidential primary candidates' gallery was going to change considerably between then and the filing deadline for the February 2012 contests. (I think that November 8th, 2011, is going to be the filing deadline for the Iowa Caucuses.) Since mid-June, one exploratory candidate (Buddy Roemer) has officially entered the race, four candidates (Michele Bachman, Jon Huntsman, Thaddeus McCotter, and Rick Perry) have officially entered the race directly without bothering with an official exploratory committee, one officially declared candidate (Tim Pawlenty) has withdrawn, and Ralph Nader has claimed that President B. H. Obama is all-but-certain to be facing a credible primary challenge.
My, how things have changed.
