One thing I've done in the past is use the Who's Who books that can be found in most libraries. I copy down those that consider themselves either Republican or Independent, do a 411 and call them. Another thing is a "gizmo" that all modern campaigns have on their website. You copy & paste it onto your own site, other blogs, comments, etc. When someone clicks to donate the campaign knows it came from you (it's personalized) and they keep track of it. Using just those two things, I was able to raise a bit over $40,000 for Fred.

They put Sarah Palin’s picture in the front.

And it looks like Ron Paul is winning, no surprise there.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Sorry, that is incorrect.

[Vinnie]

He is NOT a natural born citizen as both his parents were NOT U.S. citizens at the time of his birth in Louisianna.

That requirement has likely been trashed.

What little I've seen of him though has not impressed.

At this moment I'm going with Palin. Possibly Thune.

Jindal’s eligibility is debatable. Courts have ruled both ways on “natural born”.

He does meet the 14 year resident requirement.

I personally think he qualifies.

[Jane Long]

Aahh...very impressive. Sarah will welcome your support, I'm sure, should she decide to run.

Palin/Bachmann 2012 sounds good to me :-)

[Retired Greyhound]

Mitch Daniels.
David Patraeus.
Steve Wynn.

In other words, there are many possibilites. We shouldn’t be deciding in spring 2010.

Macaca

(just kidding).

[monocle]

You had better take a refresher oourse inimmigration and what constitutes a naturally born citizen. Have you ever heard and considered what the term “anchor baby” means?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Ron Paul is a cult leader, like Jim Jones, David Koresh, Marshall Applewhite, Marcus Garvey or the like. That means that Governor Palin is actually winning.

[lonestar]

Then why do we have “anchor babies/”

[Smokin' Joe]

Barry Goldwater? Joe Mc Carthy? Ben Franklin?

Oh wait. Not options.

Why gin up the Dem spin machine so they can pick the candidate early (again)? Let 'em wait.

[Smokin' Joe]

That requirement has likely been trashed.

Funny, I haven't heard of any Amendments. Just because someone did wrong doesn't make it the new policy that continuing wrong or repeat performances are ok.

[apocalypto]

I would like to see Hunter/Bachmann, but I am not optimistic that it will happened.

[AlanD]

Newt Gingrich for President? That has to be a joke.

Usually Newt is promoting one of his books on book tour and pretends he is going to run, in order to gin up his book sales.

[AlanD]

Yes! Duncan Hunter! That is the ticket!

Duncan Hunter will win by a landslide. At least 40 to 45 states! He has such good communication skills and charisma!

Anyone who doesn’t support Duncan Hunter for President is most likely a RINO!!!!

[longtermmemmory]

NO RINO

no mccain

no crist

no dole

[CharlesWayneCT]

Unless you think of Palin as just another cult leader, in which case Somebody Else is winning.

[2ndDivisionVet]

"Unless you think of Palin as just another cult leader, in which case Somebody Else is winning."

She is, if you call "patriotic real Americans who work for a living" a cult.
