Senator John McCain

 National Delegates
Earned
1253

John McCain, born August 29, 1936 in the US-controlled Panama Canal Zone, Senator from Arizona. Often characterized as a Republican maverick in the Senate, he is a well-known political figure in the United States. In 2000, he failed in his attempt to deny George W. Bush the Republican nomination: McCain continued his ultimately unsuccessful campaign long after the other Republican candidates had united behind Bush.

McCain's bipartisan compromise on judicial nominations and his strong support of campaign finance reform have drawn the ire of many groups, many of which have vowed to work against any McCain campaigns for the Republican nomination in 2008. However, he has a strong stance on many issues and economically falls more along the lines of traditional "fiscal conservatism." These factors, along with his commitment to the War on Terror (including Iraq) have boosted his popularity amongst conservatives since 2004, when he emphasized these traits while stumping for Republican candidates. If elected, he would become the oldest person in history elected president, surpassing Ronald Reagan, and if elected to two terms, McCain would be the oldest sitting president in U.S. history.

On November 15th, 2006, McCain announced that he would form an exploratory committee.

On "The Late Show with David Letterman" on Feb 28, 2007 Sen. John McCain announced he will seek the GOP presidential nomination, and made a formal announcement on April 25, 2007.

Mitt Romney, born March 12, 1947 in Michigan is the former Governor of Massachusetts; he did not seek a second term in November 2006. Romney has made numerous trips to primary states such as South Carolina, Michigan, and New Hampshire during recent years. Romney is running on his record as co-founder of Bain Capital, the CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympics, and his record as Governor of Massachusetts. Although he ran as a moderate for the office of Governor of Massachusetts and during his failed Senate bid in 1994, he supported more conservative positions as his term progressed. He is also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (a "Mormon"). Romney filed paperwork forming an exploratory committee on January 3, 2007, the day he left the governor's office.

On January 9, Romney raised $6.5 million in his first fundraiser, beating both Giuliani and McCain's fundraising efforts ($1 and $2 million respectively).

Romney has already received major endorsements, including that of former Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert.

            This campaign has been suspended

Romney officially announced his candidacy on February 13 at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.  He suspended his campaign on Wednesday, February 6 but has not released his delegates.
