Democrat -Republican list of potential U.S. Presidential candidates

Okay folks, in my attempt to assist in the process of more "informed voting" choices, I felt compelled to post the current list (below) of political (Democrats and Republicans) figures who have formed or are in the process of forming their respective U.S. Presidential "Exploratory Committee" for the 2008 election.

So, if you choose, you can do your own Internet research and/or other forms of research on each of those individuals listed. And remember, it would also come in handy if you do a bit of research on the varying “issues” plaguing America and its economy.
(THE LIST)
Democrats:
John Edwards, Former North Carolina senator
Chris Dodd, Connecticut senator
Tom Vilsack, Iowa Governor
Dennis Kucinich, Ohio congressman
Barack Obama, Illinois senator
Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York Senator

Republicans:
Sam Brownback, Kansas Senator
Jim Gilmore, former Virginia governor
Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor
John McCain, Arizona senator
Mitt Romney, former Massachusetts governor
Tommy Thompson, former Wisconsin governor

Here’s to the issues!
