Former Virginia governor James S. Gilmore III has decided to form a committee to examine running for president in 2008, casting himself as a fiscal conservative with executive experience and national security credentials.

Well glad to learn about these other guys. I see those brief biographies but does anyone know of anything significant they have done? I dont want to discount anyone simply because the media care.

Isnt it interested that Hillary isnt scoring in the top 3? Although i think it be more interested to see the results with Kerry out since he isnt running. Im also wondering if we should be keeping an eye on Wesley Clark.
