Here are your candidates:

Republicans
Sen. Michael Andrews, R-VA:
Libertarian rightwinger, two-term governor of Virginia. A rising star in the party, he was considered for the VP nod in 2012.

Sen. Mathew Philips, R-TX
The moderate Texan senator would be the youngest nominee ever. He has a conservative record, but is willing to work across the aisle.

Gov. Ted Bessell, R-CA
A centrist-libertarian-conservative, there's a little bit for everyone to love in Bessell's policies.

Gov. Dan Burke, R-TN
Burke is an old-style moderate, notable for straying from the party line.

Sen. James Crockett Jr., R-FL
Sen. Crockett is a young far-right tea-partyist, often mentioned in VP talks.

Democrats
Gov. Mindy Copperman, D-UT:
A conservadem, the first Democrat governor of Utah in many years. Also the first female governor of Utah. A career politician, she has a very strong campaign staff.

Sen. Eva Greene-Arbor, D-WA
A far-left Seattle-area politican, she has a very high approval rating in her home state.

Gov. Thomas Harrison, D-OR
A generic leftist, the Oregon governor would be the youngest president ever

Sen. Emily Peebleton, D-MA
The Massachusetts politician is a rising star in the party.

Gov. Nathan Agustine, D-VA
A party veteran, Agustine is often called "the smartest man in politics". He is viewed as a moderate, but a liberal champion on certain issues.

Gov. Samuel Gothic, D-LA
The Blue Dog Governor earned a surprise victory in 2011, and has propelled himself to become the face of Southern Democrats everywhere.

Sen. Brandon Korner, D-CA
Sen. Korner is a true progressive who doesn't shy himself away from some far-left positions.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

There comes a time when the party is split -- split by radically differing visions for the future. On one hand, you have the direction of 'anything goes'; a party that might lack any grounding in reality, you might even say. Completely out of touch with how people are suffering and focusing on all the improper wedge 'issues'.

We constantly have to face what is clearly low-level of critical thinking parading around as intellectualism, and it's a movement that we can't stand for. I will not stand behind a cause that I so vehemently oppose as an ugly direction for our nation for the sake of party; there ought to be a moral cause to fight for beyond stopping the other guy, and never in the history of our Democratic Party have we had such a valiant hero to guide us there. For the first time in centuries, we have a candidate who will stand up for the rights of the people against unfettered capitalism rather than making small concessions. He has proven it can work in a very red state. Samuel Gothic has fought his whole life for justice, and I know he has a long life ahead of him to make even further strides to stop our society from falling into the hands of degeneracy. Sam will restore American values and reignite the morals that make us strong. The choice has never been more clear.

Would you just look at that folks. I have the best endorsements. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it.

[Kingpoleon]

I hereby endorse Governor Nathan Agustine. His leadership in Washington on guns and gay marriage and his willingness to work across the aisle show his commitment to both liberty and centrism. His brand of liberalism is unique to himself, unmatched by any other Governor I have ever seen. His foreign policy experience from over a dozen years on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and his leadership for over three years in Virginia give him the experience and wisdom to be our next Commander-in-Chief. I'm glad and proud to endorse the smartest man in politics.

I thank Mr. Leon for his great and powerful endorsement. I am so proud of the leadership that we see every day involved in our campaign and am so optimistic for the results we can and will achieve when we all come together to fight for true liberty in our nation.

And so I see Mr. Leon's endorsement as the first domino to fall on our path to fully restore honesty and hard work to this nation!

When you all endorse one person, it gets really boring

I listed all the candidates above by the way, with a link to the signup thread.
