Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett announced the names of the candidates who will appear on the ballot Tennessee's scheduled March 6th, 2012 Republican Presidential Preference Primary yesterday. The Republican candidates that Tennesseans will have to choose from in March are Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, Rick Perry, Charles “Buddy” Roemer, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum.
Tennessee Republican Chairman Chris Devaney said yesterday that no matter who Tennesseans choose, that alternative is better than the current specimen of leadership in the White House. “All of these candidates are running on a platform of creating an economy that fosters job growth, simplifying our overly complicated tax code, and fixing our government’s spending and debt problem." Indeed, the Tennessee GOP is adopting, via its website and other social and public media, an official posture of "Not Obama 2012." "These are the things Americans want to hear from their President, but are not," stated Devaney in a Monday release, "instead they get President Obama’s failed stimulus spending policies, bailouts for failing businesses, and no leadership on our country’s debt problem."
Secretary of State Hargett stated to media sources yesterday that he contacted attorneys for now-former Republican Presidential candidate to confirm that Cain did not wish to be listed on the March ballot, and his representatives confirmed that this was indeed the case.
