Among well-known Republicans, former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia and U.S. Representative Ron Paul of Texas have both formally announced their candidacies. Romney, who has led in some early polls, has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to raise money for a potential bid, as has former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.
Other potential candidates include former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, both favorites of the Tea Party movement.
Herman Cain, the former chairman and chief executive officer of Godfather’s Pizza Inc., and former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson also have declared their candidacies. And former Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer, a Democrat-turned- Republican, has formed an exploratory committee.
