He needs to have a wikipedia article and at least 2 reliable sources (other than his own website).Ratemonth (talk) 21:48, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Here is his article: Lee Abramson, and here are 2 sources that seem reliable: http://insurancenewsnet.com/article.aspx?id=303527, http://www.marketwatch.com/story/musician-seeks-presidency-2011-11-17. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Green4liberty (talk • contribs) 21:21, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Why the Greens Matter Less to Obama 2012 The President is doing little to woo the environmental vote. The bottom line: Greens have threatened to withhold support for Obama’s reelection. To date, oil industry types have donated triple what greens have.

Candidates for republicans and democrats.

This is how it look likes now:

3.1 Democratic Party

3.1.1 Candidates gallery

3.1.1.1 Other candidates

3.1.1.2 Withdrawn Candidates

3.2 Republican Party

3.2.1 Withdrawn candidates

3.2.2 Candidates gallery

3.2.2.1 Other candidates

Why are withdrawn candidates under Candidates gallery for the Democratic party but not for the Republican party? Shouldn't it be the same categorization for both parties?

80.216.207.74 (talk) 12:37, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I think it should be the same categorization for both, and that "withdrawn candidates" should be at the bottom of both lists.--NextUSprez (talk) 21:40, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

This would mean that the major and minor candidates would eventually all be combined under the Republican Party. This would violate the agreement. I support the removal of withdrawn for the Democrats for consistency.--William S. Saturn (talk) 21:57, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Should we add that Herman Cain withdrew from the campaign? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.81.221.237 (talk) 05:28, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Democrats See a Two-Horse G.O.P. Race, Adding a Whip by Jeff Zeleny and Jim Rutenberg published December 7, 2011 New York Times, excerpt ...

The White House and its allies are starting to turn their sights to Newt Gingrich, invoking his tumultuous history as House speaker to brand him as the “godfather of gridlock,” a testament to his new viability and the sudden realization that he could be President Obama’s Republican opponent.

Consistency of naming articles

At present, there is no consistency over whether the six articles for the Republican presidential race should have "(United States)" in them, with 3 of them having it:

Republican Party (United States) presidential candidates, 2012
Republican Party (United States) presidential debates, 2012
Statewide opinion polling for the Republican Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2012

and three articles not having it in the title:

Republican Party presidential primaries, 2012
Nationwide opinion polling for the Republican Party 2012 presidential primaries
Straw polls for the Republican Party presidential primaries, 2012

Could we agree on whether to say "Republican Party" or "Republican Party (United States)" and apply that consistently across all articles? Personally, I'd be in favour of just saying "Republican Party", unless any other Republican Party has presidential primaries in 2012? Tiller54 (talk) 16:21, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

I agree. They should be consistent and just say "republican party" if there are no other republican primaries or debates in 2012 in other nations. The same should go for the democratic party articles, too.--NextUSprez (talk) 18:39, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

 Done The candidates & debates articles have been moved to say "Republican Party" for consistency with the other aforementioned pages, as there was no apparent need for disambiguation from other 2012 Republican Party articles.--JayJasper (talk) 14:59, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

You missed one - Statewide opinion polling for the Republican Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2012 - I tried to move it myself, but it wouldn't move! Tiller54 (talk) 18:40, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

You're right, I missed that one, but someone got it moved. Looks that we're consistent and up to speed now.--JayJasper (talk) 18:27, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Delegate numbers don't match

Not sure why, but it should be fixed. The delegate numbers listed on the chart here, are not in sync with those found here. Gage (talk) 01:06, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
