Candidates for the 2012 Presidential Election are already circulating, gearing up for a bid for the White House. Senator John Thune (Biola University graduate) is receiving a lot of support not only from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, but from many others as well.

Tim Pawlenty did not seek reelection last November to his Minnesota governorship, but instead is traveling to support fellow conservative leaders across the U.S. and to promote his book Courage to Stand: An American Story.

Potential candidates include 7 Evangelical candidates, 2 conservative Catholic candidates and about 5 others.

Beginning with our next issue, I’ll review each candidate and give our assessment.
