Republican presidential primaries, 2012
← 2008
2016 →
Incumbent President

Barack Obama
Democratic



The Republican presidential primaries for the United States presidential election of 2012 will be held in the 2012 calendar year and be used to determine the presidential nominee of the Republican Party.

Calendar

Guidelines for primary and caucus dates

A temporary committee of the Republican National Committee (RNC), set up in 2010, recommended a new plan. Under this plan, the traditional states (Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina) would hold their events in February; states that elect delegates proportionally could hold their events in March, with winner-take-all states and any other remaining states holding their events from April onward.[1] The amendment was passed in August 2010 by the full RNC by a vote of 103–41.[2]

Straw polls

Main article: Straw polls for the Republican Party presidential primaries, 2012

Several Republican and conservative organizations have held straw polls to test the support of potential presidential candidates among their respective memberships.[citation needed] The Ames Straw Poll, which traditionally receives major media attention and sometimes causes candidates to withdraw from the race, will be held on August 13, 2011.[citation needed]

Formally exploring candidacy

Roy Moore
Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama

(website)

Announced the formation of an exploratory committee on April 18, 2011.[48][49]

Buddy Roemer
Former Governor of Louisiana

(campaign) (website)

Announced the formation of an exploratory committee on March 3, 2011.[50][51]

Speculated

The following is a list of individuals who are being discussed – in two or more unique, reputable sources that are less than one month old – in regard to the 2012 primary. They are listed in order of the date of the most recent media citation.

Speculated to run

Sarah Palin
Former Governor
of Alaska
July 5, 2011: U.S. News & World Report: "Big crowds are being urged to flood the openings of The Undefeated, the movie about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's political rise, the latest indication that the 2008 vice presidential nominee is still looking for a signal from the public that it wants her to run for president."[52]

June 7, 2011: The Daily Caller: "(Palin's) most die hard volunteers are busy organizing independently for what they believe is a certain bid for the White House in 2012.[53]


Rick Perry
Governor of Texas
July 5, 2011: KUT News: "There is much excitement surrounding a potential Perry candidacy, perhaps because of a lack of excitement over the rest of the field."[54]

July 5, 2011: The Hill: "Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) will likely decide in the next several weeks on whether to run for president in 2012, a spokesman said Tuesday. "[55]

File:David duke belgium 2008.jpg
David Duke

Former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives

July 4, 2011: The Daily Beast: "Add to the growing list of candidates considering a bid for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012 America’s most famous white-power advocate: David Duke."[56]

July 5, 2011: The Atlantic: "White supremacist and former Louisiana state representative David Duke confirms he's mulling tossing his hat into the 2012 presidential contest."[57]


Rudy Giuliani
Former Mayor
of New York City
June 23, 2011: U.S. News & World Report: "As perhaps the only candidates whom the voters see as having national security experience, a perception arising from the strong leadership he exhibited on 9/11 and in the days and weeks after, Giuliani is in a position to build a .... coalition, one that is based on areas of agreement among conservatives, rather than areas of disagreement. It’s a winning plan."[58]

June 27, 2011: Seattle Post-Intelligencer: "Rudy Giuliani is set to return to New Hampshire on July 14 for a two-day visit, sources confirmed. It will be Giuliani's sixth Granite State trip since his 2008 run, and falls as he's debating his future in the 2012 cycle, with a loose, self-set deadline of end of summer for making a decision."[59]


John R. Bolton
(from Maryland)
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
June 20, 2011: National Review Online: "If John Bolton runs for president — and he very well might — he will run to win. 'I would not run as a one-issue candidate,' Bolton says."[60]

June 22, 2011: Richmond Times-Dispatch: "Bolton said he is 'thinking about' seeking the Republican nomination to run for president and will make a decision by Labor Day."[61]



George Pataki
Former Governor of New York
June 20, 2011: The Wall Street Journal: "Mr. Pataki, whose name seems to surface every four years as a possible Republican presidential candidate, really hasn’t been mentioned much this year. But the trip to Iowa comes after his group, No American Debt, ran ads in New Hampshire and aides told the Journal that he was considering a bid."[62]

June 20, 2011: Politico: Pataki "was visiting Iowa for an event hosted by his fiscal conservative group, No American Debt, and confirmed that he's still undecided on a possible White House bid. But Pataki sounded more like a man considering the presidential race and potentially willing to give up a comfortable post-political career."[63]

Declined bids

The following people, who were speculated to be potential candidates for the Republican Party nomination for U.S. president have – following the 2010 midterm elections – clearly and unequivocally denied interest publicly, or released Shermanesque statements, or have declared candidacy for a different political office in 2012, etc. This also includes anyone who has endorsed a declared presidential candidate.
