5. Let's not be self-deceptive... this is absolutely ridiculous...

Personal opinions aside, let's be honest with ourselves, especially when creating a list titled, "All declared candidates for President 2012". Keyword:, "all". If by any chance there was any purposeful ignorance in your list, or literal omission in your list, then you are being illogical and a plain liar saying, "all".

Let's all keep in mind that the top three third party-parties for years have been and are still the libertarian/green/and constitution party. Anyone who knows even a little about U.S. politics should know this! You only included one of these parties... (I'm leaving out American's Elect, as they did not arrive at a nominee at the end of the primary process, still pending whether or not they will actually run anyone)
Jill Stein is almost on a majority of state ballots already! You include the Alexander/Mendoza ticket when leaving out three parties on many more state ballots! Alexander is only on Colorado so far.

In order of most to least state ballots so far that you missed.
