1. Jim Clymer

Hey Jim Clymer is running too, who has done really well in the polls for a third party canadate. He has averaged about 5 to 10 percent of the vote. He could be an election spoiler for Arlen Specter. He is the Constitution Party canadate. I hope you consider adding his name on here. Thank you!!
