Before ya'll go patting yourselves on the back over a long list, the same can be done for every candidate. Chuck Norris?? Clint Eastwood is mostly a Ron Paul supporter. John Voight is a Romney supporter. BFD

It's the character and ideas and steadfastness of each of the candidates that is important...not names of people most of us have never heard of.
