Bombshell news of the day: Buddy Roemer, former congressman and Louisiana governor, was apparently still running for president.
After dropping his bid for the Republican nomination, he was hoping to get the Reform Party or Americans Elect nod. Maybe putting his trust in Americans Elect wasn’t the best move:
Twitter profile of @BuddyRoemer says: "Support me at @AmericansElect." but since I signed up in November, there has never been any way.

More from his campaign’s statement:
CAMPAIGN 2012: "The lack of ballot access in all 50 states makes the quest impossible for now," Roemer says… #mapoli

Lack of ballot access? Or lack of support?

So what’s next for Buddy Roemer?
@buddyroemer will start new bipartisan organization to "highlight corruption and its effect on policy and public perception."
