January 21 was the Vermont deadline for filing for the presidential primaries. Candidates needed 1,000 signatures.

Republicans who filed are Giuliani, Huckabee, McCain, Paul and Romney. Democrats who filed are Clinton, Edwards, Kucinich and Obama.

In the Liberty Union primary, only Brian Moore (Socialist Party presidential nominee) filed. The Liberty Union presidential primary is binding, so Moore will be the Liberty Union nominee in November in Vermont.
