The Associated Press reports on presidential contenders for 2008.

Others who have raised significant funds are Guiliani and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. But both face questions about whether they can win support from Republican primary voters — Guiliani because of his liberal views on social issues including gay rights, gun control and legal abortion and Frist because of problems in the Senate caucus that he led.

More long-shot candidates on the GOP side include New York Gov. George Pataki, Sens. Sam Brownback of Kansas and Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Reps. Duncan Hunter of California and Tom Tancredo of Colorado, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former House Majority Leader Dick Armey. Most face problems building name recognition or raising the money that will be necessary to compete in this highly competitive race.
