And then the clown car had 17: Former VA Gov James Gilmore (R) announces

http://www.mtv.com/news/2227715/jim-gilmore-president-republican-17-virginia

James “Jim” Gilmore, former governor of Virginia, is running for president. Gilmore joins 16 other presidential hopefuls vying for the Republican party’s nomination for 2016. Although his formal announcement is planned for sometime next week, right before the first Republican debate (Aug. 6), Gilmore has already filed all his paperwork to make his candidacy official.

Gilmore said he believes that the 2016 race is “running differently than previous presidential races,” with no real front-runner on the GOP side just yet –and that’s why he thinks he has a real shot. “The difference is with many, many candidates in there, there is room to have your voice heard,” he said.
