founder-pastor of Crossroad Baptist Church
in Pensacola, Florida. He was the presiden-

2008 U.S. Presidential election and had pre-
viously been its nominee for U.S. vice presid-

program, "Chuck Baldwin Live", and writes a
daily editorial column carried on its website,
on VDare, and in several newspapers.
As a Republican Party member, Baldwin

president, and Paul in turn endorsed Baldwin
for the presidency in the 2008 general
