Wide-field photometric observations of the HATNet project over the past years, along with a massive follow-up effort, have produced dozens of transiting exoplanet (TEP) candidates around bright (V<12.5) stars. In order to confirm their planetary nature, along with accurate initial characterization, they require high-precision radial velocity observations and spectral-line bisector analysis. Based on Keck/HIRES observations, seven of these candidates have been announced as TEPs (HAT-P-1 through 7), 4 more have been verified and are being readied for publication, and ~13 more remain strong candidates but need more HIRES spectra for final confirmation, while ≳10 more await initial HIRES observations. We expect an additional ~20 high quality candidates to come out by mid-2008. Based on statistics to date, 60% of those subjected to HIRES observations have been identified as hosting TEPs. We propose for 4 nights on Keck-I/HIRES for semester 2008B to finish pending candidates and also to analyze new targets. We are confident that this effort will lead to the announcement of ≳12 new transiting exoplanets.
