Gallup poll: majorities of GOP voters want Palin, Romney, & Huckabee to run

God I hate my party.

Isn't this just a name-recognition thing?

Yes.

In that case, it's terribly, terribly sad Gingrich is so low.

I mean, it's not officially, but as far as people like Palin, Huckabee, and Romney go it is just a measure of their maintained public relevance.  And it tests to see if people know Jindal, Crist, Petraeus, and Graham.  And the Bush name is officially dead.

Like the dream sequence in W.: "...for Jeb"

Not really.  I mean, Speaker of the House during some of the 90's isn't even remotely comparable to someone who was the #2 Republican guy during an election that just finished two weeks ago.

It all lines up very strongly with name recognition, not actual approval of a guy's candidacy.

Every American born before 1990 should know who Newt Gingrich is.

I'm not saying this like "bawww everybody else is stupid," I'm saying the vast majority of the Republican electorate should be fairly familiar with Newt Gingrich. While he hasn't been in the headlines the in the last year like all the others, I feel he should have comparable name recognition.

It's a sad day, I would have voted Rudy, vs. Obama, and I was going to vote McCain until he picked Sarah of Wasilla.

So you went from the inexperieced person at the bottom of the ticket to the inexperienced person at the top of the ticket??

That and the imbecile thing.
