Huckabee & Gingrich are generic Southern Republicans that will do well in the Bible Belt states.

We already knew this before these polls and 2012 will be more polarizing in these states should one of the 2 guys from above be nominated.

They have no appeal though in western states such as CO, NM, NV - thus securing Obama re-election.
