Rasmussen: Palin 64%, Huckabee 12%, Romney 11%

[Mr. Morden]

Jindal 40-21 approve/disapprove???  Why?

He's a non-white.

Actually, I think the poll is just kind of screwy.  I also think there's no way that 61% of Republicans know who Jindal is.  I'm sure it's way lower than that.  In all likelihood, a large share of that 21% is people who have no clue who Jindal is, but say they have an unfavorable opinion of him because the only thing they're going on is his name.

Good ol' 4 years early polls.

Cuomo '92! Gore '04! President-elect George Allen!

Gore wins in 2004 without 9/11

Which means about as much as saying, "Bush wins in a landslide in 2000 without California, New York and Illinois in the Union."

no...  obviously in the early polls that had Gore ahead, nobody knew 9/11 would happen, especially not Gore himself.  I am sure that he 100% intended to run again until 9/11 changed the landscape.

The early polls? They were taken when...in May 2001? Yeah, that means a lot.

Again, it's a moot point. 9/11 did happen and it happened early in Bush's term so arguing that Gore would have won without it happening is pointless.
