That's definitely a weird list. Herman Cain? Mitch Daniels? Sarah Palin? MICHAEL STEELE? I think the theory of more conservatives running, the better chance Christie has is correct, but the list is straight goofy.

If I were to poll, I would try this:

Rubio
Christie
Santorum
Jindal
Ryan
Bush
Paul

And possibly in addition:
Walker
Carson
Martinez
Perry
McDonnell
Sandoval
Pence

[Likely Voter]

The most interesting thing here is Santorum. Usually in the GOP the guy who came in 2nd or 3rd gets a good sized base to start with the next time they run. Yet he is being beat by Herman 'how bad do you want this job?' Cain. It shows that his support was never really about him, he was just the last not-Romney standing
