How can you give Giuiliani only a B+ in Name Recognition?  Practicially everyone in the country has heard of him.

Yeah, and a B for McCain is probably too low, too.

I don't know too much about 2008 sites, at present.  Have you tried getting news alerts? It can be pretty time comsuming, especially if you are following the "field" . I'm paying particular attention to Bayh - and it's mostly Indiana business that comes up in google

You should crop those images instead of stretching them weirdly to fit into the width dimension you want.  Also you have a space between electability.  And "Signs Of Running" is sketchy. John McCain and Giuliani don't have to show signs for a while. They can switch on their operations in a heartbeat. It's not clear what a high ranking is supposed to mean exactly.

So, do you think I should drop the "Showing Signs of Running"?  I included it because some are really making moves like Bayh, Hillary, and Frist.  But others are just laying back and sorta' denying that they are even thinking about running. 

Overall do you guys think the rankings are pretty on or pretty off?

I don't have the time to look through them all, but they're OK so far, except Condi is definately not a C+ for base acceptability.

You also have Democratic spelled wrong on the toolbar for that bloc.

I ranked him pretty high because I see him being the Howard Dean of 2008 without the baggage. Majority of the "Deaniacs" are already running to Feingold. He is definitley going to be a contender.

He's more like Dean with charisma--unless the nominees end up being ranked by their wealth again.

What do you think Gingrich's chances are? After all, he's promoting his newest book in suspiciously low-book market areas of Iowa and New Hampshire.

Don't make me laugh...

The guy'll be out of the running quicker than Dan Quayle was.

Splendid, especially coming from a Republican Smiley

Hey, I like Newt.  And I think a lot of other Republicans do too.  But the guy's patently unelectable.
