But it's important to consider that Obama's the only one having a great deal of attention focused on him--most of it, I believe, negative, which doesn't help. You could just as easily argue that once he's got an actual candidate, he'll see an increase in support, especially when this candidate decides to go full on Teabagger (i.e. describing how the auto bailout was the greatest crime in the history of humanity). Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised to see that some of these numbers are a bit inflated for Republicans. People might not remember exactly why they dislike Gingrich right now, but if he were the candidate, they'd get a quick reminder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-86173701825106836272011-03-26T01:20:05.417-05:002011-03-26T01:20:05.417-05:00Wow: I guess no good deed goes unpunished.

These are the best-known candidates at the Republicans have had in a long time, and the more people get to know them, the less they like them. They're losing BECAUSE people know them, not because they don't know them or because they like Obama a whole lot. No Republican has won MI since HW Bush's landslide over Dukakis.Dustin Ingallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599131416393266722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-74637349370861048492011-03-25T12:59:33.275-05:002011-03-25T12:59:33.275-05:00It's nice to see Scott Walker down by Palin ma...It's nice to see Scott Walker down by Palin margins.
