I must've taken some extra pain medication before going to bed last night to have missed this; when did Rudy get into this race?  I think CNN is playing with my mind.

It's CNN...  They can get away with conducting polls for ridiculously unlikely scenarios.  They call that news

Its how they form people's opinions for them. As far as I know Palin isn't running either.

As long as they are putting people in there that aren't going to run, why not put Chris Christie in the poll. Oh thats right, he's a threat and not a RINO. Big media don't like his type. I guess in the next poll McCain and Dole will be in there too.

Buddy Roemer, 52nd governor of Louisiana.

I remember him more for losing the 1992 Governor Election, the one in which Edwin Edwards had the runoff vs David Duke ("Vote for the Lizard, not the Wizard!" or "Vote for the Crook.  It's Important.").
