GOP split over possible 2012 contenders

A poll conducted by CNN essentially puts the 2012 GOP candidates as the same who were at the forefront in the 2008 election. Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, and Mitt Romney were the top three vote getters, which is a bit surprising considering how unsuccessful the party was in generating support for them last time. I would think a new upcoming member of the party would be better served to run considering that I do not believe either of these three political figures represent enough to counteract Obama's popularity at this point. Palin seems to be caught up in tax scandals and would get treated harshly by the media again. Romney is now coming out against President Bush, but it may be too little too late. Huckabee just seems like a Southern Republican who would not appeal to a nationwide audience.
