Ron is "Someone Else"

[Razmear]

The latest CBS poll of course neglected to ask about Ron Paul or any of the other 2nd tier candidates, but it does show an interesting trend:

Now
Giuliani 36%
McCain 22%
Romney 15%
Someone else/none 21%

4/2007
Giuliani 47%
McCain 25%
Romney 10%
Someone else/none 13%

Giuliani down 11%
McCain down 3% (thought that would be more)
Someone Else up 8% to more than 1 in 5 Republicans.

Well, Ron is definitely Someone Else, so I'm looking on the bright side of this poll.
Also, if 21% of the people say Someone Else, shouldn't that be a hint that CBS should add some more names to their poll.

I wonder...did they include the others and then lump them all together as "somone else" for publication?

 

[Razmear]

Not according to their site, they asked it as assuming there were only 3 to pick from.

Wow, that certainly is a huge jump for "someone else!"

Someone else is Fred Thompson.

Same here. I'll say it again. I have no idea why people have exalted him.

name recognition and only name recognition.
