GOP Candidate buzz for 2012

Hey everyone,
I was wasting time on gallup today and noticed this public opinion poll from a couple weeks ago regarding the likely candidates for the GOP ticket in 2012, you can see the info for yourself here. Looks like Huckabee has the most support so far, amongst the general populace and the republicans. I thought this was especially interesting since we have been discussing the American South and how many presidents have come from that region.

The fact that Huckabee is leading isn't all that surprising, but Romney and Palin tying for second is very interesting to me. Earlier in 2009, he was the front-runner in a similar poll, with a sizable lead over Palin.
