Unsurprisingly, Barack Obama came out on top. He just happens to be the mainstream media's newest darling. On the Republican side, John McCain's numbers are no surprise, either, because he has so much "broad appeal" (among the Left in both the Dems and Republican camps, and especially among leftist press goons)..

Surprising is that Ron Paul, who has suffered the most massive news blackout in my personal experience, (yes, this is my personal "filter" in action) is as high up in the field as he is. Don't count ol' Ron out! He was redistricted out of his old tried and true constituency in 2002 when they gave him a completely new district that included little of his old voting block - and he won with a 67 percent landslide. (By the way, "they" was the Republican majority in the state legislature. The Republican sell-outs don't like him since he consistently embarrasses them)

Also surprising is that Hillary "Ramrod" Clinton is so low in the field, as is Roodytoody "the drag queen" Giuliani, who is by most mainstream pundits misrepresented to be the "most electible" of the so-called conservative field.

Lies. All lies! (Sorry. I couldn't resist).

That was the broad perspective, the rawest of the raw approaches, by name search only, and no other criteria included.
