In a (confessedly dubious) "consumer survey" poll, the Washington Post asked 800 respondents who, among the group of Martin O'Malley, Booby Jindal, Rick Santorum, Carly Fiorina, George Pataki and Lindsey Graham, was running for president. Respondents could choose one name or all six, or any variant betwixt, or choose "none" of the aforementioned group.
And here's what the Washington Post got back: "Only 7 percent of the respondents got the answer right."

A by-the-way note of importance: Freud was right. I had no conscious intention of typing "Booby" rather than "Bobby," but something deep in my id throttled my customary orthographic precision and forced my fingers to produce a somewhat figurative correctness instead. You were a sly one, Sigmund.
Did you see his brilliant defense of banning gay marriage? Hillary and Barack used to think the time wasn't right to change that either says Booby. So they used to be as wrong as we are now. Take that liberals!

On Meet the Press Chuck Todd, who was sharing the table with cheap con man Newt Gingrich, called out Booby ostentatiously for pandering. That makes it a sure bet Booby's as insignificant as a pol can be.
