Jonah Goldberg identifies "24 people who are beneficiaries of nontrivial presidential buzz."Each one of these, except for one or two, are names that are out there and have been on my political, although not necessarily my presidential radar screen these last several months. That said, I don't think that General David Petraeus is a player this go-around. He is working at denying it and he already has a day job."Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, John Thune, Tim Pawlenty, Mitch Daniels, Mike Pence, Rick Santorum, Haley Barbour, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Paul Ryan, David Petraeus, Ron Paul, Jeb Bush, John Bolton, Bob McDonnell, Jim DeMint, Chris Christie, Herman Cain, Gary Johnson, Judd Gregg, Marco Rubio, and Rick Perry."
My choices, at this time, are Chris Christie and Herman Cain.
I know.
But, about a week ago, The Daily Caller had a report that Mr Cain, former head of Godfather Pizza, was going to soon form an exploratory committee.
At least he has run something larger than his classroom.

Some people play "fantasy baseball". Other people start handicapping partisan political presidential primaries two years in advance. I'm not sure which is the greater waste of time, though I've always said to those critical of my fantasy sports habit that the main thing is that it's fun.
