Gallup is desperate for headlines; says "The republican candidate" leads Obama in a poll

[Theo Haffey]

Read it an laugh. "Republican Candidate" Extends Lead vs. Obama to 47% to 39%": http://www.gallup.com/poll/148487/Republican-Candidate-Extends-Lead-Obama.aspx

Um...there is no republican candidate, and this "unnamed" candidate always performs n unrealistically better than a real person.

1. It's pretty scary to look at initially, but if you look at the matchups between

specific candidates, you feel a lot better. Especially when it's looking like Michelle Bachmann's gonna win the Iowa caucus!

2. I hope generic Republican doesn't enter the Republican primary.

It would probably win easily, and would be a lot tougher than any o the current contenders, esven though it does have a lot of baggage.

3. The generic candidate
