That has been added.<br /><br />As for Christie and Bush (and to a lesser degree Perry and Jindal), I continue to have them as "undecided", despite, their rather constant stream of noes simply because they continue to be asked. Admittedly time is running out and the noes will become much more definitive relatively soon.<br /><br />I'll add a footnote for Christie and Bush and dig up Jindal's and Perry's last noes.<br /><br />As for, gulp, Trump, well, that's the first time I've typed his name on this blog.

He will be treated as in when he is actually in.Josh Putnamhttp://frontloading.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-11244671157622555762011-05-14T23:43:47.304-04:002011-05-14T23:43:47.304-04:00Pataki announced two weeks ago that he's not r...Pataki announced two weeks ago that he's not running:<br /><br />http://www.seattlepi.com/default/article/Pataki-won-t-run-will-tackle-debt-1346302.php<br /><br />Also, I'm pretty sure that Bush, Christie, Jindal, and Perry have all said on more than one occasion that they're not running. Christie says it nearly every week.<br /><br />The only potential candidates who are publicly in the "I'm thinking about running, but I don't have an exploratory committee yet" phase are Bachmann, Bolton, Daniels, Giuliani, Huntsman, Palin, and Trump. Trump somehow didn't make your list.astrojobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643324377144064814noreply@blogger.com
