Ooops. When the hardworking staff called the roll of Republican presidential hopefuls yesterday, we inadvertently omitted a whole nother batch.

Via Politico Playbook:

#1:   “Jon Huntsman’s resignation from his post in China is effective on April 30 … On May 7, Huntsman is slated to deliver a commencement address at the University of South Carolina, an event that will mark his first trip to an early primary state.”

Huntsman (R-Unmade in China) will have to explain to diehard GOPniks why they should reward him for defecting to the Obama administration.

Okay – keep ’em coming:

#2:   “Republicans across the country will get their first look at how some of their candidates present themselves and engage one another on May 5 when Fox News and the South Carolina GOP host the race’s kick-off debate in Greenville. Confirmed so far are Pawlenty, Santorum, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) and former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer. Up in the air – in part because of their decision-making timetables and in part due to the state party’s requirement that candidates have filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to participate – are Barbour, Bachmann and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The other potential Republican candidates, including Romney, are unlikely to attend.”

Besides adding Paul (R-I’m the Gold Standard) and Roemer (R-It’s Not Pronounced Rumor) to the list, we would also like to say hello to businessman Herman Cain (R-I’m Able).

Whew. That should be all of them. At least until tomorrow.
