Splendid reader Michael Pahre sent this comment about our GOP presidential hopeful roll call:

Since you are calling the roll for declared candidates, undeclared candidates, and possible-to-likely candidates, isn’t there a Wasilla elephant in the room who you are neglecting?

Last time I checked, the odds for her nomination victory had dropped after her ill-advised post-Tucson-shooting video, but she still looks in the game from a gambling perspective.

That would be Sarah Palin who, along with thin-again proselytizer Mike Huckabee, is currently on the Fox News payroll.

The hardworking staff will include them when they stop taking paychecks from Fox News.

Our roll call, our rules.
