mike huckabee i dont think had a lot of recognition. i dont really know much about him tbh.
Aren't you almost acknowledging what i said? That it's media exposure that's important and not name recognition.
ummm yes and no. yes that when you dont have name recognition, but you get excessive media coverage (and favorable coverage) then that helps, but i still dont think its better. by feb. 4th im sure almost everyone in america was familiar with his name at least.
