So, who is emerging from the ashes on the GOP side after getting beaten in the race for the White House? Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, and Mike Huckabee lead the list according to a Gallup poll conducted Nov. 5-16 among Republicans.

Asked who they would like to see run for President in 2012, 67 percent chose Palin, 62 percent chose Romney and 61 percent said Mike Huckabee. Gen. David Petraeus, Rudy Giuliani and Newt Gingrich scored in the high 40s. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, frequently touted as a rising star in the party, garnered only 34 percent who wanted to see him run against 36 percent who didn't, but his biggest problem may be recognition - 30 percent had no opinion. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham both drew big thumbs-down.

Palin, Romney and Huckabee all finish in the same order among Republicans who identify themselves as conservatives. The top choices among those calling themselves moderate or liberal is Romney (59 percent) and Giuliani (50 percent). Both Palin and Huckabee fall to 48 percent and 46 percent respectively among moderates and liberals.
