It's way too early to trust polls, they won't have much meaning until just before Iowa and New Hampshire.

Ben Carson won some kind of poll today, the Huckster was barely noticed.

The Huckster's NOT a serious candidate, clearly in it to try to sap votes from other conservatives, make some money in the process and hopefully he will be shown the door very soon.

There are many who don't realize that what you are saying is a standard procedure to keep one's resume in circulation. I don't think Santorum, Perry, or Huckabee really expect to be the nominee.

I don't think any big donors really expect them to win.

That makes asking the motives of each group a fair question.
