Election 2016: Meet the GOP's outsider candidates http://t.co/PhXzyeNuYD
— Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) May 8, 2015Mainstream media already have a few favorites among the Republican Party's rapidly growing list of long-shot 2016 presidential candidates.
With the recent entries of Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson, and Mike Huckabee into the race, the Republicans now have multiple declared candidates who score single-digit percentages in RealClearPolitics' average of polls. Other one-digit players expected to enter the race include New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Sen. Rick Santorum, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Sen. Lindsey Graham, and others.
But being an unlikely 2016 choice doesn't necessarily mean the press won't be interested in your campaign. A few unlikely GOP hopefuls boast of an impressive amount of media attention.
