Overlooked?: Well, There May Be No Felix, But...

While the blogosphere debates the middle name of Barack Hussein Obama, it's worth noting the middle names of other possible '08ers:
Joseph Robinette Biden                 Willard Mitt Romney
John Sidney McCain                     Samuel Dale Brownback
Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton           Michael Dale Huckabee
Newton Leroy Gingrich                  Birch Evans Bayh
Rudolph William Louis Giuliani         John Reid Edwards
George Elmer Pataki                    Thomas James Vilsack
William Blaine Richardson              Christopher John Dodd
Wesley Kanne Clark                     Thomas Gerard Tancredo
John Forbes Kerry                      Charles Timothy Hagel
Albert Arnold Gore
And the State Dept. says Condoleezza Rice does not have a middle name. [EMILY GOODIN]

For the record....

His name is "Birch Evans Bayh III"

Yeah I'd go by "Evan" too...

Elmer? Oh that is too funny. Not that he had a chance anyway.

Hey, don't forget Richard Keith Armey, Thomas Andrew Daschle, Duncan Lee Hunter, and Tommy George Thompson. Surely any of them has as much of a chance as Pataki.

Now: who will solve the mystery of James S. Gilmore III?

Mitt Romney's first name is WILLARD?

That's WAY better than Felix.

I thought it was JOHNNY Reid Edwards.

What about Duncan Hunter?

Duncan Hunter?

According to this souce, Condoleeza's middle name is John.

But the looser, with a field like that, will be John Q. Public....

Condoleeza does in fact have a middle name. It's Chevron.

None of the other presidential candidates have a namas of a terrorist

Barack- sounds like Iraq
Hussien- Saddam Hussien
Obama- sounds like Osama
