The Great Communicators of 2012

Brad Philips ranks 18 possible 2012 Republican presidential contenders -- and President Obama -- on their communications skills.

Notes Phillips: "Most pundits analyze a general election by looking at the same old measurements, such as unemployment data, consumer confidence, and early polling. But they always miss a reliable predictor: the more gifted media spokesperson has won every presidential election since the beginning of the 24/7 media age in 1980."

The leaders: Marco Rubio, Haley Barbour and Mike Huckabee.
