The AP asked candidates for their favorite reality television program.

I haven’t watched any reality TV since “Murder in Small Town X,” so I may not be the best judge. But I would nominate:

Most Common Answer: “American Idol,” by Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, and Mitt Romney.

Worst Answer: “C-SPAN coverage of the U.S. House of Representatives. No time for other TV,” by Dennis Kucinich.

Best Answer Designed To Refute Breck Girl Image: “College basketball,” by John Edwards.

Oddest Answer: “Fox News,” by New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. Boy, he really is a red state governor.

Most Common Category Among Republicans: Sports, as Giuliani and McCain said baseball.

Other favorites: Sam Brownback watched ’The Amazing Race’ last season, Huckabee watches “Nashville Star” and Duncan Hunter watches Versus, previously called the Outdoor Life Network.
