Honestly, I think every single one of the Republicans in this election are "also-rans". I don't think a single one of them can overcome the Billary / Obama machines, and Ron Paul is just enough of a factor to work to take votes away from the only potential Republican candidates. Add to that a general national disgust with the current administration and a deep desire because of that disgust to try anything other than a conservative Republican. The Dems have it in the bag. God help us.
You're gonna be surprised come election... SO many people don't want a women or a black man in office regardless of their affiliation and that's the sad truth of the matter. It will be a republican in office simply because of that fact alone.
I can't stand Hillary or Guilani so I won't vote for them. I can't stand Obama's stance on gun control and a few other issues so I doubt I'd vote for him. That leaves one of the reps, and the only two I really like pretty much don't have a chance anyway. Chances are I probably won't vote at all....again...
The Dems big battle cry is "time for change" but I'm not seeing anything that I consider change. Just more of the same rhetoric. The reps for the most part are just driving forward with a status quo approach as usual which also leaves bile in my throat.
I guess all in all, anyone but Guilani or Hillary and I'll be happy, though I won't cast a vote for any of the current "front runners" anyway.
I read somewhere that we don't have two teams looking for our vote, but one team playing shirts and skins......
