Who could have anticipated an election where Republicans would nominate either...

[GordonGecko]

A. a candidate that more than half the Party hates and is weak and indecisive.


or B. a candidate more than half the COUNTRY doesn't like and is an egomaniac serial adulterer.


((For those on the Right who agree with my assessment....please begin discussing President Obama. ))

I've been scratching my head over this for a while. If "anybody but Obama" was such a sure fired winning strategy, then why didn't some of the more prominent prospective GOP candidates jump in the race? What were (are?) they waiting for? Were they going to mount a primary challenge to the incumbent GOP president in 4 years if they did beat Obama this year? Or were they planning on waiting 8 years until the next open primary?

As it is they're stuck with a pretty lackluster field of candidates, IMHO.

Problem they have is they have blinders on. They ACTUALLY BELIEVE that most of the electorate is like them and HATES the President, so much so that the GOP can put up any lame-o or big-headed doofus and they'll gladly vote for them.

In other words....the ABOers believe that the majority of Americans are ABO. The polls?....no, sorry, even Rasmussen shows Gingrich losing BIG time to the President and Romney only able to squeak out ties or a +2 advantage.

That is NOT the "majority" being ABO.
