If Ingram did not use her program to pee on the last fairly conservative president we had a mere 2 years ago, perhaps more people would be willing to step forward now. Given how much of the GOP chattering class stood behind G.W. Bush, I can not blame people for not rushing to seek the GOP nomination. Since both the GOP establishment and much of the chattering class will bow to the DC group think and bail on you at a moments notice, I can understand why some people have second thoughts.
Romney, Santorum, and Newt are running.
