Another intangible. More BS — no substance. This guy is totally beatable in 2012.
A couple of things working against that theory:
1. Republicans of recent have a penchant for picking read turds for candidates that couldn't win their way out of a wet paper sack (because they are limp-wristed RINOs who won't stand and stay put on principals- and far too many of the current "favorites" fall into that category).
2. Never underestimate the power of a stupid/ignorant/lazy electorate. Remember, 52%+ of voters (living and dead) voted for the Bummer we have in office today no matter how bad things are in the economy. They will fall for the same tired rhetoric and lies that they keep falling for (as well as the threats of loss of their juicy entitlements).
