The Economist provides the handy chart below assessing the Republican presidential field for 2012.

The bottom line?

If this is the best the Republicans can do, they might as well concede right now.

The sad news is Romney will be the nominee. The rest of the story is that Oh Bummer will be re-elected.

I honestly believe there will be a tide of revulsion that sweeps romney down the electoral toilet that this nation has never seen the likes of.

He won't be the one.

There was a clip on C-SPAN this morning of Michael Scheuer talking about how politicians from both parties pretend that Saudi Arabia is a friend when in fact it is a dangerous enemy--it has bankrolled the propagation of militant jihadist Islam around the world for decades, and the effects of that can only get worse.

If the Saudi family were overthrown, there's a real chance they would be replaced by something worse, an even more fanatical regime but one that is openly anti-American instead of covertly so.

Yep, same answer.

Here’s a question: Are any of you actually doing anything besides whining on a website? Are you a PC? Are you working within the Republican party to make sure a viable candidate is nominated? Again, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[Marathoner]

So, $5/gallon gas next summer won’t matter? Yeah, right.

The last on this list- John Bolton- is still my favorite.

The issue is not his Mormonism.

The issue is Romney is an establishment phoney RINO.

I know Mormons that I would have no difficulty voting for. He is not one of them.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

Any man who has funded Harry Reid is the enemy of freedom.

[Terry Mross]

See my tagline.

[nhwingut]

You are a lefty troll, spewing pure nonsense.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

[MountainDad]

She really is stupid.

Wish I was that "stupid".

Save that talk for PDS'ers at DU

[Arlis]

This is a sad indication of how bad off the country is, how deceived our populace has become. In light of the economy, the debt, and a hundred other things, ANY REPUBLICAN OUGHT TO CLOBBER OBAMA.

That not one does tells me that apart from divine intervention, and deep, fervent prayer by God’s people, this country is picking up speed on its downhill slide approaching a point of no recovery.

[SunkenCiv]

We got our new Reagan, he’s Obama (that’s what the media sez).

I love the pros and cons for John Bolton. :’D

Thanks Perdogg.

Sarah scares everyone else?

Good! Go Sarah!

The sad news is Romney will be the nominee.

He won't. There's something oleaginous about him that no amount of campaign organization can overcome.

[magritte]

Hey Texas...I live in the South...lots of Evangelicals wouldn’t vote for Reagan if he’d been a Mormon...you’re classier than that...magritte

I think Herman Cain would have an excellent chance of defeating BO in a general election, but I doubt that he could get the Republican nomination because that party will inevitably select a destined-to-fail default candidate such Gingrich. Mr. Cain could take the whole deck of race cards off the table while mopping the floor with BO in any kind of debate.

I care a lot, and I am a Mormon. That said, I don’t trust any of them (Mormons), they cannot be independent thinkers and be a true believer in Momonism. Mormonism treats women very little better than Islam. No Mormons, no Muslims for me.
