When the 2012 GOP primary goes back and forth (9 months before our convention), it's necessarily because all of the candidates stink.

Do I have that right Spence?
Not completely...

I think the Dem's in 2008 saw two positive candidates and the issues you mentioned weren't considered as major factors by primary voters.

As for the GOP, every candidate running is flawed in the eyes of the establishment, so flawed in fact that they lack confidence any one of them can beat the person you think is the worst president in the history of the USA.
