I heard this today as I was watching "Morning Joe" on MSNBC:
"The Republican primary race has really been a choice between the unlikeable and the insufferable."
~ Tina Brown, Editor-in-Chief, Newsweek Magazine
This is a very interesting summation of the Republican candidates for President in 2012. Who are the individuals who would have been more likable, sufferable or even desirable to the Republican Party as candidates for President? Do such individuals actually exist? And why didn't they run???
Maybe the question really needs to be: What is considered likable, sufferable or desirable for a presidential candidate in the Republican Party? Maybe if that question were answered, then the more preferred presidential candidates could be found...
But I suspect that this close to the presidential election, even if that question were able to be answered and the more preferred candidate found, that it is too late... and Republicans will be stuck with either Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich or Ron Paul... none of whom have been endorsed wholeheartedly and without any type of reservation by leading Republicans, and all of whom are still running for nomination as the Republican candidate for President in the 2012 campaign.
