The problem with all of these GOP candidates is none of them are electable. Most of them have tried to be elected president many times in the past and they weren't electable then nor are they electable today.
Added to this the one's the haven't tried in the past are pretty much religious whack jobs from the left over religious right that hasn't jumped that bandwagon for the tea party hey ride.
The Herman Cain guy is just a nut case and Ron Paul. I mean really? Again? Same with McCain.. where do these guys keep getting campaign money?
While maybe Newt Gingrich has come a long way, he still has that past of his extreme right wing radio days and will never appeal to the middle ground. He would easily be defeated in this era of 10 second sound bite advertising.
I just honestly can not get my head around what the GOP thinks when they try to put these types up as "their best" chances of getting elected.
Out of any of them Mitt Romney at the very least created a working health care system in Mass when he was Gov. As far as I know the only one in the US, but that will never fly with the right wingers cause that's all socialist and stuff.. Damn liberal he is and they don't even know..
