The sad thing is, almost any "normal" Republican can beat Obamski, he is way way overrated at this point. He wont have the money advantage he had last time.

That is exactly the type of thinking that will get Obama a second term. Of course, most conservatives know this is not true and will work to nominate a fighter who will take it to the Dems. Members of the Crybaby Boehmer wing of the party need not apply.

That is a false choice.

Being "normal" and being a "fighter" are two totally different variables in the equation and one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. The two separate variables yield the four following possiblities.

1.) Normal fighter
2.) Normal wimp.
3.) Abnormal fighter
4.) Abnormal wimp

Charlie Sheen is definitely a Number 3.

What the GOP needs to defeat Obama is a "fighter" who does not have "abnormal" poll numbers that are lower than whale scat at the bottom of the ocean.
