A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll reported last week that 45 percent of GOP voters are not satisfied with the candidates running for their party’s presidential nomination.
While the exact same percentage said they are content with the field, the current split is a long way from the same point in 2008 when 72 percent of Republicans said they were pleased with candidates running for the nomination.
The poll comes as the 2012 presidential field is pretty much set.
Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman formally enter the race Tuesday. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann made her entry official at the beginning of last week’s debate in New Hampshire. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani continue to flirt with running. Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and Indiana Gov.

No Juan ... it wouldn’t

Hey, Juan! Stay out da Bushes!
Juan’s trying out his new schtick as a stand epp comedian. Give us some more, Juan.
No new Bushes
I know it’s time for Sarah to jump in when I hear a ‘Bush’ being talked about.
Perfect for the Democrats, that is.... No way a Bush and Portman ticket would go ANYWHERE!
now that’s just silly...NEXT!
I’m not nearly as negative on GWB as a lot of FReepers, but I see no need for Jeb.
Do you ever wonder how it is possible for any of these people to obtain gainful employment? Juan is not alone but invariably, the word “idiot” comes to the fore whenever I see him on Fox.

That being said, he's not running so it's a moot point.
