[Rational Thought]

I might be misreading this, but it seems the Republican establishment is desperately looking for someone to promote, out of fear that their current candidates aren't going to be able to withstand the challenge from another Governor (whom they have no control over) who looks ready to declare.

That’s exactly what is happening.

I recommend they try older names, they’re not going to get anywhere with these unknowns. Someone came up with Trent Lott. How about Lamar Alexander, Dan Quayle, Condi Rice, someone who has been around a while, is well known, decently well liked.

I mean, someone like Romney, but without Gay Marriage, Romneycare and Mormon. Any reasonably old and well known Republican who is not closely associated with things that Republicans hate or are weirded out by.
