Perhaps there aren’t any electable Republicans right now.
The party is going to die without some new blood, or a triumphant return of some old heroes.
Depending on the economy, Palin could easily beat Obama in 2012. If the economy stinks, Palin beats Obama. If the economy is great, Obama beats Palin. At least that the way it usually goes. When the economy is fantastic, the incumbent usually wins. When the economy is terrible, the incumbent usually loses.

Newt?
I’m forever turned against Newt, since I saw that commercial on TV with Pelosi and him sitting on a couch, in a desert, babbling about global warming. Far as I’m concerned, he should be banished to the desert for eternity.
Maybe you were thinking of Colin Powell, yeah, that must be it. (/s/)
