Well most of the front runners where HORRIBLE!! Newt?? really?? I live here in Ga and dont know anyone that likes him!

Romney? gag...

Cain or Santorum probably would have been better...

We have the weakest sitting president in history.. and the lousiest candidates?? how is that possible??

One factor to consider is that a number of potentially stronger candidates, like Sarah Palin, Jeb Bush, and Paul Ryan, decided to sit out the 2012 primaries. There was a general feeling that with the economy in a weak, but notable recovery and the Middle East wars winding down, that Obama would be a difficult target to beat. Romney has the organization and the money. Paul has the organization but not the money. From October of last year until March of this year, the conservative candidates fluctuated as this week's Reagan II. None (Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Gingrich, and Santorum) could sustain momentum for more than a few weeks, and in the cases of Bachmann, Perry, and Santorum, injured themselves with gaffes or past extreme-sounding statements. Cain's alleged affairs and Gingrich's actual ones weakened their viability. None of the conservatives had adequate money or organization.

The conservatives were, in the end, midgets where giants are needed.

Only if it is planned, and it is.
