They have Obama and he is as much of a big business republican as they could hope for. Sort of like Clinton. Did anyone really think Dole was the strongest candidate the GOP could come up with in 96? I really fear that the best and brightest have no interest in politics at any level and that is why we have the assortment of crooks, whackos and ego maniacs that we have. I have to admit, the Republicans win the whacko and ego maniac category hands down. I can't recall either of the mainstream parties before this year having nutcases like Palin (for a while), Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Santorum and Gingrich as serious candidates after several months of discussion and "debates." Ron Paul, of course, falls into his own category. -- http://flickr.com/gp/hakr/8272ug |

I don't know,in my lifetime, the democrats have had Strom Thurmond, George Wallace, Robert Byrd, Gary Hart, Jesse Jackson and Jerry Brown (back in his "moon beam" days), actually winning a primary. I am not sure we even remember the "also rans" but I am sure we had plenty of crazy sombitches who never made it to the primaries. Gary Hart and Jerry Brown are not whackos. And the gaggle of guys you mentioned didn't all run in the same primaries. Nothing tops the gang of losers seeking the GOP nomination next year. -- http://flickr.com/gp/hakr/8272ug |

I agree the GOP has a pretty weak field right now tho. The reality is, the last major party candidate I voted for was Reagan. It's not just that they comprise a weak field...it's that so many of them are so weirdly bizarre. -- http://flickr.com/gp/hakr/8272ug |
