I think Anybody But Obama has the best shot in 2012.
Seriously, I think the winner GOP candidate will be the one who has the money to go the distance because Republican voters will give even less scrutiny than usual to the candidates, they just want Obama out.
You watch the next GOP debate, which I think is in August. If they are still not on offense against each other, if they still refuse to vigorously contrast themselves with other GOP candidates, then money wins the GOP primary.
I am very dubious that 'anybody but Obama has the best shot in 2012' ....but I HOPE and PRAY you're right.
Voters in this country (I sincerely wonder where they come from) are so 'sheeple inclined,' so deceived and gullible ...i.e. pardon me....either DUMB....or bad people... like the candidates they having been putting in office, that it will take something akin to a Miracle...to change the downward pattern.

Every 4th of July I participate in a local parade with other combat veterans. This year I did one for the 3rd and the 4th, one for the county, and the other for the town that I live in, with a population of about 70k. Obama was our Senator before he was President, so this is not an area that is friendly to many(I should rather say, just any) republican. I had my uniform on in both parades, and I wore a Ron Paul lapel pin both days. Some of us marched in both, but for the most part, we had two different groups of people in each parade.
I did not initiate any political conversations with anyone, and the support was just so overwhelming. I could not believe, in Obama's old district, that so many regular people attending the parades, so many veterans, and members of the local government were just so incredibly behind Ron Paul. More middle-aged and old people, than youth. I would think, if anything, more people around here would be for Obama, Cain, Romney, or someone else, but I literally had at least 200 people go out of their way to tell me they also are voting for Ron in addition to the even greater number of people who simply cheered Paul-like sayings(from just saying "Wooo, Ron Paul", to "End the Fed", and "For Liberty!") from the crowd after our group passed them by.
I led the group on the 3rd, so I was calling the cadence, and I was tempted to agnowledge the other Paul supporters! There are just such a massive number growing supporters every-which way I look. And not one time, did anyone come up to me, and say anything negative, or did any other candidate get any cheers. Do not underestimate what is happening. It's far greater than just a Presidential campaign.
The left is deathly scared of Ron Paul. They will not be able to work with the guy at all.
The Republicans of the last 100 years have had a Progressive side to them. That is why it has always been the same thing no matter who you voted for in the election.
The media have pointed us in the direction they have chosen. The media is Progressive owned. Of coarse the left picks Romney. He is them, with an R.

Ron Paul - 2012
Ron Paul (weird guy) will never be nominated by any party....and will never come close to being elected President! I think this is ridiculous to discuss. The man is bland, has no speaking strength or Charisma and just won't fire up enough people. That's his MO.

How exactly is Ron Paul weird?
Where do you see more people fired up for other candidates?
Forgive me, but I would like some proof to go along with your claims.

That is what makes him so perfect.
This is not a popularity contest.
You see what that has got us for the last 50 years.

HA. Obviously mine is a keen, perceptive assessment of Paul. The proof was in 2008. Paul could not draw much over double digits. Get real, pal.....Paul is not going to be President of this country....Evah.
Wow, intelligence at its finest. I bet Reagan should have used the same logic in 1976 in his 2nd campaign, then he could have learned that he shouldn't have run in 1980. Show me substance, then we can chat. Otherwise, you are just trolling.
