As mentioned on some talk show I watched last night, once the republican party does have a clear-cut presidential representative, there is absolutely no way that person can keep ALL of the different factions of the republican party happy, no matter who it is.
Santorum = Far right wingnut.
Gingrich = Somewhere between Santorum & Romney.
Romney = Top 1% and Mormon with political leanings more towards the middle.
Paul = Libertarian and will never win the nomination.
To be honest, once all is said and done, I really believe Gingrich would have the best shot of beating Obama. Everyone else is leaning either too far one way, or the other....

In a way, I still think Romney has the best chance at beating Obama. My reasoning is that he is the standard issue stuffed shirt, plain vanilla, comforting as a moth eaten pair of house shoes candidate...with the least amount of baggage, that the Pubbies currently have.
In times of turmoil, people lean towards a Capo who appears to be a steady at the helm kind of guy who isn't prone to abrupt maneuvers. And that's the way Romney appears to me...hell, you about need to drive a stake beside him to see if he's moved or not. If he were fat, had white hair and a goatee, he could almost pass for one of those cardboard cutouts of Colonel Sanders.
Then again, I may be allowing the media to influence my perception on who is electable or not.
Believe it or not, I'm finding this to be the most boring election cycle that I've experienced. Of course, I figure that we're so far up shit creek that it almost doesn't matter who has the paddle.
Still, I'll turn out and vote for my choice of the lesser of two evils...being a good American and all.
