All of this ranting for naught. At this point in time a front runner is not that important. Seems to me that early on in the previous election there was a bit of movement in the standings in the democratic primary race, not unlike what is going on now with the republicans. That is before the media got so tight with 0bama. That's pretty much the way primary races go. Rest assured, the day after the primary election there will be a front runner.
The problem with republicans is that "they" dont know who they are. They tried parading around with tea bags on their heads for awhile and when the country lost interest in them and their favorablility rating dropped to the low 30's, the word tea party disappeared from the headlines.
Others are trying the same old nonsense about religion, abortion and guns, and that is falling flat ( just ask rick santorum and michele bachman)
Some are trying to call themselves "outsiders" but have nothing but "insiders" telling them what to do.
Meanwhile, the republican voter is having trouble finding one person they can say is "like them" in a candidate and that spells re-election for Obama. You all can pretend this is normal, to have a jillion candidates all closely tied months into a campaign season and the rest of us just laugh.
The whole GOP race has been a joke so far, starting with Trumps rise to the top and the C9 clammoring about his experience, and then POOF! He's gone. Then Sarah Palin is running around and she's getting the attention, then she opens her mouth again about Paul Revere and POOF! Shes gone. Then Romney comes out and leads the polls before the first debate and then his flip flops start to haunt him and POOF! He's in second. Then comes Michele Bachman, she vaults to the top for a moment, and then all her stupid statements surface and POOF! Shes gone. Tim Pawlenty, who spent a KABILLION dollars running around Iowa like the invisible man goes on the air and proclaims hes the front runner and serious contender, and POOF! He quits. Then all the talk is about Gov Perry jumping into the race, all the hype prior to his annoucement and he leaps to the top, the GOP crowd cant wait, the C9 starts to brag about him, he enters the race and then POOF! Hes gone. Then comes Herman Cain, who nobody was paying any attention to. He was running around doing his thing but nobody was attacking him, mainly because nobody was taking him seriously.
So, while all the others were busy taking themselves out of the race, CAIN by default goes to the top.
As the GOP faithful were abandoning ship on the other candidates, they were looking for a political rescue ship in Herman Cain. Bobbing in the water, CAIN started to put the GOP drifters into the boat, but now that he's on top, the only place to go is ......(drumroll please...)
DOWN!
As CAIN begins to take the spotlight, he is faced with gaff after gaff. Its only a matter of weeks until his ultimate sinking and the GOP faithfull have to abandon ship once again.
Thats the real dilemma for the GOP, they will have to "settle" for someone they dont want. The GOP was so busy trying to re-invent itself, it lost who they are.
Romney isnt christian enough, Santorum is too religious, Newt is too old, Paul is too old, Bachman is too phoney, Perry is too dumb, Huntsman is ....WHO?, Cain is too washington as his relationship with lobbyist suggests, so whos left?
Christie is too fat, Palin is too full of personal drama and likes NBA players....(wink), Trump is too full of himself and Johnson is TOO HIGH!
This is the real problem for the GOP. WHO ARE THEY? They dont seem to know.
Peace.
