REPUBLICANS HAVE NO ELECTABLE CANDIDATES...Huntsman?

Staying on the subject of nominating candidates for president, I want to comment on the mess that has arisen among Republicans and their choices for president.

Obviously winning IOWA does not mean winning the country and winning IOWA does not mean you are ready for prime-time debating. IOWA spawned Bachmann and Perry as front runners and now the Republicans want nothing to do with them.

Now they are asking Christie (NJ governor) if he would please run for president because now they know Perry and Bachmann are unelectable.

Christie is not ready and he should get older and lose some weight before he seriously tries for the office BUT what about those Republicans with no one credible to put up against Obama and this is their BEST ever chance to defeat Obama; they have nada.

Yes, I am discounting Romney because even though I regard him as capable and smart, he has been such a flip-flop artist that people don’t really take him seriously.

I am still for John Huntsman and I feel he is the only credible challenger to Obama. I do like Ron Paul but he is also unelectable.

During some of the debates the audience was heard booing a gay soldier asking if don’t ask, don’t tell would be brought back if a Republican wins…yes. The audience cheered when Perry admitted he has executed more prisoners in Texas than anybody else, this in the face of mounting evidence that many death row prisoners are actually innocent.

Until and unless a moderate Republican crowd gets into the nominating process, the extremists will put up unelectable candidates that appeal to their narrow conservatism but are just a joke to the great majority of American voters.

This election is for the Republicans to lose and right now they are heading in that direction.
