If Steven Colbert were actually in the race, he'd be ahead of everyone but Romney, and running a close second. |

Huntsman should have done better -- he has experience, good ideas, was articulate and reasonable -- he was in every way "presidential material". But then again -- the extremist nayboobs in the GOP do not care much for people with experience, good ideas, who are articulate and who are reasonable --- which probably explains why he didn't catch on in the GOP Primaries. |

I agree. Traditional Republicans would have found Huntsman to be a viable candidate. The TeaBagger Republicans see him as "almost a socialist". A Huntsman/Christie ticket would have given Obama a real challenge. |

The DNC chose Obama over Clinton. Explain that using your GOP analysis. |

You had no problem voicing you opinion about the whole GOP, you must hold the same opinion of the DNC. Especially based on the experience factor. Obummer had virtually ZERO experience. And it shows. |
