To many of us it’s too early to be thinking of who can be the most viable GOP Candidate for 2012. Maybe there will come upon the scene our ideal, unblemished candidate. Someone waiting in the wings with an armful of conservative credentials to burst out into the spotlight; clean,  constant and compelled to run. Now others will be thinking in terms of “So What?’ That question may be followed up with an introspective inquiry about who will be the most viable of the Democrat divas. Well here is a brief analysis from AP writer Phillip Elliott. What are   your opinions and insights; and does it matter, because you think President Obama will triumph in ’12.

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney is the godfather of what Republican critics call Obamacare. Newt Gingrich is an adulterer on his third marriage. Tim Pawlenty is too green — environmentally, that is.

Jon Huntsman worked for President Barack Obama. And Haley Barbour has come off as dismissive of racial segregation.

Is any potential Republican presidential nominee without vulnerabilities that could alienate voters, especially those in the GOP primaries, and provide ready-made attacks for opponents?

Not in this crop.

The 2012 Republican field is deeply flawed, lacking a serious GOP contender without a personal misstep or policy move that angers the party base. Each of those weighing bids has at least one issue that looms as an obstacle to White House ambitions, and that could derail the candidate if not handled with care.

 

So who do you see as the best of the best to run this country at this time in our history?
