Two of their rising stars, Mark Sanford and John Ensign have been caught in extra-marital affairs, which goes down badly in a party famous for nauseatingly fake religiosity.
Only one in 3 Americans view the party favourably.
Finally, not only do the Reps not have the intellectual rigour to come up with their own ideas to oppose Obama but they have nobody to deliver the message.
Things are very bleak for the GOP.  |
Pauli, i assume this is her leaving political life. Would not make sense for her to launch a new presidential bid without a governorship.
If thats the case then its a good think for the Republicans to at least get her off the stage. otherwise she would have been a focus for the religious right to coalsce around.
Are they in a good position no but i think they would have been in a worse position if palin had muscled her way into a role as a leading republican
