Republican Presidential Candidates

[cos]

I've been saying it all year, so before the number dwindles too much more, I'll post it: All of the Republican candidates are unelectable in the primary. Not a single one of them has a chance of winning the nomination. And yet, if they're the ones running, one of them will.

This was true back when Herman Cain, Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and Sarah Palin, were part of the set. Still true now. None of them can win it, but apparently one of them will anyway.

Sure, but the current candidates have been trying so hard to appeal to the fanatical base and one-up each other on the crazy scale, they're going to be easy targets when it's time to convince the swing voters. It's hardly a locked-in victory; Obama's disappointed an awful lot of his core voters, too, and there's unlikely to be another serious Democratic contender. However, I do think the current reality-TV craziness of the Republican campaign is going to be easy to exploit.
