Ooh look at this, the Wall Street Journal (the in-house journal of the Republican elite) is not happy with the current crop of GOP Presidential candidates.
Some selected highlights:
Above all, it doesn't matter that Americans are generally eager to send Mr. Obama packing. All they need is to be reasonably sure that the alternative won't be another fiasco. But they can't be reasonably sure, so it's going to be four more years of the disappointment you already know.
Ouch!
As for the current GOP field, it's like confronting a terminal diagnosis. There may be an apparent range of treatments: conventional (Romney), experimental (Gingrich), homeopathic (Paul) or prayerful (Santorum). But none will avail you in the end. Just try to exit laughing.
Double Ouch!!
A primary ballot for Mr. Gingrich is a vote for an entertaining election, not a Republican in the White House.
Stop it, you're killing 'em!
On the evidence of his campaign, Mr. Romney is a lousy CEO.
This is just unfair!!!
What about Rick Santorum and Ron Paul? They are owed some respect, especially for the contrast between their willingness to take a stand for principle against the front-runners' willingness to say anything. But Messrs. Santorum and Paul are two tedious men, deep in conversation with some country that's not quite America, appealing to a devoted base but not beyond it. Sorry, gentlemen: You're not going anywhere.
"...in conversation with a country that's not quite America." I'll have to remember that one.
And the U.S. will surely survive four more years. Who knows? By then maybe Republicans will have figured out that if they don't want to lose, they shouldn't run with losers.
Man, this is what there own team thinks about them! What chance have they got?
