    Don't forget the theocrats. They hit the jackpot with Ronnie, too.

    At this time in 1991, Clinton was a longshot.

    Doesn't change the fact this GOP field is garbage.

    And by 2011, not a single intelligent American had this thought cross his/her mind either :D

    Not true. Reagan had charisma. If Huntsman had a 10th of the charisma that Reagan had, he'd be owning this thing.

    There's not a Clinton or a Reagan in this field.

    I disagree that it's garbage, but it definitely contains garbage.

    Huntsman's problem is less lack of charisma than the fact that he served in Obama's cabinet. That right there disqualified him among the GOP primary electorate which not only wants to beat Obama, but loathes him even more than it loathed Clinton.

    The GOP candidate who really could have done something but lacked charisma was Tim Pawlenty. He has to be kicking himself now.

    If Huntsman had 10 times the charisma that Reagan had, he'd still be a former Obama administration employee.

    You seem to be basing your electoral analysis on a nonexistent Republican electorate that respects rationality and nuance.

    Dear Lord Baby Jesus, lying there in your ... your little ghost manger, lookin' at your Baby Einstein developmental ... videos, learnin' 'bout shapes and colors ... please let the GOP nominate Newt Gingrich. Pretty please. With sugar on top. And a cherry.
