As a current GOP Congressman said at a reception I attended last week when asked whether the GOP will have any good choices in 2012. "Let us pray... Many GOP candidates are waiting until 2016 so this election will have to be won by the GOP on the issues."
Now my question that I didn't ask was who would be the last person to win election completely on the issues and not on appeal. I can only think of Bush 1 vs Dukakis, but I don't think Dukakis/Ferraro had a chance after Reagan.

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – In what some fundamentalist preachers are calling a “partial Rapture,” all credible candidates for the 2012 Republican nomination have mysteriously vanished from Earth.
While this seemingly Biblical phenomenon has been developing over the past several months, the disappearance of Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels over the weekend confirmed what many apocalyptic prophets had been predicting: a partial Rapture was underway.
For Rev. Harold Camping, the minister who made headlines by predicting that the entire world would end on May 21, the partial Rapture offered some measure of vindication, he said.
“The world really did end, Republican-wise, when Daniels dropped out of the race of May 22,” he said. “So I was only off by one day.”
According to Camping’s prophecy, Republicans with a shot of winning the White House have completely vanished from the face of the Earth while a series of surefire losers have been “left behind,” including Herman Cain, the former chairman of the Godfather’s Pizza chain, who announced his candidacy – significantly, Camping notes – “on May 21.”
As for the Biblical prophecy that those left behind after the Rapture faced “five months of Hell on Earth, Camping said, “That’s a pretty clear reference to what Newt Gingrich has in store.”

A Sarah Palin MOVIE? ..:freaky: ............ maybe this is her way of throwing her hat into the ring.
.
"Scott Conroy of Real Clear Politics reports that in November, Palin asked filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon to make “a series of videos extolling Palin's governorship and laying to rest lingering questions about her controversial decision to resign from office with a year-and-a-half left in her first term.” Instead, he offered to make a full-length feature, with a budget of $1 million, for which he supplied the financing. The Undefeated (which sort of sounds like it should be a Ben Affleck caper movie, not a political documentary) will premiere next month in Iowa, then will be rolled out in New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada. (Weird how he didn't pick New York and L.A.!)"

I guess they're rolling out the movie in the order of the caucus/primaries.

Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin lead a smaller Republican field for their party's presidential nomination, in a new Gallup Poll that's the first national survey since Mike Huckabee and Donald Trump said they would sit out the 2012 race.

I won't vote for any ticket that includes Sarah Palin. She's a joke.
Gallup poll
Newly announced presidential candidate Herman Cain, although still not widely known, has the highest Positive Intensity Score among Republicans of any potential GOP candidate still in the race. The positioning of two other candidates who have recently announced presidential bids -- Tim Pawlenty and Ron Paul -- has not changed. Both have average or below-average appeal among Republicans. Newt Gingrich's Positive Intensity Score is below average, and is down from the week prior.
Georgian Cain, former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, officially announced his presidential candidacy on Saturday. His Positive Intensity Score of 27 matches the highest yet recorded for any candidate or potential candidate this year. Cain's name recognition among Republicans remains quite low -- at 33%, better than only Gary Johnson's 20% and Jon Huntsman's 27% -- but has climbed 12 points since March.
Many observers argue that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is the front-runner for the nomination at this point -- even though he has not officially declared his candidacy. That's based partly on his showing in trial heat balloting, on which he and Sarah Palin do best. Romney is well-known, but his Positive Intensity Score of 14 is exactly average for the candidates tested, and shows little change over the past six weeks. In short, Romney is not generating a lot of strong or intense feelings among rank-and-file Republicans, although his broad favorable ratings are among the highest of the potential candidates Gallup tracks....
