re: #303 Targetpractice

Really, out of all the current GOP “hopefuls,” the only one that’s not lugging a millstone around his neck is Paul. Ryan and Rubio have both damaged their brands by supporting “amnesty,” while Ryan also has the stink of ‘12 on his resume. And Christie’s persona non grata, who will probably have to settle for running for Congress before he can consider a presidential run.

It’s going to be interesting because for the first time in a while, they have no next batter up. McCain was that in 2008 having lost to Bush in 2000 and Romney was that this past year having lost to McCain. There is Santorum but I honestly don’t know if he’d run again and I think he lacks the popularity with the corporate donors that one needs to win.
