We have presidential candidates that will not quit. Just finished listening to George Pataki, former New York governor announce he is running on Fox News. Live no less.
Question: Of the dozen of more Republicans out there, which one can win the general election? Polls still show Hillary is strong, stronger than any Republican, although only by a few points. With the exception of the isolationist Rand Paul, and Pennsylvania oddball Rick Santorum, I could vote for any of the others. This morning's TV poll has five of 'em polling 10%, and the rest of them trailing off from there.
I think the winner might be the one who sets out a platform with some substance in it. So far all I see is smiling faces saying "elect me". The "Contract with America" worked for Newt Gingrich 20 years ago, it's a good schtick, someone ought to try it again.
