The Republicans need to nominate Newt Gingrich. None of them can match Obama's debate skills, but Newt is the only one that Obama can't walk all over.
The expanding 99% movement could rally liberal voters and not only put Obama back in, but give Congress back to the Dems. I think these protests are going to grow dangerously large next year and the potential is there for political riots in the US for the first time in decades.
How the left felt in 2004 when Bush got re-elected is how the right will feel in 2012. I think they will be even more crushed though. Conservatives know that an Obama win and losing congressional seats would be a serious blow to modern conservatism (which is already on life support).
IMO the only man that could have done it for the Republicans is Donald Trump, but he was never serious. It was a publicity stunt. His life is too comfortable as a Wall Street celebrity.
