The only potentials that really came forward were Palin and Bachmann aka Dumb and Dumber/totally insane, and their male candidates have no one really modern-presidential. Mitt and Newt are maybe old-school presidential, good-ol boy club types but that's precisely what the country has come to hate since the 2008 crash, and of course Santorum is a fucking nut. It's amazing how the republicans could have fucked this up.

Agreed. I asked Colin Powell to run at an event I attended. He could wipe the floor with Obama on experience and knowledge, though Obama is an excellent motivational speaker.
The republican field this year is less than stellar. I don't think Santorum is as bad as he's made out to be, kind of getting a bad rap. Certainly not the best republican candidate ever, though. It does look like the really top notch republicans aren't wanting to run for the job of taking on a federal debt that just doubled, a Medicare program that has been gutted, etc. Whether it's Obama, Romney, or Santorum, the next president is fucked. We're so beyond bankrupt. I wouldn't be campaigning for that job if I could instead run a successful company or something.
