The more things change, the more they stay the same. While it seems to me that the GOP field contains just about every variety of Republican candidate you could possibly want, Republican voters remain unsatisfied with who they have to choose from, at least according to the most recent New York Times/CBS News poll:
Republican voters are not satisfied with the candidates running for the Republican nomination and wish they had more choices, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll. None of the candidates currently hoping to challenge President Obama in 2012 has earned enthusiastic support from more than 7 percent of Republican voters.
Along those same lines, Americans remain "closely divided over Mr. Obama’s handling of his job as president: 47 percent approve and 44 percent disapprove," and "are especially critical of the way Mr. Obama has handled the economy."
Sounds like a job for Rick Perry/Jeb Bush/Chris Christie/Rudy Giuliani/Thad McCotter/Sarah Palin/George Pataki! (Pick one.)
