I seriously don't understand the voting public anymore, or at least those that respond to polls.
Democrat or Republican, it's as if inexperience and personality completely trump experience and intelligence. First over 50% elect the most inexperienced president in history, who ran on feelings and not substance, and has presided over the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression or Carter Malaise (not sure which, but both were bad).
Now in response to this presidential election cycle, one that should be a teed-up softball for Republicans, the base constantly pushes dithering blowhards instead of qualified candidates. Now we have Herman Cain, while he may be a nice man with his heart in the right place, pushes poor domestic policy and has nothing of value to say on international affairs.
I seriously don't understand how people like Ryan, Daniels, or Christie didn't take advantage of this opportunity.

Right, because it's Obama that's responsible for the lack of recovery and not the political gridlock clusterfuck that has become our Congress.
Honestly, Obama's like the best Republican president this country has seen in ages. If the actual Republican party hadn't gone batshit crazy and taken four steps to the right in the last 20 years, he'd look perfectly normal on your platform.

There are 15 recovery bills sitting in the Senate waiting for Reid to bring to the floor. This president and the democrats are playing politics just like the republicans.

These are the conditions under which Obama came to power - its like getting pissed off at a WWF (or WW, or WWE, w/e) wrestler for not actually fighting. Take interest groups out of the equation and then maybe a public body CAN actually function to serve the people who elected them, not the people who fund them.
