There are many things that I find odd about the remaining Republican candidates, not the least of which that none have been endorced by the RNC and other conservative insiders. None of the three are capable of capturing the conservative base and a sufficient number of independents to win the general election.
I have to wonder what is going on with the nearly insurmountable Republican campaign machine. I can think of only two strategies that might be in play by them, and ustwo has already suggested one of them. The next four years are going to be hell on earth and why not let the Dems get blamed for it all in 2012?
The second strategy that I think might be in play is that another candidate has been waiting in the wings to reunite the conservative party. (Something like Fred Thompson, but with significantly more passion.) It would be Rovian brilliance to let this bunch continue their circular fireing squad at great expense to their campaigns, then introduce a savior of the party.
The wild card still waiting to be played is Bloomberg as an Independent.
