Washington Times: "GOP presidential field needs a dose of excitement"

I completely disagree.
There is one candidate with a flawless resume, which is Ron Paul. If you look at the man's Congressional career for the past 30 years, you have extreme consistency unlike Herman Cain's support of the TARP bailouts and many other inconsistencies with others.
While I'm not going to use this blog to support just one candidate because I'm rather outspoken on who I support, I think this silliness with the Republican Party wanting "excitement" will only result in a potential 2012 loss.
Let's face it - being a conservative is not "exciting" compared to other political parties. Republican issues are not exciting either, but that's a good thing. It means that we are serious about campaign issues and serious about life in general.
Would the Republican Party and top Republican leadership throw away 2012 on some type of "Hail Mary" pass to some Republican version of a freshman Senator from Illinois like Barack Obama? We know the Republicans would throw up John "Amnesty" McCain and Sarah "Is Africa A Continent Or A Country" Palin so why would this GOP Obama not be off the table with the Republicans?
I think the Republican Party should look at polls and throw it's support behind the Republican candidate who is closest behind Barack Obama, not that "Hail Mary" candidate that is 20 - 30 points behind Obama, the candidate that is less than 10 points behind Obama which is Ron Paul who is 7 points behind.
It allows Congressman Paul to surpass Obama with that 7 point deficit and beat Obama by 15 or up to 25 points if Obama continues to mess up on foreign and domestic policies like he keeps doing and the continuing controversy over his birth certificate by WND Editor Jerome Corsi, who has filed charges with the FBI accusing that the latest copy of Obama's birth certificate is a forgery and White House administration are behind the forgery of an official document which is a crime.
In a Republican presidential field where no top-tier candidate offers a flawless resume, the question facing GOP primary voters is whether they can find a diamond in the rough — a standard-bearer who embodies the party’s conservative backbone and can give President Obama a run for his money.

Newly announced presidential candidate Herman Cain, although still not widely known, has the highest Positive Intensity Score among Republicans of any potential GOP candidate still in the race. The positioning of two other candidates who have recently announced presidential bids -- Tim Pawlenty and Ron Paul -- has not changed. Both have average or below-average appeal among Republicans. Newt Gingrich's Positive Intensity Score is below average, and is down from the week prior.
