Proving she isn’t as crazy as some thought her to be, today Rep. Michelle Bachmann dropped out of the race to be the GOP’s presidential nominee.
Wisely, most people wouldn't want to be president of the United States of America. Of course, there are still plenty who would gladly take the job, but running for president 25 hours a day for at least two solid years isn't all that inviting a prospect for people who enjoy life.
Is that why most of the Republicans who would have been decent candidates didn't want to run for the office this year? Like, in another year would they have run?
Perhaps they were simply afraid of facing Pres. Barack Obama?
Or, did the best and the brightest in the GOP decide to sit this one out, because they could see that the Tea Party, which seems to be waning in its popularity with most Americans, is nonetheless determined to ruin the chances of any Republican hopeful who won’t stick strictly to its backward precepts?
When all the primaries have come and gone, if Mitt Romney can't close the deal, how likely is a Rick Santorum and Bob McDonnell ticket?
