Countering Obama's glitter with substance

Bobby Jindal has some polishing of his stump skills to do, and some foreign policy experience to acquire. Besides, he appears disinclined to run unless The One makes such a hash of things that beating him would be a slam-dunk.

Sarah Palin has been marginalized by the Tina Fey factor, and her obvious lack of national experience and shaky background on the issues to which a credible presidential candidate must be able to speak with authority have to be addressed before she will have a realistic chance to win in November.

Mike Huckabee also needs national experience, and Mitt Romney remains as plastic as ever- besides being crippled by the willingness he displayed last time out to savage fellow Republicans for the sake of his own candidacy, a tendency which has left a permanent bad taste in the mouths of many of the party faithful.

So who should the Republicans run against The One in 2012? Here's a suggestion- and a good one.
