The Republican Party is once again desperatly seeking a candidate to unite the extreme with the corporate establishment. Mitch Daniels destroyed hopes in the party by deciding that he would not run. With Corporate Donors without a clear place to throw the money names are suddenly being thrown into the ring that previously weren't thought of.
Influential Corporate dollars are attempting to coax Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush , Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell or New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to run. After stoking the fire of the tea party the GOP establishment seems to be in a bind. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is considered the closest to a front-runner, but his support for his state's health care plan has destroyed him with the far right and doesn't appear to be recovering.
With Daniels out of the race, the GOP is back to square one, looking for a candidate who can keep the big money happy, and keep the base Energized. Can such such a candidate materialize in time? The field is looking scarce and Tea Party favorites like Bachmann or actually gaining momentum....
