U.S. Presidential: slow race among the Republicans

Washington Correspondent - At exactly one year from the New Hampshire primary, which should launch the campaign for the presidential election of November 2012, no Republican has yet volunteered to take on the likely Democratic nominee Barack Obama. At this stage of the count-down, fifteen suitors Democrats and Republicans, whose current president and his vice president, had already declared their intentions for the 2008 election.

The race for the Republican nomination, which would see the candidates begin to place the day after the midterm elections in November, has been transformed this year into a slow race. While there is no doubt that Mitt Romney, a Mormon former governor of Massachusetts, an unsuccessful candidate in 2008, intends to represent, no announcement has yet been made.

And John Boehner, the House Speaker, said he had never seen a field "as open" as this year. Candidates await a favorable moment to declare: gold, currency has been charged. They also expect to occur, to see which way the wind will turn into the arm-of-war with the President's budget and which faction of the party will take over: the trend as "manager" who think that voters require compromises one who thinks that the intransigence of 2009-2010 was paid and it would be suicidal to change tactics.

A failure to declare potential candidates accumulate meetings fundraising tour to promote their book, like Tim Pawlenty, former Governor of Minnesota, and travel in states crucial in the race for the nomination. What the political scientist from the University of Virginia, Larry Sabato, calls "the invisible primary." Mr.

Sabato has identified nineteen potential candidate, Mike Huckabee, the former pastor who has overcome her hearing evangelical chapels with his electric guitar, to Newt Gingrich, the ideologue of the anti-Clinton 1994, John Bolton , the super-hawk, former UN ambassador, to the businessman Donald Trump, who came to "sell" his candidacy for the main meeting of conservatives (CPAC) last week in Washington.

Mitch Daniels, Governor of Indiana, is favored by the press, which he welcomed the large feathers for discussions on the role of government. John Huntsman, a Republican, Mormon, too, has to resign from his post as ambassador to China to prepare themselves, they say. It would have the advantage of being in tune with a country obsessed with the Middle Kingdom, but the serious handicap of having worked with the Obama administration.

Sarah Palin seems to look more and more side "public relations". She lost ground after his comments on the shooting of Tucson (Arizona), January 8, which had killed six and twelve wounded, including a parliamentary democrat, Gabrielle Giffords, hit by a bullet in the head. And polls give Palin way behind Barack Obama in the general election.

Rest Jeb Bush, the "little" brother of George W., the 43rd President of the United States, himself the son of the 41st president. Former Governor of Florida, married to a Latina, Jeb is for many the best position to represent both the pro-life faction, as pro-business. His name doomed but some of his supporters were recently presented to test the waters.
