Frank LUNTZ- None Of The Republicans "Impressive Enough To Beat Barack Obama"
As the runners for the Republican nomination brace themselves for the rush of primary elections, starting with New Hampshire, one of the party's most respected pollsters and strategists has said [n]none of the hopefuls might be impressive enough to beat Barack Obama.[/n]
Frank Luntz, who will scrutinise every contour of the race with focus groups and polls between now and November, lamented that the party does not have a better field. He cited Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey and Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, as people he wished had jumped in.
Part of the problem, he said in a recent interview, is that they have "forgotten who their opponent is", and are directing fire at each other instead of President Obama. Their behaviour reminded him of the infighting at the end of John Major's and Gordon Brown's governments.
