Man, the GOP field is narrowing and we aren't even close to the Iowa or New Hampshire primaries. Even those who many have suggested will throw their hats in the ring haven't begun to put together campaign organizations to begin the hard work necessary to win those critical early primaries.

Can anyone seriously say that there is a potential GOP candidate who might be capable of giving President Obama even a reasonable amount of competition?

It may be a little early for this kind of statement, but this is beginning to look like a landslide for the POTUS. What in the world ever happened to the GOP party leadership that achieved such success in the 2010 mid-term elections? They seem to have disappeared...or maybe they've simply given up on what might be a lost cause.
