Poll shows GOP rejecting all future Republican presidential candidatesby Lou Colagiovanni at the Examiner

"SNIP.............................
A poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University shows discomfort and displeasure amongst the Republican rankings in that the majority of respondents rejected all possible mainstream presidential candidates.
The Republican data tells a story not of unity, but chaos and resentment within their ranks. Sen. Marco Rubio lead with 18%, Fmr. Gov. Jeb Bush at 16%, and N.J. Gov. Chris Christie brought up the rear with 14%. A lukewarm response indeed, but the number that is most telling is the candidate who has received the most support in GOP circles: Nobody!
20% of respondents in the official poll said that they would select none of the present potential candidates, and these are the best that the Republican party has to offer after the debacle of Mitt Romney.
.......
The GOP likes none of their choices for president. Do you suppose they will suddenly find one in 2016 that was missing in 2012? Jon Huntsman, perhaps? Tim Pawlenty? Mike Huckabee? These are individuals who have already failed in the public eye multiple times, and it is telling if any of these men are elevated later in the election cycle to show how desperate times have become.
