That's what nightmares are made of.

I do agree, there are core supporters that are attracted to each of these candidates...but I also think that each candidate will repel segments of the base. For instance, those attracted to Rick Santorum's pious BS and interest in outlawing pleasurable sex will most likely be turned off by Gingrich's bio. The rich who can relate to Romney, would find Santorum deplorable. Who knows where Ron Paul's supporters would go if he gets pushed out. Romney's support is clearly crumbling and Newt is on the rise again....but Newt has so many flaws, I doubt that he makes it out of the primary season as a viable candidate. If I'm a republican operative, I'm getting more depressed by the day as the candidates attack each other with gusto...essentially doing the Democrats work for them.
