Notice how preoccupied we are here with differences between Clinton, O'Malley, Sanders and Webb. There's grist for all kinds of disagreements (one would hope they're respectful, by the way) over policy and politics. But look at the Republican field: Name three policy differences between Jindal, Huckabee, and Cruz. What is there to recommend one over the others, or for any Republican voter (who hasn't just given up in despair and gone to live in the wilderness) to say it's Jeb! or nobody?
