according to Intrade. Any other candidate will not improve on this significantly. There aren't exactly many superstars in the GOP and Romney, while far from perfect, is about as good as they are going to get.

What the GOP needs to win is something like gas at $6, another banking crisis, or significantly increased unemployment, between now and November. The candidate is pretty much irrelevant.
