(Susan Page-USATODAY)..A 52% majority of those surveyed couldn't come up with a name when asked to specify "the main person" who speaks for Republicans today. Of those who could, the top response was radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh (13%), followed in order by former vice president Dick Cheney, Arizona Sen. John McCain and former House speaker Newt Gingrich. Former president George W. Bush ranked fifth, at 3%.
"...So the dominant faces of the Republican Party are all men, all white, all conservative and all old enough to join AARP, ranging in age from 58 (Limbaugh) to 72 (McCain). They include some of the country's most strident voices on issues from Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court to President Obama's policies at home and abroad. Two are retired from politics, and one has never been a candidate...."

C'mon its the old tired double standard- libs can call us slutty, knocked up, old, white, bald, even attack a public figures family (Letterman/Bristol Palin/A-Rod stupid comment) But if ever a conservative should crtitcize or make fun of or call a lib dem a name - the earth would crack right down the middle -
Well, I for one think their minds and eyes are shut. Gov. Mitt Romney has been working his fingers to the bone helping every GOP candidate secure their positions..He worked tirelessly for John McCain...after his suspension..He has stood up and against many P. Obama wrong turns...He won three years in a row the CPAC STRAW POLL including this year..and he is not white haired.Mitt is strongest all around potential best man for these troubling times. You can't beat the man's private sector turnaround know how capabilities...and his leadership abilities..We need a man with honor and morals, this sounds like Mitt Romney to me..2012....
