Are the Republicans trying to make Obama a gift of the presidency?

Rick Perry has shown that he doesn't have what it takes. Sarah Palin surprised me (that Indianola speech certainly sounded like a bid for national leadership) by announcing that she won't run. Now Hermann Cain, who had briefly flashed across the sky, has committed electoral suicide and damaged the whole party into the bargain. The Republicans risk selecting Romney by default, and I have said what I think of him.
