WASHINGTON — Despite a bit of a slow start, the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination is off and running. Candidates have officially unveiled their campaigns. They’ve pressed the flesh with voters across the country. And they’ve participated in debates and cattle calls.

But with about eight months until the first GOP nominating contests, less than half of Republican primary voters — 45 percent — say they are satisfied with their current crop of presidential candidates, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

That's substantially lower than the 73 percent of Republicans who were satisfied in the summer of 2007 (when the GOP candidates included John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee), as well as the 68 percent who were satisfied in early 1996 (when Bob Dole won the GOP nomination).


The frustration with the 2012 GOP bench explains why some Republicans are searching for others — like Texas Gov. Rick Perry, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (who has said he’s “100 percent certain” he’s not running) and even former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin — to join the field.

2. In the end I think only two people are likley to get the nomination..

Either Herman Cain or Palin will decide to get in on it all.

I personally hope for Obama that Palin does run against him, because he'd be sure to get his next term.

4. Herman Cain gets the nom....

and two thirds of the GOP stays home on election day. It would be like the Obama stomp of Alan Keyes for Senate.

5. Cain is # 7 out of the seven

weakest one out there so far

3. People are rarely satisfied

DU is satisfied with Obama, Freep-land isn't satisfied with Romney, but they'll make do.
