The Usual Suspects Line Up for 2012

From a new column by Pennsylvania-based political pundits G. Terry Madonna and Michael L. Young:
Some of the names are familiar — Romney, Huckabee, Palin, Gingrich, Paul, Trump. Others are less familiar — Bachman, Barbour, Pawlenty, Daniels, Santorum. While still others are largely unknown — Huntsman, Johnson, Cain, Thune, Roemer, Pence. What they all share, however, is membership in the largest class of GOP presidential aspirants in more than 40 years. Not since 1968 has the Republican Party produced such a bumper crop of presidential contenders.

The question raised by the plenitude of GOP candidates is an obvious one: will it matter? Will the eventual nominee emerge after a spirited battle from an open competition across a field of some 20 hopefuls? Or will the Republicans do what they almost always do — nominate the guy (so far, only guys) "whose turn it is."
