Neither, I’d say. As much as people like to complain that the “Democrats appear leaderless”, I don’t see any leaders in the Republican Party, either in the Congress or outside of it. Palin is a vacuum inside a vacuum, and Gingrich hasn’t realized it’s not 1994. Romney is a somewhat shady character to some (I know more than a few Republicans who will stay at home rather than vote for a Mormon), Huckabee is “look at me, I’m Mr. Religion!” and little else, and the list goes on. Dear God, is it going to be Jeb Bush after all? A veritable dynasty of mediocrity?
