A couple of great articles summarising some of the problems that the Republican party is having finding a contender to fight against the President in the 2012 presidential election. The Democracy in America blog here discussing the fallout from the death of Osama bin Laden in May (the short version is that the President is likely to get re-elected). Why?
There is a long piece here by the BBC's Mark Mardell discussing bin Laden's importance for US politics and the world.
ABC news has a very helpful summary of the key candidates here in their 2012 Republican Presidential Candidates: ABC News Guidebook - ABC News
To summarise the problems that the Republican party is having in 2012, the satirical news site "The Onion" has a helpful piece about a surprise contender for 2012 here.
What do you think? Do you have any ideas who might be the Republican candidate?
