It's been a maddening game of hot potato for Republican Presidential candidates lately.
We have seen the rise and fall of Rick Perry; the implosion of Herman Cain's campaign due to sexual harrassment claims that are over a decade old; and we're seeing Newt Gingrich, who has more political baggage than anyone on the planet, taking the forefront.
Yup the Republican party is in a state of flux and doesn't have a clear front runner at the moment.
With all this scandal, and candidates stumbling to remember things, you would think that Mitt Romney could put this to bed pretty quickly.
But for whatever reason, he can't. It says a lot that Gingrich is seeing a rise in the polls. People are getting off the Cain train and seeking what they perceive the next viable candidate.
You would think that would be Romney - but alas the thought of Gingrich seems more appealing to the voters.
Perry seems to have been a flash in the pan; forgotten way before the infamous CNBC debate earlier this month.
The other candidates are just there and really haven't gained any solid traction (here's looking at you Michelle Bachmann).
Whatever the case - President's Obama's claims that he's the underdog in this election seem far-fetched.
I really don't think he has anything to fear from this crop of Republican candidates. But only time will tell.
