All of those candidates are FAR better than obama. They acknowledge that he has made the problems worse, and it's going to take shrinking the size of government to get businesses ready to take some risks again. You don't have to be a genius to see it. It's just common sense. obama has tried some socialism, it failed miserably as it always does and we got to see it first hand. We tried it, we learned... back to Capitalism and Conservatism. It's pretty cut and dry, except for those that don't quite learn so quickly.
