I honestly don't like any of them. According to most, Cain's 9-9-9 plan appears to raise taxes. Romney's a RINO…no, he's a progressive and Perry, I don't know. I just don't like him. This is why I liked Palin so much.I fear this is election is going to be more about voting Obama out rather than voting in a principled Conservative.
Perhaps it is better to have a field of flawed candidates now than one without (and I would happen to think that Palin would have had her missteps as well had she thrown her hat in the ring). Every election, supporters surround their candidate on either side of the political aisle and throw in their support, despite weaknesses. There is no such thing as a “perfect” candidate, but supporters “build up” candidates in their minds over time. Therefore, I am not worried if all the Republican candidates appear “flawed”; they are, after all, being compared with others on the same side of things. In the general election, that one candidate will shine, particularly because what he or she will symbolize to voters: change.
Remember, it will be the GOP candidate against Obama and his lying surrogates and the mainstream media. As for candidate flaws, egregious ones can cause too much focus on them by Obama's surrogates and the lying media — especially near the end of the campaign. Remember the Times' garbage about McCain's alleged affair?

Which is why the GOP candidates need some serious vetting. I just see too many weaknesses in all of them that Obama and his minions can exploit and probably be successful.

I don't think it's a matter of finding "bad stuff" on candidates. I will assume that there is "dirt" on all of them (though the degree of it will vary). The only real way to deal with it is to know how to minimize the damage.
The perfect candidate does not exist. With the exception of the loon Ron Paul and Mitt “Romneycare” Romney, any of them would be a huge improvement over Obama. It is hard to see how any of them could do more damage to the country following their stated positions than Obama has done trying to keep his campaign promises to the far left.
Not looking for the perfect candidate, but is there any Republican out there who can actually stand up to the media? They need to be offensive, not defensive.

What does this mean? Driving a tank into Times Square? ???
Yeah, as well as all the other OWS locations. ;DThey need to just stop being on the defense when the media "catches" them with something. Romney actually handles it the best, but that's because he'll just flip-flop. Perry and Cain seem to get all thrown off course if something they said is questioned. You don't see this much with Democrats.
What kind of dirt can they find on Ron Paul? Also, who stands up to the media better than him? Yeah he's got quirks, but he's not insane. At least he passionately means what he says.

He needs to change his foreign policy stance. But I do like his trillion dollar cut idea.

Trust me...if he got the nomination, former "patients" and doctor-peers would be coming out of the woodwork with "scandalous" things that happened 20, 30, 40 years ago. I don't even think it matters so much if something did or did not happen; rather, just floating the idea is enough to put doubt in people's minds and cause a candidate to lose percentage points. In the election for the leader of the free world, a few percentage points in voting can mean everything.
