For a while did GOP think they don't have to have a viable candidate for 2012 and now they're in a hurry?

to find one? Did the GOP think they can just nominate anyone, even Palin? Doesn't matter because the economy will make people vote for republicans anyway? Well now, even Bill O'Reilly advices them to start campaigning already because summer will fly by and all of a sudden there's not much time for fundraising. And after all Obama's got some strong advantages - experienced campaign team, money, the advantage of being an incumbent, big corporations helping him out, attractive smile/convincing voice and the hispanic vote.
