First in War, Last in Peace, and Nowhere in the Hearts of Their Party

The latest New York Times/CBS News poll (conducted Dec. 11th, using 1,028 people contacted via phone) found that not one of the Republican candidates is viewed favorably by even half the self-identified Republican electorate.

Not one.

Cokie Roberts said it Sunday on This Week with George Stephanopoulos: "The Republicans don't have a candidate."

The poll also found that a majority of Americans think the economy is bad and getting worse.

"A vast majority think the country is heading in the wrong direction."
