I tend to think that dismal fields are a result of lack of opportunity and hidden incumbent strength, not the intrinsic qualities of the candidates. If the 2012 election were more open for Republican victory, the Republicans would look stronger and people would care less about their weaknesses. But because Obama has advantages that are obscured by the 2010 election results, the Republicans have problems.
If Obama were running in 2004 against Bush as a first-term senator elected in 2000, his defects as a candidate would have been much more prominent.
