Talking Points Memo’s Josh Marshall is unimpressed with the current crop of Republican candidates for president.

First, he sums up the whole pitiful group:

I’ve been watching presidential campaigns pretty closely for more than twenty years. And I’ve certainly never seen a presidential cycle when the Republican field looks more feeble, dispirited and generally languid than this year — which is a real turnabout.

But Marshall takes direct aim at “Multiple Choice” Mitt Romney.

But Romney seems so transparently phoney, so willing to say anything that I find him genuinely frightening. And this is something I don’t feel about any of the other credible Republican presidential candidates, though I obviously have criticisms of each. Romney seems almost like a caricature of the political phoney.

Something to say?
