Are these really issues?

The Romney/Paul/Santorum Circus is still playing out... now in Michigan... and it is almost getting ridiculous.

We are trying to find the best candidate to run against a sitting President, and all we can ask them for are personal positions on "issues" that aren't going to be addressed after the election is over?  Really?

Who is advising these morons?  And... more importantly... what are they being paid to give this advice?

When asked what your position is on abortion, give the pat answer... it should be a State decision, not a Federal one.  When asked about contraception coverage in mandated healthcare packages... tell them healthcare packages shouldn't be mandated.  Why aren't these guys working harder to separate their "personal" views from their professional views?

This is easy pickings for the Democrats.  They can now take the bulk of the GOP debate issues to date and say that the candidates running in November are nothing more than the most "right-wing" reactionaries on the market.  This is the liberal machine doing its best to make the GOP candidates look really bad... and it is working really well.
