Most Republicans are not happy with Mitt Romney. He is not viewed as the strongest possible candidate yet he still won the nomination without much competition. So where have all the challengers gone? The party is lost and divided int he wilderness. To the public their is no clear leadership and no one has been able to unite all of the warring factions that have formed within the party. Mitt Romney is not the answer for the party but there are some out there that could rise and reunite the party of Reagan and Bush 1 and 2.
Those possible candidates for 2016 could be Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, or Jeb Bush. Like anything in life there is always the possibility of someone coming out of no where (such as Barack Obama for the Dems in 2008) to save the party. Only time will tell.
