Un-Presidential Candidates, ObamaCare, the Economy

Well, I have to say that all the current leading Republican candidates have absolutely turned me off.  The last three debates have been nothing but sniping and outright attacks.  In my humble opinion, the leaders (Perry, Romney, and Bachmann) have appeared completely un-presidential.  The candidate I'm looking for doesn't lower themselves to constantly smearing their opponents, but rather, they spend their time telling you why their ideas work and why they would be the best fit to lead this country.   From that perspective, I think Newt and Herman Caine are far and away the leaders.
